About this property
Cozy, Quiet , getaway for Single or Couple
What a way to spend a vacation riding the rails in your very own Caboose. She's beautiful since being fully redone to make the visitor comfortable . Bedroom is at the back of the Caboose which has a Full size bed, new I might add. There is a full bath which has a walk in shower. .The Kitchen is fully equipped. but If you would like to grill out while enjoying the beautiful grounds, it's there for you also. You are 90 feet from Lake Independence which will thrill your desire to fish or just play in her nice warm inland water. THERE WILL BE A CANOE AND KAYAK AT YOUR DISPOSAL, MY COMPLIMENTS. You will enjoy air conditioning, internet and Direct T.V. There is a fire pit for your enjoyment. We have wonderful dark skies so you can be thrilled by all the BRIGHTstars.

About the host
Hosted by Gina Johnson
I was born in the Upper Peninsula, after graduating high school went to the lower Peninsula to continue my education,marry, have my children and live on a fast track for some years. Always I hoped to be back home where I started from. Hence here I am, lucky enough to have raised my children in pristine surroundings,with good air, lots of lakes to play in, trails to walk or climb. I'm a gardener with a passion so you will have lovely grounds to enjoy. When I'm not on me knees in the garden I enjoy cooking,making bird baths or hunting drift wood. Paul and I keep ourselves very busy with our rental interests. We have met some of the most enjoyable people. What a blessing.
Why they chose this property
This property was purchased because it was the perfect place to retire,plus there needed to be a home for our Caboose. We have our home on the property also so anything you would need would be taken care of right away.
What makes this property unique
What is more unique then a lovely Caboose. Look out the front door and there is beautiful Lake Independence, go for a stroll in the garden, or just sit there and listen to the water fall. Grill out on your own weber grill, that fish which you might have caught that morning. You can enjoy some of the most wonderful 4 wheeler trails, Hiking, the fall colors are just beautiful!
