Good to know
Why book here instead of on Airbnb?
It's the same house and the same host. Booking here skips the platform's service fee, you pay by card through Stripe, and you're talking to me directly from the first message.
Is paying here safe?
Payments run through Stripe, the same processor behind companies like Shopify and Lyft. Your card details go straight to Stripe and never touch this site.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancel 14 or more days before check-in for a full refund. Cancel 7 to 13 days before for a 50% refund. Within 7 days of check-in the stay is non-refundable.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Just mention it in the note when you book so I can leave a couple of towels out.
Is there air conditioning?
Central heat for the cold months, and portable A/C units plus fans for the handful of hot weeks each summer. Lake breezes do most of the work.
How does the calendar stay accurate?
It syncs with the Airbnb and VRBO calendars every few minutes, so if a date shows open here, it's open.
Do you charge tax?
Michigan's 6% use tax on short stays is added at checkout, the same as on any platform.
