General overview
Our home sits on two acres of forest about 3 miles from the quaint village of Northport, MI. Beautiful beaches are minutes away. The metal building was my husband's boat building shop for years until we decided to turn half of it into living quarters. We think it's pretty charming and comfortable.
The space
Our home is approximately 1500 square feel. There is a wonderful screened porch with a trundle bed for summer sleeping. Two bedroom and one bath. Open floor plan with 12 foot ceilings. A heat pump provides air conditioning on hot days and heat during the winter months. A small Jotel propane stove in the living room takes the chill off. Perennial native species surround the house. There is an outdoor shower.
Guest access
The house is handicapped accessible. The main bedroom does have four steps. The house comfortably sleeps four people. We also have a glampsite, with a king size bed, tucked into the forest on the property. It's pretty nice to get the "up north" camping feel without leaving home!

John and I have been home exchanging for over 15years and love this way of traveling. We've lost count but I think we've done over 100 exchanges all over the world. We're adventurous people who look for places off the beaten path. But we enjoy cities and are open to just about anywhere. Sometimes we travel with another couple or our adult children.
