About the host
Hosted by Chris
I grew up in southern Michigan. Every summer, I would come up north and stay at a lakefront cottage or camp with my family. These memories helped shape me as a person and my goal was to pass on these similar experiences to my children. Turtle Harbor Lakehouse has been the perfect place to do that! With the blend of a clean, comfortable house and the outdoor amenities that I loved with camping, such-as a campfire pit, charcoal barbecue and lots of outdoor seating we have created the perfect northern Michigan getaway.
Turtle Harbor Lakehouse is a place where my family and I have been coming for years to make great year-round memories. Now, we would love to give others the same opportunity to have the same experience and create their own memories of northern Michigan lake life.
