About the host

Host profile image
I bought the house in 2009. I renovated the kitchen, guest bathroom, added an outdoor deck and made other improvements in 2013-16. In 2022, I added a dormer for more living space, bedroom and a third full bathroom. I cherish MI ReTreat, but am not able to use it as often as I'd like since I moved from Chicago to Nashville. I enjoy sharing it with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

I looked for two years before buying MI Retreat. I loved the open floor plan, skylights, fireplace and creating a colorful/relaxing space.

What makes this property unique

Abundant natural light. Screened-in porch. Outdoor deck. Modern kitchen. All the comforts of home. Colorful artwork. Wood burning fireplace. You can walk one way down street to beach, and the other way to the town of Union Pier. The place is unique and unlike most rentals. Furnished not like a rental property, but like a real home! MI Retreat is Your Retreat.
