About Us

My husband and I are Michigan natives who love to travel and meet people from different parts of the USA and well…the world!

I have a background in Dietetics and which makes sense as I love healthy living, different foods, cooking, fitness, etc.  Now that our kids are all grown and adulting, we wanted to share our love of travel and exploring with others.

We figured Traverse City was the perfect place to buy a second home. This city has a great restaurant life, tons of local wineries and amazing outdoor exploring available all around the area.

I look forward to connecting with you as a host or traveler and if you are staying with us, I will do my best to make your stay as comfortable as possible! – Kimberly
