About the host
Hosted by David Graham
Laurie and David met and were married around the lakes in Minneapolis, and moved to Michigan after David finished grad school in New York. Moving to Michigan was like a homecoming for David who went to the University of Michigan for undergrad. Laurie quickly adjusted to the Michigan lifestyle. With their four kids and extended family, this property continues to provide very special opportunities to bond and share quality time together.
Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed year-round Up North activities for our entire time raising our four children in Michigan -- boating, skiing/snowboarding, golfing, snowmobiling. We've always been attracted to the lakes with Caribbean blue water. Walloon was a perfect match for us in all regards. When you add in its close proximity to Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City, who could ask for anything more?
What makes this property unique
After driving just over a mile through a 'tunnel of trees' along side the West Arm of Walloon, you complete the journey going up a gradually sloping hill. Before even getting out of the car in the driveway, you are taken away by the view of the lake, with its turquoise water and the thick green shoreline on the opposite side of the lake.
The upper deck and shoreline deck make great spaces for enjoying the views and sharing time with family and friends, but it is the mid-deck, built around a massive Cedar, that has just incredible, unique character.
The interior, with its ample but not overpowering use of knotty pine, is a perfect balance of classic 'up-north' and modern. Windows are the main construction element facing the lake - four of bedrooms have amazing lake views as well as all the living areas.
