How to Book your Weekend Getaway.....

Check Availability 1 of 3 ways:

1.  Complete online form below and Kimberly will get back with you via method of your preference. 

2. Email Kimberly directly at scrapbookweekends@live.com We can confirm your date and number in your party together at this time.  If link above does not work from your computer, you can cut and paste it into your email server.

3. Call 586-412-0904. If you get the answering machine, please press 4 to enter the mailbox. Leave a clear message and speak slowly.  Kimberly will return your call within the week in the evening hours. 

We're new and want you to give us a try.   We've done our homework and we GUARANTEE you will find our rates are lower than any other comparable competitor in Michigan.  If there is a competitor out there that has a lower rate than us, please let us know and we will honor their rate provided their weekend is comparable to ours and their weekend is available.  

Securing Reservations: There is a $100 non-refundable deposit (per person) required to secure your reservation.  You may make a full payment at time of booking if you do not want to make a final payment at a later date. Reservations may be forfeited to guests on the waiting list if balance due is not paid 30 days prior to your arrival date. To secure your booking, final payment must be received by this due date.  Final payment must clear no later than 14 days to arrival. Late payments must be paid in cash only at time of arrival.

Private Reservations:
 If you have a group larger than 8, please call as special arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis.  The retreat could accommodate 12 scrappers but there are certain arrangements we need to discuss.  This would only be available to a party who is booking the entire lake house as a private weekend. Groups are encouraged to send all $100 deposits (per person) and registration forms (signed and completed by each guest) in one envelope.  This will ensure your party has met the minimum guest requirement and the lake home remains private to your group only.

Rates: 2010 season rates are $240.00 per person. This cost is for your entire all-inclusive weekend. This price includes comfortable lodging, linens and towels, needed toiletries, unlimited beverages, endless snacks, fresh desserts, 5 prepared meals and our Signature Hostess Welcome Hour of wine and cheese (and more!), 24 hour use of crop room and tools.  There are other little "things" offered during your weekend. We no longer post these unique ideas here as competitors are mimicking our original ideas such as the wine and cheese hour.  Since we want your experience to be truly exceptional (and unique), we'll keep a few secrets until you arrive at the lake house!

Again, we challenge you to compare our rates to any competitor in Michigan.  We intend to offer you a weekend that will make you want to return year after year.   We are very dedicated to you having a great time!

Policies

Guaranteed Reservations: There is a $100 non-refundable/non-transferrable deposit (per person) required to secure your reservation.  Reservations may be forfeited to guests on the waiting list if balance due is not paid 30 days prior to your arrival date. To secure your booking and avoid loss of deposit, final payment must be received by this due date.  Each guest is responsible for making final payment. We cannot hold a reservation for a guest who is part of a larger party.  We will guarantee your reservation provided payment is made. This policy is in place so guests on the waiting list have time to make arrangements to attend.
We encourage large groups to send in FULL payment together at time of booking in one envelope. This ensures everyone is paid and will be participating and your  weekend is 100% secured.

Guests may transfer their paid-in-full weekend to a friend without penalty at any time.  You may also call us in case we are able to fill your spot. A $50 processing fee will be charged for a successful booking of your room and table. As well as, issuing you a check refund of any balance remaining .

How did you hear about us?:

Check In/Out

Check In: Arrival begins at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.  Please do not arrive sooner as we cannot accommodate you prior to 5 p.m. We make every attempt to give each vehicle front door service and a helping hand with their belongings.  We may ask you move your vehicle to the designated parking areas once you have unloaded your belongings if many other parties will be arriving seperately. We have more than enough parking on the premises. Carpooling is a lot of fun and encouraged.

Check Out: Room check out is at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday so housekeeping can begin.  This is to ensure no personal belongings have been left in the bedrooms or bathrooms. However, you may continue to crop up until 2:00 p.m. in the crop room.  Please have your scrapping supplies packed out of the crop room and be saying your good-bye's by this checkout time.  

Please drive safely on your way home to your hubby (or special guy) and kids!

Happiness Policy

 

Smoking:  For the health and comfort of each guest, the retreat must remain smoke-free.  A scenic view of the lake with comfortable seating is provided for smokers outside on our large decks.

Hard Working Hostess Guarantee: We strive to do our utmost to ensure you have a happy scrapping weekend. However, we and other guests are all human which makes us unique and open to mistakes.  We ask you speak to the hostess if you are having a problem with anything/anyone at the time it occurs.  It makes it very hard to fix a problem if you inform us after your visit.  We want to make your stay as perfect as possible from the comfort of your bed, the temperature of the room, to the sweetness of your treats.  We have an "open door" policy at all times so please, please, please speak with the hostess so we can make our greatest attempt to keep you happy and comfortable.  We strive to build relationships.  We want you happy so you will come back again and again.  Let us know how we can make it better!
