Security Camera Information:

Your safety matters. There are security cameras of exterior areas monitored to ensure your safety. They do not look into any interior spaces. Please be advised that if during surveillance of the exterior areas' malicious activity or destructive behavior is observed the security company will contact the owners and they will contact you immediately. Please make sure that your guests are not perpetrators of any sort of destruction to the premises. We expect that our guests will treat our property as if it were their own. If we are made aware this is not the case, do not be surprised if you receive an immediate call from us.

NEIGHBORHOOD QUIET HOURS:

Slice of Heaven is located in a very private secluded beachfront neighborhood. It is serene and tranquil, truly a heaven on earth setting for your enjoyment! Please have fun but be conscientious guests and help maintain this quiet peaceful environment throughout your stay. We don't want to jeopardize the great neighborhood relationships we've built and appreciate your help by keeping noise to a minimum especially during the overnight hours from 10pm - 8am. Noise travels very easily across the lake, campfire conversations are easily heard miles away.

Parking Instructions:

3-4 vehicles can be parked in the driveway, please avoid parking in the private roadway. Slice of Heaven is located at the end of the road, there is no drive-by traffic and ample parking for all guests. Guests that prefer not traversing down steps, the base of the driveway provides easy access to park a vehicle adjacent to the beachfront area.

Coffee: Complimentary k-cups are provided for your first few brews the first morning!
We provide coffee filters, cream & sugar with a Keurig combo coffee pot+(k-cup) coffee maker in the main house kitchen for your use. You'll need to bring your own grinder/beans or ground coffee to make pots of coffee for your stay. There are a couple Thermos Pump Coffee dispensers to have multiple pots of coffee accessible for your guests. Please be sure to clean them out after each use, thanks!

Firewood: We supply a starter supply, batch of dry firewood, along with fire starter bricks and lighters for your first nights fire-pit enjoyment! There's nothing better than gathering around the fire-pit to enjoy friend and family in Northern Michigan. If we're able to stock additional bundles, they will be available for purchase (see signage) and stored in the metal container located on the beach beyond the fire-pit area. If your plans include having multiple nightly fires for extended hours each night, there are many sources to purchase additional firewood bundles in the local area, if needed. Be sure to keep your eye out for roadside, grocery and gas station stands in route to the property. Be sure all fireside chats and activity remain quiet after 10pm to avoid disturbing neighbors nearby that may have their windows open. Note, fireside conversations travel across the lake, too! Also, always practice proper fire safety protocol, never leave the fire unattended, be extra cautious around the fire-pit especially with kids.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, cutlery, cooking/baking, storage & serving dishes, plastic ware, drinking, wine, cocktail glasses. Small electrical appliances, skillet, toaster, blender, mixer, crock pot, waffle maker are also in kitchen cupboards.

Spices (and salt & pepper) can be found in the cupboards. Paper products for kitchen and bathrooms are provided as well as trash bags. Other kitchen items like plastic wrap, tin foil and plastic storage bags, may be available for your use if left by previous guests, so add these to your checklist items to bring, in case they are needed.

Pillows, linens & blankets:
These are provided, each room will have towels laid out for each guest's use during the stay. Extra pillows and blankets can be found in the closets of each bedroom.

Spa Robes, Crocs &  Beach Towels:
These are provided for your use during the stay and should not be taken off the property. Plan to bring your own beach towels & equipment if you're planning a day trip away from the cottage.
