Our Mission
Blum's Landing is being built for those people who defend our freedom in the war on terror. It is not a rehab center, but a place for our military personnel and their immediate family to come for a short vacation.
Blum's Landing will be a place for military personnel who have endured physical and/or mental wounds from serving in the war on terror. The Landing will be a bed and breakfast for military personnel and their families to relax, to recoup, and to re-energize from the stress of their current rehab and duties.

History
Terry and Jan Blumberg are building Blum's Landing in loving memory of their son Sgt. Tevor A. Blumberg - known to his fellow soldiers as "Blum." Trevor was killed Sept. 14, 2003 in Fallujah, Iraq. He also served in Korea and Afghanistan prior to deploying to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne Division.
Trevor asked his parents to do two things if he should not return from his mission in Iraq. The first was to care for his dog, Scrappy. As you can see, Scrappy is doing fine.
The second was to take care of his guys, which has proven more diffcult. After many prayers and meditation, the concept for Blum's Landing was born. Trevor loved the outdoors; especially the woods, lakes, and rivers of northern Michigan. He often spoke about bringing his fellow soldiers to Michigan for fishing and camping trips. This love for nature and his dedication and loyalty to his friends inspired the idea for Blum's Landing.
