About the host

Hosted by Kevin Ross

Host profile image
Kevin and I have been blessed to spend family time at our relatives lake homes since our children were born. We wanted to be able to share that with our family and friends. Our goal was also to open that experience up to the community. We wanted to create a space to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.

~ Kevin and Emily ~

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with this log home. We found it when driving home from our child's summer camp. It provides great space to come together as a big group but still allows moments of solitude. The yard and garden are great for games and relaxation. It has a great story and ties the history of the property into this newer home.
