About the host
Hosted by Caroline Foster
I live in MN but this property has been in our family for decades and we'd like to keep it available for all to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Grayling is a quait town surrounded by cedar forest that was once primary logging country in the US. The AuSable river is of great importance to this part of Michigan and our family. The "healing waters" as my Grandpa used to say.
What makes this property unique
This land was developed by my paternal grandparents. The current house was designed by my maternal grandfather.
