About the host
Hosted by Chloe A Grego
I was born and raised in rural Michigan in a small house between the cows and the corn. I find a lot of joy showing guests the pleasant small town atmosphere that Decatur brings by renting out my quaint little cottage. I hope to bring many families a lot of bright memories they can keep with them forever.
Why they chose this property
What I fell in love with, and what I hope you will fall in love with too, is the close knit community within Decatur. You will see neighbors walking over to chat with each other, you will see kids playing on the street, and you will see golf carts driving about in the summer. This is a fantastic summer town that can be enjoyed by all. The entire town feels like a campground.
What makes this property unique
What makes my property unique is it is budget friendly vs the benefits you're still receiving. Although it is not necessarily a lakefront property, you can still enjoy a subtle view of the lake from the front yard. The beach is a very short walk and an even shorter drive and is free to use so you are not out of the summer lake experience. You have the benefits of a fenced yard so your pets and your children can roam free with minimal supervision. I have a tree swing, small children's clubhouse, and you can also enjoy the fruit when it's harvest time! We have a golden delicious apple tree and grape vines growing right in the backyard.
