About Us & Priscilla

My wife Jen and I purchased 20 Prospect Street in 2013. The house was built in 1903 as a two family home. Sometime in the 1950's, the first floor apartment was added. All floors have been significantly remodeled since those days. :)

We lived on the third floor for three years. During that time we converted the first two apartments into vacation rentals. We had a wonderful time living on the third floor with our two boys. We enjoyed meeting guests from throughout Michigan, the Midwest, and the world.

In 2016 we purchased a home in downtown Grand Haven and made the third floor available for guests.

So who is Priscilla? We often get asked this question. For those of you who are Christians as we are, Priscilla and Aquilla were a couple in what is today Turkey. While Paul was traveling and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people, he stayed for a time with Priscilla and Aquilla. They too were Christians and were what we today call, "tent makers."

When we worked as missionaries in Johannesburg, South Africa, we were blessed to be able to stay with various people, often times as guests in their homes. When we got back to the States we had a dream to have a place where missionaries could come and stay for some R&R.

While we can only afford to give away a couple weeks each year right now, we hope someday to be able to afford to give away much more. In the meantime, we invite you to come and stay with us. :)
