• "When Jim Meathe and Brad Young came to me with a clear concept for lake homes - historic charm with modern conveniences - I was enthused and thought "at last, a developer who gets it". Since then I have enjoyed a collaborative design and building process with Young & Meathe, with this clear focus. Three years and seven lake homes later, I am still impressed with their commitment to deliver the highest quality construction materials and details. But more importantly, from one architect's standpoint, I like their sense of aesthetic style and commitment to good design. I have learned a lot." Greg Presley, Presley Architecture
  
  
• "Y&M make their Victorian cottages on Walloon Lake a work of art inside and out. You experience the warmth and charm of the original lake cottages that have always offered a welcome retreat to those discerning owners that seek out this Northern Michigan lake. The best of every product is used...their craftmanship will stand the test of time." Patricia Verhelle, ReMax of Petoskey
  
  
• "I have been impressed with Young and Meathe's commitment to building homes of fine craftsmanship and beauty. Their building team is one of the best that I have worked with." William T. Baker, Residential Designer
  
  
• "Of all the homes we have built over the last 30 years, the Young & Meathe cottages have been the most challenging and exciting. It is a pleasure to bring back the character and charm of the early 1900's lakeside summer retreats. They have captured the style of that era while incorporating the quality and features of best of modern house science." Erwin Doublestein, Doublestein Builders
