Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1989
Why the Owner Chose Lexington
I bought this property as a year-round family home when my children were nearly one and three years old. I worked at Port Huron Hospital as an Occupational Therapist for 18 years and raised my girls in this home. We rented the guest house occasionally in the summer to families for play-mates for the kids. When I moved to Traverse City in 2003 I decided to rent both houses as weekly rentals in the summer to allow us to keep the home and still enjoy it during the off season! I'm one of the rare people in Michigan who go South to the "cottage". I plan to retire there someday!
The Unique Benefits of this Lakefront Home and Guest House
Beach walking remains my favorite activity at my beach house. Our beach is very walkable in both directions, I search for sea glass,fossils and rocks! There is no light pollution in this area so the stars are especially bright, star gazing is one of my favorite night-time activities. Sometimes I lie in the hammock, listen to the surf and watch the stars. There is nothing more calming to me than listening to the surf and looking at the water.
I love to go to the cottage during the full moon, the moon rise over the water is amazing!!!
My favorite time of day at the cottage is SUNRISE!!! I sip my coffee and watch from indoors in winter, in summer I sit on a chair on the stair landing and watch the sun light my world.
The gardens at the cottage are nice to enjoy, they bloom all season long!

Cindy, we can't thank you enough for the use of your cottage in June 2009. The cottage was very clean & well maintained for our family escape. We spent most of our time in the yard at the fire pit taking in the view. We had a large party and everyone found something to do whether it was golf (close by), shopping in Port Huron or just hanging back reading a book in a peaceful setting. We look forward to future getaways in Lexington! The MacLellan Clan!
