About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth
2 Brothers was purchased as our grandparents retirement home in 1979, after we lost our family cottage to the National Lakeshore. Our Great Grandfather first built on Glen Lake in 1923, forever making the water, the trees and the sand a part of our souls. Today, our family is spread far and wide, but gathering at Grandma's house remains a highlight for each of us - as you can see in the photo from our last Cousins Camp. We can only use the house for a short time each year, so invite your family to come make your own memories for generations.
Why they chose this property
Our dad's inherited 2 Brothers from our grandparents. It is located on Little Glen Lake, where the water is crystal clear, blues and turquoise typically reserved for the Caribbean, not to mention the sandy bottom. It is centrally located to the wonder of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Lakeshore, biking, hiking, swimming, boating, local festivals, vineyards, farmers markets and road side stands; vibrant arts community.
What makes this property unique
From the updated kitchen and comfortable bed, to walking down to the dock with your morning cup of coffee or to watch the sunset, our abundant quiet spots to nap or read, a family sized table to play board games and puzzles and a screened in porch to take it all in. 2 Brothers offers a family retreat, a place to reconnect with nature and each other - and have a lot of fun while you are doing it.
