We realize having a vacation home entails a lot of work.  We created ‘At The Lake Concierge’ to meet the needs of Lake House owners in Northeastern Indiana.  We take the worry and hassle out of owning a Lake House by giving you and your home the best service and care available.  Let us do the work so you can enjoy yourself when you are at the lake, and have peace of mind when you are not.

‘At The Lake Concierge’ focuses on 4 major areas that take away from enjoying your time at the lake:

• Pre-Arrival: Setting up; doing all those tasks that need to be done when you arrive at the Lake House.  Cleaning and “opening up” should not be the first things you have to do on your vacation. Services included are: interior cleaning, getting the bedrooms ready, turning on the water, setting up patio furniture, etc.
• Post-Departure: Closing down the house when you leave.  It can take several hours to clean and do the laundry at the end of your stay, time you should be spending with each other.  We take care of everything that goes into closing down your Lake House.  Included: linen services, trash/recycling services, doors and windows checks, final cleaning, etc.
• Stock the fridge: You have to feed your family and guests while you’re there, but it is a hassle to head to the store right before you travel to the lake; then you have to pack them in the car, worry about perishables, and put them all away once you arrive.  Or you have to head to the store once you get to the lake and waste your time there.  We’ve got you covered.   Your groceries will be purchased and put away by the time you get there.
• House Checks: All those weeks and months you are away.  Your Lake House requires maintenance and upkeep throughout the year, and other times you just want to check on the house to make sure everything is safe and secure.  There’s no reason to make a long round trip drive to meet these needs; let us do it for you.  Full interior and exterior inspections provided, plus Severe Weather checks.

Have additional Lake House needs: just ask us. We will work to fulfil any request you have to make your vacation home more enjoyable and relaxing!

Sediment Removal Update

On Tuesday January 27, 2015 a meeting was held with the D.N.R., Pretty Lake Conservation board and our sediment removal contractor (All Things Water).  We began by reviewing the work that had been done in 2014.  The purpose of the meeting was to establish a working plan for 2015 that we all would agree was attainable.  The contractor informed us about equipment he would be using this year and that he would be installing a gravel road on the Miller farm to prevent problems of getting the dump trucks stuck.  He also told us a company in Fort Wayne (E.R.S.) will be doing the trucking of sediment.  All these things will be at his expense.  The contractor will also restore the land area where they have been working.  This will be done to the land owner’s satisfaction.  Based on Indiana state conservation laws, sediment removal cannot be done between January and June 30. This is due to reproduction of aquatic life.  Therefore our removal process will start in the first week of July 2015.  The projected completion date is the end of August.  This time period has multiple weeks added for possible weather delays.  Those residents that have piers in the sediment removal area can install them in the spring and the contractor will remove and reinstall them as they move from one place to another.  If they need a place to dock their boats for two or three days we suggest they ask a neighbor or friend on the lake.  If you cannot find a place contact your zone director for help.  We have asked the contractor to finish the public access last.  We also want to thank you for your patience in getting this project completed.  This sediment removal will improve the quality of our lake for all of us that enjoy one of the best lakes in Indiana. Thank You…
