About the host

Hosted by Natalie Lange

Host profile image
I grew up in the area and loved TC so much that I never moved away! I met my husband in 2006, who had moved here from the Detroit area. We both own small businesses and combined we have 5 children and 5 grand-children!

Why they chose this property

I grew up nearby and LOVED spending summer days hanging out on beaches, swimming and boating on all of the Arbutus Lakes.

What makes this property unique

Minutes to busy Traverse City but you feel miles away and relaxed at the cottage. The best of both worlds and kid friendly.
