You've been away. Somewhere on the drive north, the weight starts to lift — not because you're almost there, but because you already know what you'll find.
The same two people. Every visit. All year. Limited to 12 homes.
Text Us to Learn MoreWe'll answer every question honestly — even if the answer is no.
While you're living your life downstate, your Northern Michigan retreat holds its breath. Small, quiet changes unfold — a thermostat drifting, a slow drip forming behind a wall, a package sitting visible on the porch. None are crises yet.
Left alone, they become expensive ones. The difference between a $200 fix and a $20,000 repair is usually just time. And time is exactly what an empty home runs out of.
Selena and Dalton return every two weeks as your personal stewards — the same two people, every time. We learn your home's character, its rhythms, its quiet language. We notice when something changes, because we know what normal looks like.
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and high-touch surfaces maintained every two weeks. Consistent care that keeps your home fresh and welcoming — every single time you walk through the door.
Water systems, HVAC, security, pests, odors — a systematic protocol every single visit. We know what normal looks and sounds like for your home. We notice immediately when something isn't right.
Monthly FLIR thermal scans September through May detect heat loss, hidden moisture behind walls, and electrical hot spots long before they become visible — or expensive — damage.
Regular starts, tire pressure monitoring, rodent inspections, and dashboard checks for up to 2 vehicles. Your cars are road-ready the same moment your home is.
After ice storms, heavy snow, or high winds — just text us. We assess your property and send you a full photo report. No additional charge. No waiting. No wondering.
Every visit ends with a timestamped report and photos to your private Google Drive. Insurance-quality records from day one — proof your home was actively cared for, going back years.
Selena and Dalton handle every single visit personally. You're not trusting a company — you're trusting two specific people who chose to build this together. That is a fundamentally different relationship.
We know your home. Which radiator runs warm. How your basement smells when everything is fine. After months of visits, we notice change — because we know exactly what normal looks like for your specific property.
Most seasonal homeowners unknowingly manage two relationships — a cleaning company and a home watch service. Two contracts, two schedules, two gaps where things slip. We eliminate all of it.
We cap at 12 homes — not because we have to, but because it's the only way to keep the promise we make. Your property is never competing for our attention. You always have all of it.
Founding member rate — next tier is $850/month
One predictable invoice. No surprise charges within scope. Cancel with 30 days notice.
Great Lakes Stewardship is built for seasonal homeowners who think long-term — who understand that prevention costs less than repair, and that the right team is worth more than the cheapest option. If that's you, we'd love to have an honest conversation. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
Text Us — Let's Find OutWe are Selena and Dalton McNeely — a husband and wife team based in Petoskey. We built Great Lakes Stewardship because we genuinely love caring for homes and the people who trust us with them.
No employees. No rotating staff. No strangers in your home. The same two people, every visit, all year. We learn how your home sounds, smells, and behaves when everything is right — which means we notice when something isn't.
We're not a company you manage. We're a partnership that runs quietly in the background — so your home is always ready when you are.
We keep our membership to 12 homes so every client gets our full attention. Text us, tell us about your property, and we'll have an honest conversation about whether this is the right fit.
