The Area:
South Haven, Michigan sits on Beautiful Lake Michigan, a short 10-15 minute drive from our home. South Haven is a tourist town with a small town atmosphere. Lake Michigan is Truly should be one of the wonders to see, many have visitors think its an ocean because its so big and beautiful. A 3 hour drive to either Chicago or Detroit.

In the winter/spring/summer there are multiple hometown activities, Blueberry Festival, Harbor Festival, Ice Breaker festival, craft fairs and more. If you enjoy downhill skiing, we have two great resorts nearby, Bittersweet in Otsego, MI about 45 minutes, and Timber Ridge Ski Resort about 20 minutes from the home. 

Our Home:
This is an actual picture from our large deck. We have traveled all over the world but the sunsets from our deck have been the prettiest we have ever seen. Our home sits on 5 acres in the Pines, with plenty of room to roam. There are walking trails too. Wildlife is often seen early mornings, white tail deer, raccoons if you leave your garbage out (don't do that, it makes a mess) lots of birds, cranes, woodpeckers, owls, ducks, geese, many squirrels (red, black, grey), and even a friendly neighbor dog may even roam our way.

House Sitter:
We are looking for a couple or an individual to house sit our home while we are away traveling. We are Missionaries who plan on returning in the fall 2014 for a sabatical. The home will be rented out again in the summer 2014. Our House sitter will be responsible for utilities (propane & Electric and Direct Tv = about $250 mos) and during the winter months plowing (usually about a handful of times). Keeping the home clean, attend the flower garden in spring, maintance of the home, and landscape around the home about an acre (the non-wooded area).

We are new to the house sitter concept for our home. We had renters in the home over the summer. We are looking for an individual or couple to live in our home over the winter and through Spring, If you enjoy the country living at its best, serene beauty, quiet living... It's here you will find it.
