About the host
Hosted by Phil & Lori Anderson, Owners
We're a young family with 6 children living a simple life in the Keweenaw Peninsula and enjoying all of its natural beauty.
Why they chose this property
It is a little bit of country close to town.
What makes this property unique
It allows us to enjoy our coffee in the morning sun, barbeques and the boat traffic from the deck, and end our day with a good ole' Copper Country sauna.
