Our Story

Meet the founders of Fisher 3 Vacations

Charlie & Megan — two born-and-raised Michiganders who left the lakeshore, missed it every day, and came home to share it.

Charlie & Megan

From Grand Haven sand to a life in hospitality

We're Charlie and Megan — two born-and-raised Michiganders who grew up on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan in Grand Haven. After years in Washington, D.C., chasing careers and city life, we realized our hearts had never left home. Michigan kept calling us back — its natural beauty, its close-knit communities, and the kind of peace you just can't find in a concrete jungle.

Like many, our short-term rental journey began during the pandemic. We bought our first property as a personal getaway — a place where we (and our dogs) could recharge while visiting family. But what started as a side project quickly lit a fire. We fell in love with hospitality — the kind where every guest leaves with a smile, a story, and a plan to return.

We began buying properties with potential — sometimes overlooked, sometimes outdated — and poured everything we had into transforming them into luxury vacation homes built for connection. Our specialty? Big, beautifully designed homes that bring people together. Whether it's a family reunion, a friends' getaway, or a corporate retreat, we obsess over the details — flow, comfort, amenities, and wow factor — so guests can focus on what matters: making memories.

"Today, Fisher 3 Vacation Rentals is more than a business. It's our way of sharing the magic of Michigan with the world — one unforgettable stay at a time." — Charlie & Megan, founders

The Fisher 3 journey

  1. The early years

    Grand Haven, always

    Charlie and Megan grow up on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan in Grand Haven — beach days, bonfires, and the small-town summers that West Michigan does better than anywhere.

  2. The city chapter

    Careers in Washington, D.C.

    Years of city life and career-building on the East Coast — and the slow realization that their hearts never left home. Michigan kept calling them back.
