About the host
Hosted by Tom Welch

Tom and Katie have owned the Claddagh Cottage for over 25 years and love how peaceful northern Michigan can be!
Why they chose this property
They loved the up north look and feel, close enough to town but also remote enough to have peace and quiet and enjoy the stars! The lake is a nice and clean, spring fed lake.
