About the Owner
My family and I live in Traverse City. We moved here from a Detroit suburb in 2003 and have loved calling this area home. In 2014 we decided to share our town with summer visitors and find a quieter place to spend our summers. We discovered a charming cabin about an hour north on beautiful Intermediate Lake — now called The Wet Nest — and instantly fell in love with Bellaire, Central Lake, and the lake’s shoreline. Since then we’ve bought additional properties on the lake and a few long-term rentals in the area. We’ve enjoyed many summers on the water and look forward to one day retiring there.
