Year Purchased: 1999
My family lives in Ann Arbor Michigan. We have three children, the youngest of whom is 19.
We began renting vacation homes in Northern Michigan in the 1980's. It was always a "shot in the dark" renting homes sight unseen. When we discovered our property in the early 1990's we knew we had found somewhere we could return to every summer. Our three children could swim in the bay which is shallow for quite a ways. We loved tubing and snorkeling in the crystal clear water. There were plenty of "critters" for the kids to study and catch. The Leelanau peninsula is absolutely beautiful and there are many activities close by.
In 1999, when the owner of the property who lives next door offered to sell it to us, we couldn't refuse. We purchased the property in 1999, removed the old cottage and built the new house in 2000.
