About the host
Hosted by Gary Hughey
Gary and Stacey, both Michigan natives, have a deep-rooted love for the unique beauty of our area and its stunning lakes. Our home is more than just a house—it’s a cherished gem that fills us with immense pride. Sharing it with our guests allows us to witness families coming together, creating lasting memories. During the summer rental season, we pack up and live in a camper, fully embracing the experience. We’re touched by how our guests appreciate the property’s uniqueness and care for it as if it were their own. This bond with visiting families is truly special!
Why they chose this property
The home is set at the end of a scenic ride thru winding country roads. We loved it at first sight! The screened in porch overlooking the lake had us sold before we even looked at the rest of the home. Nestled on the quiet south side of the lake, it is perfect for a relaxing sit by the water. The views from each part of the home combined with the location, dock, firepit made it the total package. It's close proximity to Traverse City and all that has to offer add to the value of its location!
What makes this property unique
Our home boasts a truly distinctive layout. It offers ample communal spaces for family gatherings, as well as cozy corners where you can enjoy private conversations. Perfect for multigenerational families, it’s a rarity in the area—a harmonious blend of space and intimacy. Whether it’s grandma and grandpa, parents, or grandchildren, everyone finds their niche. Privacy coexists with shared moments, creating the ideal backdrop for unforgettable family bonding during your vacation.
