Company information

Yes, we’re originally from Texas… Indeed, it is pretty cold up here in NW Michigan, but let us regale you with tales of 110 degree August days & skin scorched by the vinyl of your driver’s seat! We went from barbecue and Mexican food to pasties & Boston Coolers, Longhorn and Aggie football to UofM & Michigan State, Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughn to Motown & Eminem, but we’re happy to be here. Luckily Chris spent his freshman year of college on the Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior, so snow isn’t a completely foreign concept to us… but as Michigan-native friend wryly proclaimed, “It’s not- Have you spent A winter up north, it’s- Have you spent TEN winters up north?” Chris grew up camping, & we both love to travel/camp/hike, & enjoy nature. Chris’ grandfather ran a canoe rental business on the Brazos River in TX all of his childhood, so when Barb & John Hanmer made the Riverside Resort available we felt it was the place for us. So, “howdy” (most Texans don’t really say that much, but it’s expected I guess). Welcome to BRR! -Chris & Misti Rasure
