ABOUT
Travis and Kimberly Nave
My husband Travis and I are both contractors and do it yourself type of people. We love creating as we work and taking the blah to OMG. Our travel style is unique. We love experiencing new things and adventuring but don't enjoy the elbow bumping of high density places. So we create spaces that we would want to be ourselves. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
We invested in this Lake Shore Cottage because we fell in love with the feel of being right on the lake, the direct access to the water and the quiet, cozy feeling of the house.
Everything about this home is just easy, cozy and comfortable. And we also love that it is affordable!
