It’s hard to believe that it’s May and summer fun is just around the corner. I am happy to share that we completed our of list winter projects- since my last post we reclaimed the crow’s nest and gutted what was our primary closet and created the bunk room. This additional space has added four extra beds, and now makes the main floor rental a perfect destiation for a couples escape or a family get-away.
The bunk room was inspired by fond memories of vacationing with our own four children. Drake (15) helped Bob with the construction of the bunks over his mid-winter break. The “Crows Nest” is a beautiful flex space. Ideal for virtual working, pleasure reading, night caps and overflow.

We are headed up this weekend, and two cool events are happening. The Northeast Region Famers Market opens on Saturday, and the Tawas Point Light House will host its grand re-opening celebration. The good news is- these activities are available now thru the end of October. Here is a link to the Tawas Area Chamber of Commerce so you can learn more about what this amazing community has to offer.
I am also excited to get our next Women’s Retreat on the calendar- “Summers Last Hurrah” Women’s Retreat September 6-8, 2024
Come and enjoy a fun and relaxing weekend at the LHR for our “Summers Last Hurrah” Women’s Retreat. This two-night, three-day event will provide you with a chance to soak in the last days of the season and recharge your mind, body and spirit. Enjoy fellowship with other like-minded women through our retrospective group activity, release your stress with a walk on the sandy beach and let the sounds of Lake Huron soothe your soul. We will honor our bodies with healthy food & drinks and set aside time for daily prayer and mindfulness. During your leisure time you can explore the Tawas area, or simply enjoy the peaceful property and rest. I have partnered with a local artist, Kendra Gagnier, and she will lead us through a Great Lakes Beach Glass project, that you will be able to make and take home as a beautiful reminder of our time spent together.
