About the host
Hosted by Derek Chamberlain
We are Derek and Katie. Derek grew up right here on Big Lake, while Katie has southern roots. We have 4 children. Derek is in the Navy and Katie is an OBGYN. We love our time on the lake in the summer and hope you enjoy our cottage, too.
What makes this property unique
With our remodel we tried our best to retain features of the original log cabin, while still improving comfort with modern touches. We are still actively planning additional upgrades, including new exterior color, a bathroom remodel, and a mudroom.
