About the host

Hosted by Naomi Woodruff

Host profile image
We are from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and have inherited the cottage from Mom, known to everyone as Kay. Kay loved the serenity found here and could not wait each year until it was warm enough to come back for Summer. She loved her neighbors and friends and enjoyed being able to host them and give them the opportunity to share in the joy she received here. She was often embroidering while conversing with her visitors or watching them play out on the water. All of the needlework found in the house was done by her, as well as the countless pieces that she has gifted to her friends and families. Kay was known for making the best cookies. Being able to bake cookies for others was a way for Kay to show her appreciation and love for others. There was never a shortage of cookies to go around. We do not have the opportunity to enjoy the house regularly as she did and want to pass on to others the love and serenity that can be felt when you are at Kay's Haven

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful as it is a dead end road. This makes it suitable for walking, listening to the birds chirp and watch the bunnies and chipmunks.

What makes this property unique

The lake, the charm of the home, and the surrounding nature.
