Vacation Home Property Management Services

COVID-19
 
Your health, welfare, and safety are paramount when you stay at a Collins Lake Resort. Noting that the news is dominated by Coronavirus, we wanted to personally reach out and let you know that we have implemented increased cleaning protocols and processes.

We are closely monitoring the guidance of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the spread of the virus. Our focus is to ensure we meet our guest's needs while doing our part to keep you, our associates, and our communities safe.

Here are some highlights:
We have enhanced techniques used to clean homes before and after each stay. We are paying particular attention to high touch point areas including but not limited to keys, elevator doors, and buttons, door handles, locks and latches, light switches, surfaces, telephones, television remote controls, bathroom fixture handles, handrails and so forth. We are also using cleaning solutions that are EPA approved to be effective against COVID-19 as well as harder to kill viruses. Additionally, we have heightened sanitizing attention to their common areas, such as the front desk, service items, fitness center equipment, and common areas.

In addition, we are taking steps to ensure the welfare of our associates. This includes:
If they are not feeling well or an immediate family member is not feeling well, we ask that they stay home to avoid passing it to others.
Keep their hands clean and wash their hands properly. We ask that they use hand sanitizer whenever possible.  
Regularly wiping down and sanitizing their workspace.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle (proper diet, sleep, and exercise) to help keep their immune system strong.
Importantly, if they have flu-like symptoms, they are advised to consult a doctor and seek medical care.
We understand your travels may have been interrupted by COVID-19 through no fault of yours. You are our loyal customer and we appreciate your business. If you have an existing reservation, we look forward to seeing you and want to reassure you that we are taking every precaution to promote a safe and healthy environment.

Your health and well-being are our highest priority now and always when you choose to stay with the official Collins Lake Resort®. If you have any questions, concerns or require additional information regarding the above, please do not hesitate to reach out to a team member at any time. Thank you for your continued business.

Sincerely,

Hood Skibowl and can offer their products to our renters for a great discount.  We also have partnerships with the area’s other ski areas for discount lift tickets.

Homeowner Experience

"My husband and I bought our condo on a whim a few years ago, inspired while staying in a rental there. It has turned out to be a terrific choice for us for many reasons, but mainly because of the ease of caring for a second home. We have been part of the property management services from the get-go, primarily because we didn't want another place to be a lot of work. We want to play when we are there! The staff at Collins Lake has been nothing short of professional, helpful, friendly, and on our side. While we were getting our place ready to join the rental pool, they helped us whenever we asked. And by far the biggest benefit is when we leave, someone else will clean and prepare for renters, and when we return, we find our place in immaculate condition. The simplicity of all this is amazing, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks so much to the fabulous staff at Collins Lake. You have made us feel welcome and a part of the Govy/Mt. Hood community."
