No smoking, fireworks or events. The rental agreement must be signed within three days of your booking approval, and a copy of your ID must be sent to us. 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 move you to another location and agreed increase of rental rate can be determined. The initial rental rate 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, 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. Thank you.

Overall generally misleading listing. First off, for non-locals it's in Alto, not Grand Rapids. The seller either by mistake or intention uses a Grand Rapids address on the VRBO listing. Just two adults, showed up and found out there was an additional deposit (fair, but unexpected, better have Venmo) and an additional cleaning fee on top of the one charged on VRBO....not sure what they used the last one for because there was trash all over the place and the pool wasn't clean. Oh, the pool. It's not the one in the pictures. That one is somewhere not on the property, I think it's from the Grand Rapids YMCA but the instructions weren't very clear and the property manager didn't seem to know. The pool you get is an above ground 36 incher....i think, it might belong to the RV parked by the garage, hard to tell. The swim spa is there, but you wouldn't know it from the angle of the picture it's on the neighbor house's driveway. It's apparently still for use, but after you book you'll get a "guide" that tells you it's free IF they get a 5 star review, otherwise it's $25 per hour to use. The game room is a gem though, if you like squirrels. Probably most of the empty beer bottles and cigarette butts were from them and not the last tenants, and if you really want that wildlife experience you can sleep in the extra bed out there(really wish VRBO would let me post pictures). For a less outdoorsy experience you could sleep inside, just hope that pool noodle covering the hole under the door is secure enough to keep adventurous racoons out. Luckily the duct tape on the wall in the bedroom will probably hold. Would highly suggest bringing your own linens, and maybe one of those hand vacuums to clean off the beds first. Final straw was turning on the furnace and getting a very strong smell of gas....I was there for about an hour and a half. To be fair it's in a lovely neighborhood, and upon reporting the gas smell we were offered alternative accomodations, but at that point I didn't trust what those might be so we declined them. Place has tons of potential, but before booking I'd just ask for the Welcome Guide they send to vacationers so you can look it over prior to making any quick decisions like we did.

It is an old quaint cottage right on the lake and on a cul-de-sac!
The managing group is very helpful and really helped us out when I made a mistake on dates! Great place for dogs and family
to all meet.

It gives me little pleasure writing a bad review, but there is a lot of comments I could make. I tried my best to come to an amicable solution with Frank but he is often slow to respond and difficult to deal with. The photos in the listing include images of numerous other properties, some neighbouring, some I was unable to find. The cottage I booked was filled with mouse droppings, especially in the kitchen cupboards around the dishes - Frank's response was that this is normal for cottages but I would have to disagree. The last straw was when the water from all faucets cut out intermittently the morning after we checked in. Frank was helpful in sending someone to look at it (although delayed and begrudgingly) but we had already packed up to leave. The maintenance guy was not able to replicate the issue by running the water for a few minutes, but I am confident that it will happen to others. When renting a cottage, you certainly shouldn't expect the same luxurious experience as a resort, but this was below reasonable health and safety requirements. Rent at your own risk!
