About the host
Your host
We are part of a big family who loves spending time together and frequently traveling together. We live in Ann Arbor but love this cottage on the waterfront on the nearby Chain of Lakes as a place to escape, kayak, boat between lakes and host gatherings. We put a lot of sweat equity onto renovating it for our own use, but love it so much we decided to share it with other families like ours. Relax and enjoy what this beautiful area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Our home in right on Whitewood Lake which is part of the Huron River chain of lakes. We think it is a very beautiful home with all of the comforts and amenities you could ask for. We love enjoying the lake views from the front lawn or enclosed sun porch. The porch is a great spot year round, with a large table for playing games or eating. We also have a nice outdoor table in the shade and a large inside island for all of the above.
What makes this property unique
Open floor plan of this home makes for easy flow from all areas and also to the outside. Large mud room entry and plenty of parking.
