About the host
Hosted by Jill Magrum

Our family built this Vacation Home 25 years ago because we ❤️Northern Michigan for its lakes, rivers, Fall Color & excellent downhill skiing at Boyne Highlands & Nubs Nob just 10 minutes away. My husband and I moved here permanently in 2016, however, after my he passed away unexpectedly last June, I decided to move back downstate. The only way our family can keep our beloved home in N. Michigan is to share it with folks like you who help offset the property taxes & insurance. We value your patronage! And hope You enjoy the home and surrounding area as much as we do! Nearby Harbor Towns include: Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw City & Island, Bay Harbor, and Charlevoix.
Why they chose this property
We choose this area for Two major reasons. Number 1: From our lil dock on Crooked Lake you can go around the word. Crooked Lake is part of The Inland Waterway-which connects 4 lakes & 3 Rivers- traveling all the way to The Mackinaw Straights. Our Tritoon boat has taken this voyage many times & each time we are in AWE of the beauty of the area.
Number 2: Our family loves exploring hiking, biking, small town festivals, winery’s, brewery’s, sailing, Lake Michigan, cross country skiing, BUT MOSTLY WE ❤️DOWNHILL SKIING! We are just a 12 minute drive to two of the best Ski Resorts in N Michigan, including Boyne Highlands & Nubs Nob and just 25 minutes from Boyne Mountain with an awesome Spa, Sky Bridge, and zip Lining. Come see THE BEST OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN!
