Rules & Amenities at Yiayia's Cottage

You are our guests, but unfortunately, accidents can happen. As a precaution, we require a security deposit to cover the cost of any unforseen damages. If damage is done to the property during your stay, you are responsible for the entire cost of the repair or replacement in question.

Security deposits are a standard part of rental agreements in Michigan. By accepting the terms of the agreement, you therefore agree to pay for any necessary repairs or replacements for which you or your guests are at fault. We will automatically draw from the deposit to cover such costs.

After you check out, our cleaning company immediately enters to service the accomodations and wash all bedding in order to prepare for the next renters.

Cleaning company rates have gone up and we are forced to pass this rate on to our renters. Guests should also be aware that Yiayia's does not have an arrangement with a daily maid service in Michigan. Therefore, guests are responsible for keeping the space tidy for their personal comfort during the rental period.

While we provide linen for your beds and towels for your use, we do not offer toiletries on site. Please bring your own soaps, shampoos, conditioners, shaving supplies, and any other toiletries you require during your stay.

In true Greek fashion, someone is always cooking in our house. We want you to enjoy preparing meals in our kitchen as if it were your own, which is why we have supplied a variety of cooking and dining necessities. Please inform us if there is something that you would like to see added.

At Yiayia's Cottage, trash removal takes place every Thursday morning. Guests are responsible for moving the trash bins to the curb side on Wednesday evening so that we can maintain a clean, comfortable property for all of our renters.

If you should leave the cottage during the time of your stay or upon checkout, please make sure all thermostats are set to 55 degrees. This is especially important during the winter months.
