The community areas are the yard games like volleyball the swim pool spa and the docks and kayaks and lake toys and trash container across the street. Remember do not park on the street say in your driveway please and avoid using or intruding on other guests if they are using that area just wait, they won't use the area for that long before you can use it next.

You can reach out to us by text or call for our group communication to include the prep clean person.
contact person and overall manager and owner, we have a maintenance person also that will be included on the text for any issues you might have please text as we have 3-4 people monitor this text.

This is on a cul-de-sac, and we own the lot across the street to park your vehicles.

We have a guest check in person that and if not available will get your code for you by text and check on you if needed, your first 4 guests are covered in the clean prep fee in in billing at approx. $20 per person.
We have an open-door policy.
This means you can add guests up to and including after your arrival.
The fees for your guests will be calculated after you decide your done adding or inviting guests and giving us your final total.
Extra guests are $25 per night and a 1 time prep clean and linen fee $20 per person less what you already pay in your original requested fee.
This can be deducted or will be taken from your deposit if not paid along with any damages or not cleaned or missing items.
We prefer to clear this up before your arrival if your open-door guests' numbers are certain, however we can wait until 24 hours before check-out if you prefer and need time to get your open-door numbers finalized.
This is much like a fridge in a hotel with fresh beverages as you consume them you will have to eventually pay at check out.
Prior to arrival to property pay check-in prep fee $75 min or $20 per person
whichever is greater less amount PAID in app.
$20 x ? people $??? less -$? Paid in app= bal $?
Extra guests ? x extra total x $25 per night =$?
Extra Guest example:
4 extra guests x 25 x 2 nights = $200

Thanks.
Notice ...Our house rules -Policies are stated her as our refund policy does change throughout the year specifically in peak season due to platform inability to change.  Smoking is allowed outside areas only, No fireworks or events. The rental agreement must be signed within three days of your booking approval or if not signed it is constituted to have been accepted when charge/ payment has been processed or received, and a copy of your ID must be sent to us before check in. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your reservation without a refund. Transfers (to another week in the same unit or to another unit) are commonly treated the same as a cancellation, unless we agree to move you to another location and another date which may have a rate increase if in other peak seasons or different date ranges and agreed increase of rental rate can be determined. The initial rental deposit and  rate change will not be refunded, and dates rented. The size of the guest sleeping capacity would try to match but not guaranteed. The property may or may not be in the same area and may or may not have same amenities. The dates may be exactly the same or different from original dates pending availability. We offer a waiting list that you can join as our algorithms determine the optimal scenario. Currently, from May 1st to September 30th, we require a 3 to 6-night stay for bookings of any weekend night made more than 3 months in advance, and a 2 to 3-night stay for weekend bookings made less than 2 months prior to your desired dates. One-night stays are considered on a case-by-case basis, usually accepted during weekdays in the peak season, and almost always approved during the off-season. Please note the house rules: an additional guest rate of $25 per person, per night, with a one-time preparation and cleaning fee of $20 per person. Deduct any amount already billed to determine the accurate rate once the final count of guests staying and those visiting past 9pm, who are considered overnight guests, is confirmed. This can be adjusted due to our open-door policy, ensuring we have the most accurate guest numbers possible. The platform does not provide these figures to us. Typically, we add $20 per person or a set amount upfront for a base preparation fee, but as we do not yet know your final guest count, we can finalize the number of guests upon arrival or shortly before. A damage deposit is required for all properties before arrival unless waived by the owner. Property access is granted once the damage deposit and any remaining balances are settled. The deposit amount depends on the property and group size, averaging between $20-$25 per person, with a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $2500. Payments can be processed through Cash App or directly on this platform. The deposit is refunded within 14 to 21 days after checkout, provided that your review has been submitted. Upon arrival at the property, you are required to complete our arrival review sheet. You can find a link in the group check-in text, or a hard copy will be available on-site. If not completed within two hours of arrival, any waived fees will be reinstated on your bill, or a minimum fee of $100 will be charged. The swimming pool spa is designated for use exclusively by your group in two--hour intervals or as long as no one in the house next to you is waiting and we only have 2 houses per spa that can use each spa, as per the schedule outlined in the calendar following the manufacturer's recommendations. When the cover is open or the privacy nets are drawn, it indicates that the spa is currently in use by a group, either from your party or from the neighboring house. The shared areas include kayaks, canoes, rowboats, a swim beach, three docks, volleyball and basketball courts, trash disposal, and a free wood pile located by the dumpster. Please ensure that outdoor umbrellas are closed when not in use; a $50 fine will be imposed for any damage incurred. Fireworks are strictly prohibited without exception. Non-compliance will result in neighbors contacting law enforcement, and you will be required to vacate without a refund. Propane tanks cost \$30.00 each, plus a \$40.00 deposit.. For check-in and check-out procedures, we will coordinate via group messaging with the caretaker prior to your arrival and may approve an early check-in or check-out upon review. Please ensure all communications are conducted through the group check-in text.

Place to stay that let my little stay too!!
I knew it was older lake cabin, no worries it was nice. The weather didn’t cooperate so was unable to enjoy the property to it’s fullest. My complaints: there were ants on the kitchen counters, no matter how many I killed more came back. So they need to get that under control, but again early season rental probably fine in middle of June. The hot tub is shared and actually sits on another cabins patio, so could be strange if you and your neighbors don’t know each other. My experience was fine, if you want a lake front get away with some cool stuff around including pretty good restaurants I would recommend this place. Communication was fantastic, owner is super nice.

Responsive Hosts and Nice Retreat
The hosts responded promptly to all communications and accommodated an after-hours check-in which was thoroughly appreciated. Unfortunately, the interior was plagued by a pungent odor (think uncooked chicken left in a trashcan for a couple of weeks) that was a dealbreaker for our wedding night and resulted in a last-minute pivot to Embassy Suites. While I can't comment too much on the rest of the facilities due to our short stay (less than 30 minutes), everything appeared visually clean and in great working order likely making for a great family or friends group weekend getaway. I would still recommend, just planning to show up during normal check-in hours and not be too exhausted to dialogue with the hosts if some special request or additional cleaning is needed (both of which I anticipate they would both promptly and thoroughly address).

Campau Lake
Very cool spot, other vacationers were super cool and everyone got along very well. Definitely more spacious on the inside than it looks from the outside so that's really nice and is a very beautiful and peaceful environment. Also super cool cuz they offer kayaks and conoes, volleyball, firepit, and a hot tub! :)

***SCAM DO NOT STAY HERE***
My group of friends and I DID NOT stay here!!! We walked in- washed our hands- and contemplated calling the health department because of the unsafe conditions.We were supposed to get the brown cottage and when we were being “upgraded” the house we were sent to was a yellow house that was recently flipped! When we arrived at the location that property was occupied. My rental description was that of the brown house and the pictures were on that location. We did NOT WANT, or ask for the “upgrade”. When we got to the property there were animal feces all over the yard- cigarette butts and garbage. I have pictures of all of this in addition to the newly painted bathroom which is a hazard because when you are painting you need to have a ventilated area for at least two days before staying. There was no carbon monoxide alarm, a faulty smoke alarm in addition to a non-working furnace and a potential gas leak. There was no fire extinguisher to be found in case anything did happen! Our check in time was supposed to be at 3, got pushed back to 4, then 4:30, then 5:00 and then finally 5:30. It was communicated that there was an internet issue and that needed to be fixed. Upon arriving there was no evidence of repair work on the internet nor cable and was told they were not able to fix it so we were without! As soon as I walked in the door it smelled like fresh paint. The silverware was still wrapped in plastic, everything had tags on it like it was recently bought. Stacia was a ok communicator, but was asked and prompted with inquires she seemed to have a “quick” resolution to it all. My friends and I decided that we could not stay in the rental due to a number of things- this rental IS NOT what we signed up for or where we were supposed to be . Be careful with doing business or renting from these people. I have evidence of all of this, two way communication and pictures!

Amazing Weekend Getaway!
Stachia was a wonderful hostess. She showed us how to work everything in the house so we knew how to use everything and she was always a call or text away for any questions or problems. The house itself is truly a castle. A very welcoming home with everything you need in it!

Michigan vacation cottage that could use some work
Spent 3 nights at this cottage and had some issues. The shower handle came apart in my hand that lead to not being able to use the water (including toilet) at all for 1 day and did not have any hot water for 2 days. The bathroom door was off one hinge and could not be completely shut. The couch was very nice in its day but the padding was very worn and the reclining chairs did not function. The hot tub was spacious, but did lose temperature very quickly. The lake was very nice and the cottage had a small boat and a couple kayaks it shared with the neighboring house. I felt the cottage was over priced, but with a few repairs and a new couch could be a nice 1 bedroom cottage. There is a $50 linen fee that is not disclosed until you get onsite. Take cash for that fee.

Tired property
I never received check in instructions prior to arrival even though I messaged the morning prior to arrival. I finally placed a call because I did not have the proper address which was my fault because it was buried in an description which included the other properties they had listed. Prior to getting to the cottage, I received a call from the cleaning person that she had not been notified earlier so the unit would not be cleaned until around 5:30; check in was 3:00. I asked if we could wait at the property until she came to clean so my dad and nephew could fish. This was agreeable. The property is older which is not a problem except the bathroom door is a pocket door which doesn't close all the way because it can't stay on its track. She said the owner offered to upgrade us to the nicer unit next door at no cost; it also needed to be cleaned. We said we would take the upgrade because the bathroom was more handicap accessible and the door actually closed. We left to have dinner. While at dinner, she called to tell me the unit was ready but I would need to make the beds. Also, there was a cleaning fee (not disclosed prior) that I could leave on the table in cash. Also, the TV was not working so they opened the unit above us for that. My nephew is in a wheelchair, my parents are elderly and none of them can climb the stairs. We went to bed and left early the next day. Very disappointed with the experience. I did not leave the fee.
