About the host
Hosted by Michelle Boelens
I love Michigan! My family and I love to travel all over Michigan finding new places to experience and explore! My favorite part of being a host is that I get to share all of those wonderful places with my guests!
Why they chose this property
I love that our cabins are close to Traverse City. It's such a great central location to visit so many things in Michigan! It's also absolutely gorgeous any time of year!
What makes this property unique
These cabins were built in the 1950s and they sit on an inland lake that was once part of a cabin community where people went to spend their summer vacations. Times have changed but these cabins remain. Each time I go there, I am reminded of simpler times when families playing on the beach was enough. When my family and I spend time here, we encourage turning off devices and just spending time together - having fun on the lake, marshmallows and stories at the campfire, paying yard games and just enjoying each other's company. Those are the things I hope that our guests enjoy while they are here as well. While the cabins have TVs and internet, our hope is that you use them as little as possible because you're having so much fun outside and with each other!
