Cleaning for Alanson Cottages and Boating-Season Homes
Alanson is a boating town. When the locks open in spring, cottages on Crooked Lake, Burt Lake and the river fill up, and many of them sit empty again once the season winds down in late October.
We do opening cleans before you arrive, keep homes on a weekly or every-other-week schedule while you are here, and do a thorough closing clean in the fall. For rentals, we turn the place over between guests with fresh linens, kitchens and bathrooms reset and a report of anything that needs attention.
