Vacation rental turnover cleaning in Northern Michigan

How this service is run

STR / Airbnb / VRBO

Short-term rentals in this corridor fail reviews on the boring stuff: hair in a drain, a sticky fridge handle, sheets that still smell like the last weekend. Turnover cleaning is a checklist built for that, not a slower version of a family house clean.

We work to your checkout window when the calendar allows. Same-day Airbnb cleaning is possible; it is not automatic. If two cottages turn at 11 a.m. on the same Saturday, we need that on the books early and we need a plan for linens.

Duplicate sheet and towel sets plus our full service laundry are how hosts avoid a laundromat run between guests. Wash, treat stains, fold, and bring the next set with the crew. Loads are $18 — less than feeding a row of coin machines after a late checkout.

Property managers with more than one unit use the Customer Portal to see appointments and invoices instead of texting three cleaners. Lockbox codes and “hot tub cover / extra bunk” notes stay with the job.

Who it is for

Airbnb, VRBO, and cottage hosts on Burt Lake, Mullett Lake, and in town
Property managers who need one company across several addresses
Owners who split time downstate and cannot be there at 11 a.m.

How to prepare

Put the real checkout time in the booking, not the listing buffer
Share lockbox or local-contact details in the notes
Say whether linens go offsite or stay in the house machines
Flag extra refrigerators, bunk rooms, and outdoor showers

We built full service laundry and the portal because stacked Saturday turnovers are normal here. We will decline a same-day request rather than send a tired crew into a five-hour job with two hours on the clock.

Dishes and a reset sink when you ask for it on that visit
Linen change and beds made with the sets you leave out — or the duplicate sets we bring back
Pet-hair pass on furniture and floors (we are not a groomer; this is extra vacuum time)
A real tidy-up of toys, mail piles, and couch clutter before the clean starts
Hand-wipe of marked walls and door kicks — not a full paint-prep wash
Grout and tile extra dwell in the worst bath or entry
Blind wipe, priced per blind so a lake-house wall of slats does not surprise the quote
Interior window glass and sills, priced per pane
Screens washed when they come out without a fight
Front entry, porch, or deck sweep so sand does not walk back in

Oven interior, fridge interior, or both

FAQ

Questions about Vacation rental turnover cleaning

Can hosts pick their own checkout times?

Yes. The Customer Portal lets Airbnb and Vrbo hosts set checkout dates and times in bulk instead of texting the office.

Do you guarantee same-day turns?

When the calendar and drive time allow. Two 11 a.m. cottages on opposite lakes need to be on the books early.

What about linens?

On-site machines or our 8-machine offsite shop. Most hosts keep two sets. Offsite loads are $18.
