About the host
Hosted by Bill Thom
I have been a homeowner in northern Michigan for over 30 years. I was raised in metro Detroit and fell in love with the charm & natural beauty of the mitten state many years ago. Our family spent summers up north, but now my four children are grown and scattered across the country from Virginia Beach to Seattle. It's your turn to enjoy this wonderful property!
Why they chose this property
You will absolutely fall in love with this charming, authentic log cabin. It is like taking a step back in time.
What makes this property unique
Located on the Tunnel of Trees, yet only five minutes from downtown Harbor Springs with a view of Lake Michigan.
