About the host

Hosted by Jennifer and David

Host profile image
After many years of camping and staying in vacation rentals, we made the decision to purchase in Leelanau County. Having had so many wonderful trips in vacation rentals, we wanted to also share our place with travelers.

We're nature fans and love the meadow and woods on and around the property. When not roaming nearby, we spend our time biking from town to town and playing in Lake Michigan.

We still love to travel. We run, bike, and swim. Let us know if you have any questions about the property or area and we will do our best to help out.

Why they chose this property

While we love to travel and explore new places, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is, for us, one place we come back to again and again.
