Our favorite part about being local is supporting other local businesses by visiting restaurants, shopping, and volunteering. We love where we live! You might recognize some faces below as they have worked in a few local places in Benzie County! We wanted to share thanks for supporting all of the local businesses in Benzie County as it impacts so many families including ours! You might be wondering how? Let’s talk about it!

Other small businesses such as The Cabbage Shed, Corner Toy Store, Roadhouse Bar and Grille, MacDonald Marine, and Vita Bella Italian Kitchen and Market at one point had an impact on the kids shown below (except that little one.. he’s not there yet lol). But you will see him heloing dad out in the pumper! Due to the skills obtained in those places, the education they received, and goals they set for themselves..

Christopher is a railroad conductor
Kally is an ophthalmic technician
Karley is attending CMU studying Meterology
Bowen is hitting middle school hard with dreams of becoming a welder 💪.

And we owe this to you for supporting our small businesses! So Thankyou!

We apologize for the unexpected phone outage that occurred today. We were able to switch to a new service provider. 🎉We did not know the exact date and time that this would occur (surprise! It was today!) But we’re back in business and ready to take calls! 231-352-9442

Coincidence: a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

That defines our experience this weekend as we took a moment to camp locally at one of our favorite places! By sheer luck I happened to walk up to the restroom and was met by management and the new Kampvilla owner who let me know they had a back up and were seeking services quickly. Imagine their surprise when I told them I knew who their guy was as he had serviced the campground for decades! A quick call and we were back in business just a short time later.

Loving all of the changes they have made to the park, friendly atmosphere, and overall great experience this weekend! Make sure you check out Kampvilla RV Park!
