About the host

Hosted by Michigan Family Retreats

Host profile image
I once went on a trip to visit my daughter, who was living in a different city. Unknowingly, I booked a rental run by a large corporation. We had trouble with their automated check-in, and couldn’t get in touch with a real person for hours. So, I ended up having to find a hotel room late at night. The experience crystallized what I wanted for Michigan Family Retreats: a hands-on, family-focused, stress-free getaway, where the only thing people have to worry about is what they feel like doing together each day.

Why they chose this property

Three acres, on the sandy side of the lake, just off Phoenix Road -- we couldn't ask for anything more.
