About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Beckey Billlings
My wife and I are semi-retired. We enjoy meeting people and our goal is to make sure everyone has a great vacation. We are not a resort that tries to nickel and dime you. We have complimentary kayak and paddle board for our guest to use. We also offer boat rentals that are priced under market pricing. We would love to meet you and have you stay at the resort. Jeff and Beckey
Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique
We are a short drive from the Sand Dunes, Traverse City and other popular locations. This is a peaceful resort to relax after a day of visiting many of Michigan's popular locations.
