I enjoyed this year with a couple of friends and found some really cool things that would benefit cottage living. They had landscaping, docks, boats and anything you can think of on the home improvement side, but they had some really fun stuff too! Check it out if you can!
We started to have some fun with the giant wooden rocker! We felt like Eidth Ann aka Lilly Tomlin! Really cool furniture great for home or cottage!
From there we went in to find many exhibitors that were full of info and ready to answer questions!
We were greeted by a beautiful pond with an inviting boat. After the rocking chair we just were happy to know that was more for show than to try to boat in!
Custom made bean bag toss boards with drink holders... that seemed to be MY theme for the day!
Tons of info on Lakes and Wildlife
This was really cool a big sand box! And the Sand Pirate was there!
It is just amazing what people do with sand! Stop by and take a look at her photos too! Just great!
Love this guy!
and you know what he was holding???
This poor little night! But he was armed and ready to battle.
I think he was going to slay this monster so he could enjoy the show!
Lots to see and samples to eat too!
I guess on Sunday they will be tearing these great works of art down!
We also had a discussion of what sort of kayak we would want.
This sounds like fun!
Great 'show speical' pricing on them as well!
Lots of colors to choose from.
Our talk was mostly about what was the right position for the .... drink holder!
This was the winner and my favorite!
Many kinds of out door ~ water fun toys!
Even a full size cottage! They told me it took three days to build!
Would you believe the show special on that was $109,900? and wait till you see the inside!!!
Not big, but it was very well laid out!
I am starting to look for lakefront land now!
This also includes all the appliances!
This upstairs loft was plenty big for friends and guests!
It was very charming and you could just imaging being in there.
Reading a book, cooking fresh caught fish, relaxing by the fire, watching the wildlife!
Relaxing......
The bath was good size! Just charming!
This was on the mail floor.
The stack-able washer and dryer were also included in the 'show special' price....
Even though this was in the bathroom, the bathroom had plenty of room.
I didn't get a picture of it, but the floor was stone!
If you are not in touch with nature when you live in this delightful home, there is no hope for you.
The only thing it was missing was the lake!
This is the view of the outside. It is bigger than it looks!
You can see the stone flooring that was used inside!
The colors in the cottage were just perfect!
Great job!
Can you believe this is an OUTDOOR speaker? YES!
There are different pot sizes and colors and get this.... even rocks!
You can have your outside wired and doc your ipod and with a touch of a button on your dock... play your favorite relaxing tunes!
One system for everything! Very cool for sure!
The sound was amazing too!
Home furnishings to get the look for summer fun!
Living or vacationing in Michigan is the best!
Don't you just want to go sit down and have some iced tea?
Isn't this just the cutes sink?
This portable wood fired oven is perfect for any home or vacation get away!
They had a section to show you how to install ceramic flooring!
These are just amazing!
Trying samples!!! Yum!
Great landscaping ideas and several business there to answer questions about retaining walls, patios, walks, and even fire pits!
This was only a few! But it is worth the time to check it out.
They also had boats, jet skis and artists there.
It was a great day to get into the warmer season ahead.
There were several real estate and rental properties that were featuring many a great place!
I will be back next year for sure!
