About the host
Hosted by Marcie Miner
We are empty nesters who like the peace of the area. We are self employed who dream of someday retiring. Lol. Show us a picture of what that looks like! We'd love to travel if we could ever get time. For now we live vicariously through our guests.
Why they chose this property
We never intended to purchase a vacation home to rent, however, when we saw this property we fell in love with the quality craftsmanship within the home. The home was built in its current state in 2006. Almost every piece was built by one person who sadly had to sell.
What makes this property unique
It sits right on a quiet lake where no motors are allowed. There is a wonderful walk around the lake as there is a bridge over the dam on the lower end of the lake. There's even a lending library along the way. In the winter people gather on the ice when its safe to ice skate, snow shoe and ice fish. People flock to the lake for the best fishing in the area. We installed a large dock for use during warmer weather. There is a large firepit near the water, large patio behind the house with a chimenea for guests to use. Neighbors are all very friendly. Inside the house is wonderfully constructed with all wood floors and large rooms.
