Cottage Home Watch in Les Cheneaux Islands, MI

We regularly watch over cottages and second homes throughout Les Cheneaux Islands: routine checks, storm response, opening and closing, and photo reports every visit. See all of the Eastern UP →

Complete cottage care, so you do not have to worry.

Whether your place sits empty all winter or just between visits, we are your eyes on the property.

Routine Home Watch

Scheduled interior & exterior checks for leaks, pests, power/heat loss and security, with a photo report after every visit.

Storm & Freeze Checks

Extra visits after big storms and deep cold snaps to catch roof, water and freeze damage fast.

Opening & Closing

Spring opening and fall winterizing: water on/off, faucets, seasonal setup and shutdown.

Key-Holding & Access

We hold a key and meet deliveries, cleaners and contractors so you do not drive up to let someone in.

Contractor Supervision

Getting work done remotely? We meet and check on your contractors so the job gets done right.

Concierge Extras

Arrival prep, firewood, lawn/snow coordination and more, tailored to your cottage.

Winter is when cottages fail.

A single frozen pipe can dump water for weeks and cause $10,000+ in damage before spring. Empty homes are also a target for break-ins and go unnoticed after storms. Do not wait for the first hard freeze.
