About the host
Hosted by Abbey and Nick
We live about and hour and 20 minutes away in Escanaba, MI. Abbey and I were both raised in the Upper Peninsula. We love all that is has to offer. Our favorite hobbies are biking, snowmobiling, ATV riding, fishing, and site seeing. We love opening our home to guests so that they can have a one of a kind experience that can't be found when staying in a hotel.
Why they chose this property
This piece of real-estate was love at first site. We found it on Facebook market place as for sale by owner. We scheduled a showing and knew within the first 10 minutes that we had to get this place because of how rare the land was. This is the only cottage on a 50 acre peninsula. We haven't seen another property like it in the entire Hiawatha!
What makes this property unique
We are the only cottage on the entire side of the 190 acre lake! There are some spots in the home that you have a 270 degree view of the lake. There is not a bedroom that you can't look out the window and see water. How cool is that?!
Another crazy unique part is that we have 2 private beaches! One on each side of the Peninsula. Why have access to one private beach when you can have two?!(:
