About the host
Hosted by LeAnn Sather
Our family is a busy family of 6 with 4 teenagers and crazy busy sports schedules. We bought the Cottage at Lake Edward because it is perfect for our big family and extending family of cousins, and grandparents and friends. We love all water sports and fishing. We also love winters at the Cottage with ice fishing, snowmobiling, and snow shoeing.
Because our family schedule is so busy we are able to share our beautiful property with Guests like you to enjoy. We have so many amazing memories at the Cottage and we have learned that memories with family are the best gift!
