About the host
Hosted by Michelle Boelens
My family and I love spending time outdoors every season of the year. Living in Michigan, we get to experience all four seasons and we find fun activities outdoors year-round. We love to hike, bike, run, swim in all the amazing lakes Michigan has to offer, kayak, canoe, fish, ski, four wheeling, you name it!
We love hosting people in our cottages because we get to share all of our favorite places and activities with others and when we see pictures of our guests with smiles on their faces, we know we've put something good out into the world!

What makes this property unique
The two cottages at High Lake Retreat are a small part of a cottage community that was platted in the 1920's and built in the 1950's called High Lake Resort. Since then, many of the cottages that made up the community have been bought and torn down in favor of larger homes and few of these original cottages remain. The cottages at High Lake Retreat have had renovations completed to update them for modern conveniences but we have tried to maintain their original 1950's charm. While the cabins are equipped with a TV and streaming services and ultra high speed internet for modern day convenience, when our family visits, we try to remember life in a simpler time when people came to a cottage to relax and spend quality time with their families - and it's this experience that we love to share with others!
