We had a great stay! The beds were very comfortable but the sofa bed in the living room wasn’t the easiest to manage. The property is well stocked and the location is lovely!

About the host
Your host
Welcome!! I'm a Michigan native and lifelong lake lover who truly believes there's something special about time spent by the water. By day, I'm a teacher, and I carry that same sense of care, responsibility, and attention to detail into hosting.
This home is more than just a getaway to me, and I love sharing it so others can enjoy their own lake memories-whether that's coffee by the water, a day out on the lake, or a quiet evening by the shore.
My goal is simple: a comfortable, easy stay that feels like home. I'm always happy to share local tips for boating, fishing, and hidden Grand Rapids gems.
