 There is a view from every room in the home. The Kitchen, Great Room, Master Bedroom and both Guest Rooms all overlook beautiful Green Lake.

This home is cooled and heated by a geo thermal furnace, it is very comfortable, warm and cozy, even though the rooms are large. The layout allows plenty of privacy for couples or families that share the home.  You will relax and soak in the peace and quiet...and never want to leave.

This is a close up of the front entry door.  I decided early in the project that I wanted to hand carve the door of our home myself.  In case you can't tell, it is a high relief carving of two foxes. The door is rustic Alder.  A fun and fascinating project! It was a challenge I really enjoyed.

Pets

We are great pet lovers.  In fact you won't find bigger dog lovers than us!!! Regretfully we do not allow pets to stay in the home. If you are a client of Shores Kennels, we will board your pet at no charge while you stay at the home! If you bring your pet into town, there is a boarding kennel on 131 between Leonard Road and Elder Road.  Mancelona Veterinary Hospital has very nice facilities for your pet. 


Kitchen Facilities

There is a table and seating for 8.  The edges of the table fold up for a huge round table.  The additional chairs are around the island. We request that dining be done in the kitchen.  Especially children who may spill!  We ask that you take great care when consuming beverages that may stain if spilled. 

Should an accidental spill occur. There are cleaning products under the sink that will help remove stains.

You are welcome to use anything in the kitchen.  If you use any of the condiments we request you restock.

Please clean all areas promptly and according to instructions.

Please dispose of all food stuff that you will not be using.  You must take all trash out to the Leonard Road exit and put in the trash container.  Do Not put trash bags outdoors.  There are wild animals that WILL forage through the trash and make a mess.

Linens

Prior to your arrival all bedding that has been placed on the beds and it is fresh.  We request that you strip all bedding and towels and put in the laundry facilities for the cleaning crew to launder and replace.  So please leave behind any towels belonging in the home, linens, blankets, throws, pillows and any other items that have been provided for your comfort or convenience, are not mementos of your stay. Any missing items will be charged to your account.

If you leave behind items you will be contacted for instructions on how we get them returned to you.

Entertainment

The television is easy to operate, there is a manual with instructions on which remotes do what.

We do have subscription Satellite TV service through Dish Network. You cannot get PPV movies. For those of you who need to access the internet, if you have wireless access on a personal laptop it works pretty well, we have a pretty good signal through AT&T. Cell phone service with that carrier is also pretty good. Some times are better than others.

You may also access the internet with your ISP in town at the coffee shop on the corner it has wireless internet and is less than 5 minutes away...the ride over might be faster than waiting for mail to upload. You may find it a wonderful respite from the hustle and bustle of home NOT to visit work online, but if you need a real quick connection that is the place to go.  I am exploring options...

Telephone

There is a land line to the home. There is no long distance service. You will have to make any long distance calls through your cellular service provider.
