Other things to note If we had a mission statement, this would be it. Want you to feel as far away from that city as you can. We want you to play hard and get deep sleep and have big dreams. We want you to have awesome memories that you can brag about for years. We want you to feel amazing, be awesome, love the people you’re with harder, get some tan lines, and take all your photos wearing huge smiles. It’s our pleasure to welcome you to a space that’s yours so please make yourself at home, be yourself and start drifting into some great memories. We’ll leave the light on for ya. We are experienced new owners whose intent is sharing our homes to make wonderful stays. We embrace rustic living and the adventure it brings. Nature surrounds the resort and those that are into nature and all its beauty and charm will absolutely love the experience. Those that see nature as a nuisance might not appreciate it. 📝 Our Country Living Creed: It's rustic and we'd never change a thing. It's also COUNTRY out here so please keep in mind you may hear some unusual sounds not heard in the city or burbs. Although we would like to control nature for you we can't. The occasional freight train 🚂 may pass by and blow his whistle or the crickets seem to be louder out here. You'll hear wildlife: chipmunks fussing 🐿️, owls hooting 🦉, bullfrogs croaking 🐸, birds you've never heard before singing 🦤 and that may annoy some because it's too early or all night. It comes with its own squeaky floors and earthy tasting water but pure. There's bugs, spiders, or gnats 🦗🦟🕷️ around lights or mosquitos that you may have to slap. That's just nature saying hello. You're on a private glacial lake surrounded by 30 acres of Michigan woodland — the wildlife doesn't stop at the shoreline. The occasional field mouse looking for warmth, a critter passing through, something rustling in the night — they were here first, and they're part of what makes this place feel genuinely wild. There's no need for alarm; just show them the way outside. Guests who love nature embrace it. If you need spotless city living, New Buffalo has some great options with all the high-pressured steam showers you want. If you're ready to truly unplug, you're going to love it here. The cabins are pretty and remodeled, but still are rustic, vintage and charming and we wouldn't apologize for any of that. It's a cabin experience vs a newly remodeled home and this may not be for everyone. There's a few older windows and sliding doors don't glide and latch perfectly and some may be picky about that. We are about simple living, the outdoors and no frills. We hope all these quirks, country charms and rural living are your style and if they are you'll have a wonderful time like many of our adventurous guests. Furry friend policy. 🐶 ❤️ These are our homes and we have so much love, detail and pride keeping them super clean for everyone. Here’s some great news. We also love dogs. We have them ourselves and know that they are important members of our family but out of respect and courtesy for our cleaning service, neighbors, future guests and our cabin furniture we need to share the ground rules to make it a great stay with the entire family and we’d love you to help them become great repeat customers :) Plus, boarding dogs is expensive these days. To help curb all that, we have a $75 per pet, per stay requirement. And you may wonder why the list is so extensive? Yes, it’s because every one of these have happened. So here’s the ground rules. We’ll make it easy. And if some of these are not your cup of dog chow and not may be a good fit for this resort, we understand that too. ⛑Safety: first and foremost, we only allow safe pets that are friendly, non aggressive and vaccinated with a clean bill of health. Past reviews on your pet are asked for. Absolutely NO pets are allowed that have aggressive tendencies, have bitten anyone or cannot tolerate others or other pets, I’m sure you can understand, but they are forbidden and not invited to the resort. We also need to know the type of breed to share in case any other guests in the nearby property have pets. It’s very important to share that with us. We like to keep everyone safe, including deer and rabbits. 🥷🏼 No sneaking: Trying to sneak in a pet is forbidden and will be asked to leave the property immediately. It’s not just dishonest, it’s completely against our rules and willingness to allow pets at the resort. We will know if there are pets that don’t belong. Please be honest. ✌🏼Limit: The resort has a two dog limit per cabin due to control, management and respect of other guests on the property. Special exceptions can be made under certain circumstances if understood and discussed depending on breed and sizes. 🛋Furniture and Beds: our furniture and bedding are ONLY for humans. We understand how fun it is to sleep with them and have them join you on the couch and chairs at home. We know most guests are tempted to break this rule because no one will know. We however, do ask you to respect our home furniture and bedding and ask you to please keep them on the floor and off the furniture and off the unoccupied beds. If we do find pet hair on beds, furniture and places they shouldn’t be, we have to ask you to cover the $100 charge for cleaning or replacement costs. Thank you. 🙏🏼 💩💦Potty Trained: This is a biggie. All pets MUST BE housebroken. If your pet is prone having accidents please don’t bring them along. We’re sorry, this is to protect the floors, rugs and anything else you wouldn’t want to purchase due to an accident. Our home is your home but please treat our home like you do your home. Some males love to mark their territory in the house. That’s a no-no too. You will be responsible for any damage, staining, or smells that occur. If an accident were to occur, we expect you to immediately clean it up and THOROUGHLY! There’s a long line of guests behind you with sensitive noses. We’ll have cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink. Please tie all poopy bags and leave them in the trash bin outside the cabin. 💦Wet Dogs: Absolutely NO WET pets in the cabin. Please dry off your pooches with the towels you brought before they enter into the living spaces. Using bed linens, blankets, etc. are a huge no-no too. We’re sure you can understand what wet dogs can do to a home. Please towel off their paws. Dirty, wet or muddy dog prints are hard to get out of rugs and carpets. Unfortunately this is not a kennel. 🚫Run of property: Pets are not permitted to enter the waterfront near the boats or lily pads. They are not permitted to tear up dig or run over the landscaping either. They are totally welcome to enter at the beach area and swim till their heart’s content. 🙅🏽Boundaries: No fences - there’s a huge yard to roam and play. Great, but please keep them in it and with you LEASHED AT ALL times when other guests are around. No roaming to other people, other dogs, cabins and neighbors. They might not love dogs as much as we think they should. There's also a country road at the edge of the property that's dangerous for dogs as cars have access to it. Besides there’s stuff we don’t know outside of bounds like probably ticks and wild animals. Yikes! 🛖 Alone time: Absolutely NO, that means ZERO dogs left in the cabins alone at any time. You MUST crate them if you do. You will be responsible for any damage that is caused by leaving them alone. So important you help us with this and they’ll love the company. 💩Messes outside: Pick up the poop. It doesn’t smell so great when it tracks in the house and hard to dig out of sandals. Ew! 🦟 Insects: If your dog has fleas, ticks, bedbugs, or anything else attached please leave him at home. They are not welcome and we can’t have those kind of creatures in the cabins. 🛌Bedding/Towels: please bring your own towels and bedding for your furry friends. Using the cabin’s beach towels, blankets and bath towels is NOT permitted. Sorry about that. As much as we like to think dogs are humans we don’t wash them the same. Again, the $100 cleaning fee will be asked if these items have been used for a dog. 🎾Indoor behavior: Please no fetch or play in the cabin. Inside on floors and furniture that scratch are not for the indoors here. 🦮Shedding: If your dog sheds please be considerate to clean them up before you leave. Our staff is not hired to do this. You don’t have to put them all back on your pet because he let go of them for a reason. We left Dustbusters and vacuums in the cabins. The cleaning fee does not cover this. There will be an extra $50 required for cleaning up pet hair. If you want to save money, please grab them all. 😣Barking. We get it. It’s what dogs do. But consistent barking isn’t fun for anyone. We have neighbors around and a bark on the water travels fast so please help to manage the peace and quiet people came here for, including wildlife. 🐕🐈‍⬛Breeds: Not all dogs are created equal. While we don’t discriminate dogs of all kinds and sizes, big dogs and big dogs with a lot of energy need a special note here. We’ve had them and know what they can do to a house and what they can bring in. If you have a large breed or even a sporting breed we need you to manage them extra carefully. That includes managing the mud and sand tracked in, the scratching on doors and what they can do to furniture, the grass they can tear up and the local wildlife they hunt. You will be responsible for all the damage they cause. Please leash these guys, keep them on tethers and help us continue to have a dog policy for years to come. 🤚🏼Breeds: Sorry the resort is not allowed to host German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Staffordshire Terriers, Chows, Presa Canarios, Akitas, Rottweilers, Dobermans or mixed breeds of those. 💵Pet Fee: Again, we do have to charge a $75 pet fee, per pet through Airbnb as part of the policy and agreement with the cleaning services and it’s important. And if you love your pet as much as we think you do, we know it will be worth the investment. Dogs can chew chairs, tear up personal items, run through screen doors and all sorts of mischievous activities so if there’s extra damage or we have to do extra cleaning once those guys leave we have to have you cover for that separately. 🦴Doggie Bed: Oh and we have a nice big doggie bed, and stainless steel doggie bowls for food and water if you’d like to use. The rest you have to fill yourself ;) please leave the doggie bed inside the house not outside for the rain or move it into the yard. Don’t forget to bring your furry friend’s food and, bedding, towels and toys. 👍🏼 🦟Bugs: We’ve had our own dogs here, and they picked up fleas and ticks. It’s inevitable. We take great care to have the grounds taken care of, but there are some that come in through the woods and want a free ride on your pet. You might want to consider bringing a flea and tick collar to protect your little guys. 💕Sharing the Love: lastly, there’s an occasionally occupied cabin next door the yard is shared with. They may have dogs too or no dogs at all. Please, please manage your dogs and respect their privacy as much as they should respect yours. - Oh sorry. No cats. And no offense.
