About the host
Hosted by Richard Pruckler
We're Rick & Tonya. We're artists. We both sculpt. We make our tile just down the street at Whistling Frog Tile. This little shop at the corner of Crystal Beach Rd looks like the Blouse Barn. Instead, it's a cute shop with artist-made goods. Open year round. Come see us! Not on Tuesdays & Wednesdays though, we're closed then.
Why they chose this property
Just walking down the street in the evening, the lake is your constant scenery. The woods are beautiful. Delicate ferns and blueberry bushes make way for deer. Green moss lined trails are just behind our house. Most of the summer, the sky is the brightest blue. Clear air comes in from the lakes. For the majority of the year, cool evenings make for perfect hikes.
What makes this property unique
We're right across the street from the Oak Street lake access. One of the quieter access points to the sandbar, we love how the woods hug our property. The sunroom studio is great for dinner or morning coffee. Torch Ridge is perfect for hiking. The chain of lakes is perfect for kayaking. We love Traverse City for its diverse dining options!
