Host profile image
I am a grateful gal who grew up in the back Cottage (known as The Gingerbread House)every summer with my dear Grandmother, Bea Reynolds Hamley Miller in the Main House and in Sarasota, Florida during the winter on Sarasota Bay. I am a composer, writer, business woman and animal advocate with a sense of humor that has come down through the ages. I learned to swim before I could walk by crawling off the pier my Grandfather John Miller and Uncle Mace built. (So I was told by my dear Mother Patsy since I was too young to remember) My Father, Dick Olson worked for Story & Clark piano, and one is in the house. My dear brother Bob and I were so lucky to grow up there and I now vicariously enjoy it through other families and people who can appreciate it's unique charm...it's not for everyone...people either love it or...not so much...so be sure it's the right fit for you. Blessings....Liz Ann, Fizz, Liz, Lizbeth Olson

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family since 1880. My Great Uncle Towne Miller was curator of the Milwaukee History Museum in the early1900's- 1946 His character is still there! :-)) The house is fun for going back in time.

What makes this property unique

Fun, relaxing, rejuvenating, total "Green Lake" getaway. A wonderful place to swim, this spring fed lake is refreshing and uplifting.
