About the host

Hosted by Karrie

Host profile image
We are big Michigan lovers. Many of our fondest memories happened in Michigan. Lots of summers spent here, we welcomed our first dog, - Callebaut (whom we named our cottage after), we bought our first home together here, we got married here and we look forward to starting our Michigan 2.0 chapter here.

Why they chose this property

While we originally spent summers on Lake Michigan/ Harbor Country area - we realized we didn’t want to lug our beach goods up and down 125 steps. Our friends introduced us to Sister Lakes area and we were hooked. The caveat had to be that we could “log roll out the back door”. We didn’t want to cross the street, drive to or find a public lake access. We had to be lakefront and we’ve accomplished that!

What makes this property unique

We’re cozy and comfortable- but the perfect place to create memories that’ll last a lifetime.
