Welcome to the NHWA, Great Lakes Cottage Watch of Elk Rapids, MI!

Great Lakes Cottage Watch of Elk Rapids, Michigan, has earned accreditation for its Home Watch services from the NHWA.

Doug VanCura is a founding partner of Great Lakes Cottage Watch, a home services company specializing in Home Watch, home management, and concierge care for remotely owned or part-time residences. Doug started the home services company because of a personal need to find a trusted service provider to manage a vacation home in Michigan, before moving there and being unsuccessful.

Before establishing his company, Doug was a telecommunications professional and executive specializing in both engineering and customer service for many years. He is also a certified home inspector, a member of Rotary International in Elk Rapids, Michigan, and has served as the chairman of the Elk Rapids Downtown Development Authority.  As a strong advocate for protecting the local area's beauty, Doug is a member/sponsor of the Torch Lake Protection Alliance and the Elk/Skegemog Lakes Association.

Doug’s downtime is spent with Bohdan, his Great Dane, woodworking, and touring the country by motorcycle.
