About the host

Hosted by Jodie Nettelhorst

Hi! I am Jodie Nettelhorst. My husband and I have owned this house and property since 2000. My family has been vacationing in Southwest Michigan since I was young. My mom owns the house and property next door but it just wasn't big enough now that my siblings and I have families of our own. So, my husband and I bought this property so we could have more room for more people to visit and vacation together. My siblings and I look forward to the whole family getting together one week in the summer for our reunion, no matter where in the world everyone is living. We do our best to maintain and improve our property by reinvesting our profits every year. We work to create and maintain a safe, fun, comfortable place for our family and other families to relax and enjoy. We enjoy it when other families can come and share in our special place on the lake.

Why they chose this property

My family has been enjoying vacations in Southwest Michigan all my life. We started vacationing in New Buffalo. As it got more crowded, we moved up to the St. Joseph area. Around 1990, my mom bought her first vacation house in the area on Lake Michigan. It is beautiful property but as my siblings and I married and had kids we outgrew the house. In 2000 my Mom's neighbors wanted to sell. We ended buying the house and property and now have plenty of room for our families to gather, and, plenty of room to share when we can't use it.

What makes this property unique

We have a large, secluded lot. It has two acres of mowed, grassy yard space. The house and property are on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The sunsets are spectacular and the lake is your western horizon. We try to keep the house as comfortable and carefree as possible. That's the way we like it when we go on vacation.
