About the host
Hosted by Melissa Stolz
My family and I live in Brighton, MI. Which is 30 minutes from the Blue Turtle cottage. We love our Lake front house and would like to occasionally share it with people looking to get away to a cute water front cottage, (perhaps) not too far away. I am also a Michigan Licensed Professional Realtor specializing in buyer and seller needs.
Why they chose this property
I love our cottage! I had been looking for over 3 years for something like this. We don't have the time to travel "up North" to the "cottage". So I kept my search local. This is a newer home compared to many lake front home/cottages. It was built in 2003 and is very up to date with everything you could need.
What makes this property unique
Many other cottages have about 40 ft of water frontage. Our cottage has a whopping 140'! The water is shallow for a ways out, which makes it fun for playing in the water. We are connected to 6 other lakes by boat or kayak/canoe. One is a no wake lake that makes for awesome fishing! We have a western exposure giving us an awesome sunset every evening!
