About the host

Hosted by Kandra Reinbold

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Steve and Kandra—both nurses, parents of two, and longtime lovers of all things Up North. We've spent years camping, biking, boating, and unwinding in northern Michigan. We love spending time outdoors, traveling as a family, and finding new places to relax, explore, and make memories together.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to this peaceful corner of West Branch because it offers the best of both worlds—quiet, woodsy lake views that feel secluded, yet it's just a short drive to restaurants, shops, trails, and year-round activities. It’s a place where families can unplug, couples can reconnect, and everyone can breathe a little deeper. The calm of Elni Lake and the charm of the surrounding area made it the perfect spot to create a retreat we could share.

What makes this property unique

What makes our place special
Nestled among towering pines with peaceful views of Elni Lake, our cozy A-frame is the perfect escape for nature lovers, couples, and families alike. Thoughtfully designed with comfort and style in mind, the space blends modern touches with rustic charm. Whether you're sipping coffee by the fire, stargazing from the deck, or playing games down in the game room, you'll feel a world away—yet just minutes from West Branch shops, trails, and seasonal activities. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to, season after season.
