Terms Of Use

Effective Date: August 10, 2026

Welcome to the Shoestring Resort website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

Website Information

The information provided on this website is intended to help visitors learn more about Shoestring Resort, our cottages, amenities, location, and accommodations.

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current. However, information may change from time to time, and we do not guarantee that all descriptions, photographs, rates, amenities, or other website content will always be completely current or error-free.

Cottage Availability

Cottages shown on this website are not guaranteed to be available for any particular date or length of stay.

Availability may change at any time and may not be reflected immediately on the website.

Please call Shoestring Resort directly to confirm current cottage availability and discuss your stay.

A cottage is not considered reserved simply because it appears available or is displayed on this website.

A reservation is only confirmed after availability has been verified directly with Shoestring Resort and any applicable reservation arrangements have been completed.

Rates and Pricing

Rates, fees, minimum-stay requirements, and other accommodation terms may change.

Any pricing shown on the website is intended to reflect current rates but should be confirmed directly with Shoestring Resort when arranging your stay.

Applicable taxes, fees, deposits, or other charges will be communicated as required before a reservation or payment is finalized.

Cottage Descriptions and Photographs

Photographs and descriptions are provided to give visitors a reasonable representation of the property and accommodations.

Individual cottages, furnishings, décor, outdoor conditions, landscaping, amenities, or other features may change over time and may differ somewhat from photographs shown on the website.

Images should therefore be considered representative rather than a guarantee that every feature will remain exactly as pictured.

Amenities

Amenities listed on the website are subject to availability, maintenance, seasonal conditions, weather, and other circumstances.

Shoestring Resort cannot guarantee that every amenity will be available or operational at all times during a guest's stay.

If a particular amenity is important to your stay, please contact us before making your reservation to confirm its current availability.

Local Attractions and Third-Party Information

The website may provide information or links concerning restaurants, attractions, parks, businesses, events, or other destinations in the Traverse City area.

This information is provided as a convenience to visitors.

Shoestring Resort does not operate or control these third-party businesses or destinations and is not responsible for their hours, prices, availability, services, policies, accuracy of information, or changes to their operations.

Visitors should confirm current information directly with the applicable organization before visiting.

External Links

This website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

Shoestring Resort is not responsible for the content, availability, security, accessibility, or privacy practices of third-party websites. Visiting an external website is at the visitor's own discretion and is subject to that website's own terms and policies.

Appropriate Use of the Website

Visitors may use this website for lawful, personal purposes related to learning about Shoestring Resort and its accommodations.

You may not intentionally interfere with the operation or security of the website, attempt unauthorized access to the website or associated systems, introduce malicious software, or use website content for unlawful purposes.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the text, branding, graphics, photographs, layout, and other original content appearing on this website are owned by or used with permission by Shoestring Resort.

Website content may be viewed and used for personal, noncommercial purposes.

Content may not be reproduced, distributed, republished, or commercially used without appropriate permission, except as allowed by applicable law.

Website Availability

We do not guarantee that this website will always be available without interruption.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, updates, service interruptions, or circumstances beyond our control.

Limitation of Website Information

Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes.

Decisions regarding travel, reservations, local activities, weather conditions, road conditions, or other matters should not rely exclusively on information appearing on this website.

Visitors are encouraged to confirm information that is important to their travel plans before making arrangements.

Accessibility

Shoestring Resort wants its website and information to be accessible to visitors.

If you experience difficulty accessing information on this website or need assistance obtaining information about our accommodations, please contact Shoestring Resort by phone so that we can assist you.

Privacy

Use of this website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how website analytics and related technologies may be used.

Changes to These Terms

Shoestring Resort may update these Terms of Use periodically as the website, accommodations, services, or applicable requirements change.

Any revised Terms of Use will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the applicable laws of the State of Michigan and the United States.
