Life on Arrival was designed for homeowners who want their property to feel effortlessly prepared the moment they arrive without managing the details themselves. We specialize in creating seamless transitions into home life, whether after time away or ahead of weekends, holidays, and special occasions.

Founded by Melissa Rimas, a local in the Walloon Lake community, Life on Arrival is built on firsthand understanding of seasonal living, second homes, and the quiet, behind-the-scenes work required to make arrivals feel truly effortless. From opening a home after months away to ensuring it is thoughtfully prepared for each visit, we handle what most owners don’t have the time, or desire, to manage.

This is not property management. Life on Arrival is a private concierge and property oversight service designed specifically for second home and seasonal property owners who expect their home to be fully prepared, carefully maintained, and consistently cared for. We exist to eliminate the stress, uncertainty, and time-consuming responsibilities that come with owning a home from afar.

We serve as your trusted local representative, overseeing your property, coordinating services, and ensuring every detail is aligned before you arrive. Our approach is proactive, detail-driven, and highly personalized because no two homes, and no two owners, are the same.

Discretion, consistency, and clear communication are foundational to everything we do. To uphold these standards, Life on Arrival intentionally accepts a limited number of homes, allowing us to provide focused attention and exceptional care. Our goal is simple: when you arrive, everything is ready, so your time can be spent enjoying it.
