People ask about our back up plan in case it rains. If the rains passes, we will move the tables outside on the deck. One bride liked the cold AC so much on a hot day that she chose to leave the table inside for dinner. We have so many spaces to use!

Congratulations Abby and Mitch.  This is an amazing ceremony setup!    planning

ABOUT GRACE RIVER ISLAND RESORT

Mike and Karen have a vision to serve others and create a place for family and friends to relax, refresh, and reconnect.

Mike and Karen have hosted on AirBnB for several years. They had a three story home on 2 ½ acres where they raised their three children. When their last child moved out, they had a big house with empty rooms. Mike’s brother recommended they do AirBnB. They were a little skeptical, but moved forward with trying it out. Immediately a friend had an emergency and needed a place for their family to stay and became their first customers. The first year was a time of learning and growing. By the second season they were fully booked and decided to add a kitchen and make a 2nd AirBNB space.

Deciding it was time to downsize, the wonderful property was sold. Mike and Karen then moved to a place on a canal, just off the Caloosahatchee River. Mike won a boat in a drawing and they began exploring the area by boat. On one of their ventures they found this wonderful, tropical island and knew it could be shared with others, just as they had shared their other home.

As their three children were growing up they vacationed with Mike’s extended family every year at a lake resort in Minnesota. They were able to connect with each other during the vacation week having fun playing games, fishing, shopping, water skiing, and enjoying meals together. The families didn’t live close together and the week at the lake allowed them to have the bond of fellowship each year.
