As its name implies, the site is home to two breathtaking homes: one built in the late 1880s by local lumberman Charles Hackley and the other constructed by his business partner, Thomas Hume.

Both homes feature breathtaking Victorian architecture and stunning design touches throughout. The Hackley House was expertly designed by a Grand Rapids-based architect named David S. Hopkins.
