I am always available to reach by phone, text, or email. We don't meet with the guests but leave the keys or give front door code to renters before arrival. We do have a care taker that lives nearby if our guests need anything from fresh towels to clean linens. Our customer & guests services are top notch and someone is always available for any problems or questions any guests may have.

Our street and area is all lake front cabins and homes that have some of the nicest people. They are totally ok with us renting to out of towners and are very welcoming to our renters. Most of the locals are up for the weekends or holidays and are there to enjoy the lake and all of the same activities our renters are so it is certainly a wonderful area to be in northern MI during the summer time.

No. We have the boat rentals to get around on the lake and there is a bar/restaurant that is usually open on the weekends and during the busy times that has great food and is a local hang out with a very cool back round story and history to the place. It's called Kenyon's Resort. They also sell gasoline on the water for boats to refill conveniently.

We also own near by Zeron's Private Island on Sage Lake that sleeps 10+ people and has some of the most amazing views of around the lake and has all the amenities as any other cabin would. It is run completely on solar power but you would never know it so it is very peaceful and relaxing.
We expect all of our guests to act respectfully and as if this property was their own. We have yet to have any problems with neighbors or locals and want to keep it that way.

We have 3 different pontoon boats that are available between our two properties and for other people around the lake.
