FAMILY MEMORIES

Stayed: June 2011
ORIGINALLY, WE WERE SIMPLY LOOKING FOR A RUSTIC, AFFORDABLE PLACE TO STAY THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE US WITH 11 CHILDREN. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FIND! THE OWNER WAS COURTEOUS AND PROMPT TO ANSWER ALL OUR QUESTIONS, PROVIDING MAPS AND INFORMATION OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. HE PROVED HONEST IN HIS DESCRIPTIONS AND MONEY TRANSACTIONS. THE MANAGER WAS FRIENDLY AND HAD A SERVANTS HEART. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE CLEANLINESS AND HOW WELL MAINTAINED THE PROPERTY WAS. MY WIFE'S MOTHER ACCOMPANIED US, WHO WAS HEAD OF HOUSE KEEPING AT A PRIVATE RESORT, WAS EQUALLY IMPRESSED. ALL WE HAD TO PROVIDE WAS FOOD. THE CABIN HAD QUALITY RENOVATION AND MODERN FEATURES, FIXTURES AND CONVENIENCES THAT BLENDED VERY NICELY WITH THE RUSTIC FEEL. THE LAKE VIEW FROM THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW WAS BEAUTIFUL. I ENJOYED HAVING COFFEE AND READING MY BIBLE ON THE DECK OVERLOOKING THE LAKE. THE SUNSETS WERE BREATHTAKING FROM THAT SPOT AS WELL, AND I COULD NOT HELP BUT REFLECT ON HOW VERY GOOD THE LORD IS TO ME. WE HAD OUR FIRST HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE THIS YEAR, SO IT WAS A SPECIAL REWARD FOR HIM TO HAVE THE LOFT(which had a gate at the foot of the stairs--Thank You!) ALL TO HIMSELF. HE ENJOYED THE PRIVACY AND SECLUSION. WE PRESENTED HIM WITH HIS DIPLOMA ONE EVENING, AND SHARED WITH HIM SOME WORDS FROM OUR HEARTS WHILE REJOICING IN THE MAN HE HAS BECOME. THE CHILDREN ENJOYED PLAYING IN THE SAND BOX, MAKING FRIENDS WITH ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS, AND ESPECIALLY THE WARM SHALLOW WATER .THAT JACUZZI WORKED OUT NICE FOR GETTING 4 BATHS DONE AT ONCE! THE OLDER CHILDREN HAD LOTS OF FUN AND EXERCISE WITH THE KAYAKS, SHUFFLE BOARD AND FOOSBALL TABLE. MY YOUNGER SON, WELL, HE JUST LIKED TO FISH, CATCH MINNOWS AND CRAYFISH, AND FISH SOME MORE. THE WATER WAS VERY SHALLOW, BUT HE DID MANAGE TO CATCH ONE ROCK BASS.THE CHILDREN DID REPORT SOME SHARKS SWIMMING AROUND THEIR KAYAKS(they don't get out much), BUT WHEN I INVESTIGATED, THEY TURNED OUT TO BE SOME PRETTY NICE SIZED, CURIOUS PIKE, THAT WERE'NT QUITE CURIOUS ENOUGH TO GET CAUGHT. BEING FROM THE DETROIT AREA, WE'VE NEVER SEEN WATER THAT YOU COULD SEE THROUGH, OR A SKY SO CLEAR, YOU CAN SEE MILLIONS OF STARS AT NIGHT OFF THE END OF THE PIER, OR A QUIET SO DEEP YOU CAN HEAR YOURSELF THINK. WITH LITTLE ONES IN BED, WE GOT TO ENJOY WARMING OURSELVES FROM THE COOL, EARLY JUNE, EVENING BREEZES, AROUND A CAMPFIRE WITH SOME POPCORN AND SMORES. AND THAT JACUZZI WORKS NICE ALSO FOR A TIRED MA + PA, WHO ARE STILL IN LOVE. THANK YOU FOR A MEMORABLE TIME, WE WILL CHERISH IT
