About the host
Hosted by Jennie Handrich ~ Handrich Properties
Hi! We're Jennie and Josh, owners of Handrich Properties. We've been married for 23 years and have made our home here in Alpena. We love going on adventures with our 3 kids, like biking, camping, and travelling the US.
I (Jennie) owned my own custom cake business for 13 years, and love meeting new people! I now work at our awesome local gym, and love running . I'll be running my third marathon this summer.
Josh is a real estate agent and loves basketball and playing hobby board games. One of his current favorites is Terraforming Mars. He has a vast collection of games, and is always happy to loan them out if you're staying with us and looking for a new game to try.
Our properties have been beautifully renovated and are just minutes from the beach. You will have the entire home to yourself. We live very close by and are happy to help with anything you might need during your stay, providing we are not out of town at the time.
