2022 Summer family vacation
I rented this property because it is in our old home town where we raised our 2 children and most of our family lives.
Our host was most gracious and had family close by that was very friendly. The cottage was comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. It was extremely nice to spend time in our home town and visit with family.
Thank you so much Michael Boonstra.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Boonstra
Live in Chicago During most of the year and go to the Cottage whenever I can in the summer time.
Why they chose this property
Awesome property to escape for a little while. Lots of space in yard to hangout with the ability to walk right into the water. The house is located in town which is not big but has everything you need with the grocery store, diner, brewery and other local establishments
