Hello! We're Jim and Katy and we love nature in all kinds of weather, outdoor activities, and being near the water in our travels. We love exploring history and architecture, hiking around area nature preserves, listening to our local talented musicians, enjoying all the fantastic breweries, wineries, locally-sourced restaurants, exploring beaches for sea glass and other interesting finds, or just hanging out at tiki bars by the water with a cold drink. We finally have a lakefront getaway home in view of Lake Erie and the islands that we love so much and we are happy to share with you!
Jim is a fulltime lodging host. He enjoys fishing, fly tying, and boating in area rivers and lakes wherever we are, camping, Katy's cooking, and photography. Katy is an artist (fine arts & crafts and graphic/web design/illustration) currently working for NASA (3rd generation "NASA brat" working there for 25+ years) who is an avid cook/baker and enjoys mixing up recipes with herbs and essential oils and making teas, also enjoys photography. (You will see various photos and artwork around our "lake house" from our travels.) Also, enjoy having our Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Penny) with us wherever we go.
We love sharing what we love with others and happy to help with anything to make your visit in our getaway home a fun and enjoyable experience–ask us anything! We'll do what we can to accommodate you to get to know our area and you'll soon love it as much as we do!
