We began our journey in 2015 with a dusty gravel pit and vision for a new home. The gem was the stunning 30 acre crystal clear lake. After purchasing the property we found ourselves hosting church activities and work functions as people truly loved being here. Slowly we began adding amenities to the property. First a huge rope swing, (that we have since taken down). It was fun watching the kids fly into the water. Then the 110’ water slide kept all the kids smiling as they splashed into the lake. Then in 2020 our daughter was engaged to a great guy. As she began looking for that special place to host her wedding we came to realize that it was right here. We wanted it to be a very special place and we went to work.
The first thing was the beach. We shipped the sand in from Lake Michigan, built the rock walls and put it all together to simulate Michigan’s fabulous west coast. Then we began construction of the custom timber framed pavilion. It took all summer just whittling the large beams that would be held together with only wooden pegs. This amazing type of old time craftsmanship provides rustic beauty that is rarely seen today and we knew she would love it. We finished it off with cedar ceilings hand finished in natural color.
