About the host
Hosted by Kelly
Hey, I'm Kelly! My husband, Matt, and I have owned vacation rentals since 2008, but we've always dreamed of owning a cabin up north in Michigan. I'm from the Flint area (Grand Blanc) and we have tons of family and friends who live in the Mitten, even though we currently live in Florida with our three boys. =)
Why they chose this property
Our boys love skiing, fishing, and watersports and we love to play golf too, so this was the perfect spot to combine everyone's favorite things. We get great use out of the house with all our family and friends, and thought that others might like it, too. It's nestled in the woods, but not so far out of the little town of Bellaire that there's nothing to do.
What makes this property unique
It's huge! We have 3,400 sq. ft. of living space to take advantage of. Trust us! We like space when we travel, so having the kids downstairs with the big bonus game room with their own giant bedroom and bathroom makes a difference. Adults can play euchre and have some drinks in front of the fireplace or sit in the hot tub upstairs on the main level while the kids play ping-pong, pool, and video games downstairs. Or everyone can get together to roast marshmallows at the firepit. It's a win-win for everyone.
