About the host
Hosted by Andrea Scott
Why they chose this property
I love this location 5 minutes from a lakefront run, pet walk or to watch the sunrise over one of America’s Great Lakes. We have beautiful beaches in the summer, 5 minute walk to the zoo and huge children’s beachfront playground. Beautiful contemplative fall walks along the lake. 20 minute walk from downtown coffee, shopping and restaurants. Don’t forget to see our lovely marina.
What makes this property unique
Unique, historical cottage “Cream City” brick home from the previous century situated near America’s Great Lake Michigan.
