Meet Your Hosts

Welcome to our Traverse City vacation home! We’re Patrick and Lauren Fancy, and along with our two kids, Annabella and Brayden, we’re thrilled to share our home with you.

Patrick grew up right here in Traverse City, while Lauren hails from Massachusetts. We met back in 2010 at Albion College in southeast Michigan, and the rest, as they say, is history! After college, Lauren’s career took us to Virginia, and Patrick was able to bring his business along, too.

We tied the knot in 2016, and soon after, we became parents to Annabella in 2017, with Brayden completing our family in 2019. In 2022, during one of our many visits back to Traverse City, we knew it was time to reconnect with the place Patrick has always called home. Although we can’t live here full-time, we spend as much time in Northern Michigan as we can, soaking in everything this beautiful area has to offer.

While we’re away, we’re happy to open our home to guests like you. Patrick’s family is still rooted in Traverse City, and his mom, Marisa, is nearby to ensure everything is perfect for your stay. She’s your go-to for any questions or assistance you may need while you’re here.

When you arrive, you’ll find a handy notebook with all the important details for a comfortable stay, including local contact information for Marisa. We hope you enjoy your time at Dyer Lake Vacation Home as much as we do, and make memories that last a lifetime!
