About the host

Hosted by Sarah Hall

Host profile image
The property was purchased in the early 60's by Palmer and Myrtle Bruland as a summer getaway for themselves and their 5 children. The house was finished in 1966. In 2015 it was converted to a year-round Vrbo with holidays and other dates reserved for the extended family. Over the decades we all have fond memories of play and laughter and expect to see the tradition continue through the coming generations.

Why they chose this property

Peace and tranquility describes what I find most appealing about the setting. Looking out over the shimmering lake simply can't be beat. There is a vast array of birds including resident bald eagles and cranes as well a beaver or two just down Friday Creek. A silky quiet kayak ride down the creek or bike round around the lake are special events we do most every time up in early summer. Taking the SUPs for an evening paddle is a favorite among all.

What makes this property unique

We offer amenities for all ages both for both inside and outside: games, cards, toys, train sets, cars, books, puzzles, dolls, horseshoes, beach toys, and the lawn game Kuub.

Because the house is owner maintained and not by an institutional service, the property feels more like a real lived in home because it is. We like sharp knives, a variety of seasoning, and decent pots and pans, just like you do.

We allow pets once vetted with a limit 2, which add to the convenience of bringing your fur babies on your travels. Additional charges apply for pets.
