About the host
Hosted by Jason Isenga

We are a family of 6 from the Grand Rapids area. Our life is crazy busy with 2 sets of twins (yes, 2 sets:). We love lake life and enjoy tubing and skiing, and pontoon cruises. When not on the water in the lower peninsula, we like to recharge in the UP. This is our second rental property. We also have a cozy log cabin in Bellaire, MI close to Torch Lake that we call Eagles Landing.
Why they chose this property
We LOVE this property so much that we bought it sight unseen! When we visited, we realized that the pictures do not do it justice; it is so much better in person! While the cabin itself is truly amazing, the location could not be more perfect! Situated on Lake Superior we can enjoy lake life and also explore all the Upper Peninsula has to offer in ALL seasons. We are excited about the adventures that await our family, and we cannot wait to share this property with you!
