Mom and Dad purchased a "summer house" in Pentwater, Michigan. I know that you trout live all around this area. You are on my radar. I have a boat, waders, and lots of tasty flies that will fool you most every time. You cannot hide from me.
Pentwater is about a 7 hour drive from Bloomington, almost halfway up the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Although I have not been there, mom claims the house sits in the "most desireable" part of town...3 blocks from the beach, and within easy walking distance from all the downtown shops and restaurants. There are lakes and rivers all around, in addition to big Lake Michigan. The Pere Marquette river is just 10 miles up the road and is the 2nd most famous fly fishing river in Michigan (the Au Sable takes the top prize).
Mom and Dad bought the place furnished, so it is ready to go and Danza, Harrison and I, along with PL, are hoping to spend a few days up there in early September. Can't wait to check it out!
Mom is very "geeked" to show it off and to have a summer destination complete with beach and activities for the grandkids. The town of Pentwater has 10,000 summer residents and about 1,000 full-timers.
The house is actually an 1860's cottage with a large addition put on it, plus a 1/3 acre yard and a detached garage that sits on an alley behind. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths (I think), with a full remodel completed within the past several years. I'm told the kitchen is ridiculous.
Looking forward to getting away, watching Harrison eat beach sand, and catching giant lake fish and beautiful wild trout!
