About the host
Hosted by Michelle
New VRBO - first available August 2021. We have lived in Michigan for over 34 years and have always loved the great outdoors and cabin/cottage life. A family cottage has always been a life long dream and we hope we can share this dream with you all... Will be renting as much as possible for a few years to recoup some of our investment.
