    Living Room Dave Salley has restored this 1970's log-style home and added custom details such as log railing and fireplaces. They have added their personal touches to provide a unique museum-like atmosphere. Their love of log homes, rustic furniture, gardening, and people contributed to the birth of Sheltowee Trace Bed & Breakfast. In fact, they found this place to be so special that they were married on the property under a canopy of fall colors, as family and friends sat around the crackling bonfire.

    Concord is located in western Jackson County. This picturesque town, with its well-cared for turn-of-the-century buildings, is situated on the Kalamazoo River, overlooking a pond to the northeast.

    Jackson County, named for President Andrew Jackson, is located in the central/southern portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. In the late 1820's, settlers from New York moved there. Prior to that, it was inhabited by Pottawatomi, Shawnee, Kickapoo, Sac and Fox Indians. Horace Blackman is the father of the county and the city of Jackson, where in 1829 he built the first log cabin.

    Jackson County's countryside consists of rolling farmlands dotted by many lakes, with a significant portion of the northeast corner, state forest land. Recreational opportunities abound, including the Sharonville State Wildlife Area and Cambridge Park near Brooklyn. Jackson also offers a variety of cultural activities including the Cascades Waterfall Park, opened evening hours Memorial through Labor Days. Many of the rural towns have retained a turn-of-the-century look, with well-preserved buildings and decorative landscaping - a pleasant Sunday drive.
