Coincidentally, both of us vacationed in the northwestern corner of the lower peninsula of Michigan with our families when we were young - Lynette at Spider Lake and me at Crystal Lake. We both have fond memories of our adventures there and when we met many years later it was one of our many connections. We have spent much of our free time over the years playing and hanging out in this area of Michigan with our older boys and now our young daughter.
My parents first built a home the bluff above Crystal Lake in the late 1970's. My dad named it HER View - representing his initials as well as the obvious. Crystal Lake has been my second home ever since. Eventually, my parents retired there. My siblings and I inherited the house and have shared it. We love that house and the time that we spend there with my family, but Lynette has long dreamed of a house on the water where we can spend time with our daughter and, someday, grand kids.
This house was a big leap for us. But we have been looking for the right place for a long time. It is such a special place that had been beautifully renovated by the prior owner and is located on the lake just where we wanted to be. Most importantly, it is exactly the house that Lynette has long dreamed of. When it became available, ready or not, we had to go for it. We're calling this one HER View Too.
