Perfect Location

Although I was here for a family emergency and not a vacation, this place was perfect. The owners are very welcoming and communication was excellent. The house is nice and secluded with an amazing dock but close to both Melrose and Keystone Heights. The house and property have plenty of room for larger groups to spread out. Thank you Maggie and Micah!!!

Great get away at the lake.

The house is very spacious and has everything you need. It is very quit and we docked the boat a few hundred feet from the house. Santa Fe Lake is a beautiful Lake for fishing and boating. A nice deck on the back of the house has many types of grills, smokers, and coolers. The host met us at the beginning to show us around and were available for anything we might need. Other than that, we were left to do as we please. Very nice people. We will definitely come back for more relaxation.

About the host

Hosted by Maggie Huijon

Host profile image
Micah’s remarkable 24-year tenure in the Coast Guard as a rescue swimmer stands as a testament to the profound significance of both family and adventure in his life. Throughout his dedicated service, he seamlessly intertwined his professional responsibilities with the joy of travel and the worth of family bonds. Accompanied by his daughter, Micah traversed the country, fostering unforgettable memories and instilling in her a sense of wonder and resilience. Along the way, he found love and companionship in his girlfriend, Maggie, with whom he has embarked on countless adventures exploring the diverse landscapes the US has to offer.

Maggie’s upbringing in the picturesque Napa Valley, instilled in her a deep appreciation for nature and the art of food. Her formative years within this idyllic yet industrious setting shaped her understanding of the world and the beauty of diverse cultures. Her insatiable wanderlust led her to travers 25 countries in a single year, backpacking through awe-inspiring landscapes and immersing herself in a tapestry of global traditions and experiences. Rooted in her Mexican heritage and upbringing in California, Maggie holds family at the core of her identity.


Meeting in February 2020 in Sonoma, California, proved to be a serendipitous encounter. Despite the unlikeliness of the timing, their initial meeting sparked a gradual and heartfelt connection as they got to know each other better. Their journey exemplifies the harmonious blend of duty, love and exploration, embodying the true sprit of a life well-lived.

Why they chose this property

The lake is our family's happy place. We have been making memories here for nearly 15 years. The neighbors we've met have slowly over time moved on and have allowed us to purchase their family homes in order to expand ours. This particular home, The Cozy Lakeside Cabin, was in our dear friend Norm's family for over 60 years.

What makes this property unique

We have zero fences that divide up the three properties which makes it a family friendly environment. We have three docks and one common fire pit area that when we are home we love to help our guests light and get to know them a little better.
