About the host

Hosted by Jessica McPhall

Host profile image

I am originally from Harbor Springs, but now reside in Alanson with my Husband, family and dog. I enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, picture taking, reading, and bowling; just to name a few.

My husband and I find the most enjoyment being in, on or near the water; and spending time with family and friends.

We both have a passion for helping people and are dedicated volunteers in our communities and beyond.

We love to travel, but Northern Michigan will always be our home.

Why they chose this property

It's a peaceful neighborhood for scenic views and relaxation. Lots of swans, ducks, muskrats and otters make their way through the river daily. Sunrise and sunsets colors are breathtaking.

The Village of Alanson may be small, but offers so much to see and lots of places to dine, visit and shop. Crooked River is beautiful in every season.

What makes this property unique

It is located near the M-68 bridge in Alanson, the Swinging Bridge and the Crooked River Locks.

The river allows easy access to Crooked Lake, Pickeral Lake, Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and the straits.
