About the
owners
Years ago, while bound for nearby historic Fayette
State Park, Tom and Sandy Jacobs passed a cute set of
cottages on the side of the road with a for sale sign out
front. Sandy immediately fell in love with the cottages and
the incredible Lake Michigan location. So they packed their
bags, left the Lower Peninsula and made their way to
Naubinway to become the new owners of Hog Island Country
Store & Cottages.
With no experience running a country store or
cottages, the Jacobs had to hit the ground running. Sandy,
a former intensive care nurse and Tom, a retired Delphi
Corp. worker, have used their skills to remodel and update
the cottages. Fresh flowers and Sandy's touch can be found
throughout the property.
After all that, Sandy is still waiting — waiting to
go to Fayette State Park, that is. For now, the Jacobs
continue to work their magic and welcome families and
visitors to the area.
