Interaction with Guests:
We are a family of 6 from the Grand Rapids area. Our life is crazy busy with 2 sets of twins (yes, 2 sets:). We love lake life and enjoy tubing and skiing, and pontoon cruises. When not on the water in the lower peninsula, we like to recharge in Northern Michigan.
Please call, text or email us with any questions. We are here to make sure you have a first class experience during your vacation.
We appreciate you taking good care of our cabin during your stay.
