Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Pam Comer
Dave and I have always loved traveling and have stayed in many vacation rentals over the past 20 years. We originally built the garage apartment next door for our son and his family but they're only here for 2 weeks a year. Now we want to share our slice of beach, lake and fun with fellow travelers.
Why they chose this property
The cottage next door, where we live fulltime, was built in 1880 and moved from Harbor Point to its current location by horses across frozen Lake Michigan at the turn of the 20th Century. My great grandparents, grandparents, my father, my aunts, myself, my children and now my grandchildren have spent every summer here since 1920 when my father was brought up here on the train in a laundry basket!
What makes this property unique
My grandfather came up to Bay View when he was eleven. He came back up in 1920 looking for a summer rental for his young family to escape the heat in Indianapolis. My grandmother vetted his choices over the phone by asking, "How do you get to the beach?" The other two cottages involved crossing railroad tracks and roads. When talking about this cottage, the answer was, "You just cross the sidewalk."
