About the host
Hosted by Laura Jacobs
We are brothers, John and Sam Eberly. We're third generation caretakers of this wonderful house and are committed to sharing it with others.
We both grew up in this home, and we helped our parents stay here for many years. Now we're keeping it in the family for our kids and grandchildren. Part of this effort includes some limited summer rentals to defray costs and share the property with others.

Why they chose this property
This home was originally built by our uncle Jack, an industrialist and president of one of the "arsenal of democracy" manufacturing firms that carried the weight of WWII production in Muskegon (building tank and aircraft engines). Our grandfather hand built the garage storage cupboards that still hold our tools and fishing tackle. There was originally a large maple tree coming up through the laundry room, and a larger pine tree growing through the back deck!
Jack and his socialite wife Bessie ("Mr. and Mrs. Muskegon" in 1968) entertained here in the 1950's and 60's until the original cottage burned down in the early seventies. Bessie re-built the home and lived out her life here. Our parents inherited the house and made it their home until Dad's passing in 2013.
After all of these years, the house has witnessed so much of our lives that it's unthinkable to part with it. We have so many kids and grandkids that no single family can fairly lay claim to the house, so we've chosen to use it as a rental. This way, we keep the house available for an annual reunion and help finance its upkeep.
This helps with family expenses and keeps the house full of happy guests - just what Bessie and Dad did for all of the years that they lived there!

What makes this property unique
The house, it's location on the lake, and the lake scenery combine to create a wonderful environment for rest - and restoration - of our guests. The lake is by turns stimulating with busy traffic and unbelievably quiet and calm late at night.
Blue Lake supports all water sports - powered or not - and has great fishing. A large portion of the shoreline is occupied by scout and YMCA camps, leaving the shore wooded and unmolested across from the house. You may see canoes and sailboats in the daytime and hear camp songs at night!
We pride ourselves on providing an "all-inclusive" experience with a well appointed kitchen, full complement of towels and linens, and everything kept in good repair. We have a rowboat and kayak included for no extra charge, and there are plenty of fishing poles to go around. And there's a fire pit so you can make memories with your family as the sun sets.
