Things To Do

Southwest Michigan is a very special place to Kallie and John! Kallie's family has been coming to the area for her whole life and have a house in Harbert where they spend as much time as possible, especially over the summer. Since meeting Kallie, John has become a regular for our Michigan trips - manning the grill, competing with Kallie's mom for best bonfire builder, and supervising Kallie's Fourth of July beach firework displays. This is our happy place and we're so excited for you to be here and enjoy some of our favorite spots!
