THE MVG BOOK

The MVG book is "…one of precious few publications detailing rental properties statewide." (Dennis Tanner, Booth Newspapers Travel Correspondent). Indeed, it is the most comprehensive book of its kind and has been recognized by travel writers and newspapers across Michigan, including the "Detroit Free Press", "Oakland Press", "Flint Journal", "Grand Rapids Press", to name a few. Over the years we have developed a strong following with an estimated readership over 100,000 and growing.

Our property owner's must maintain a committed focus on guest comfort and meet a high level of standards and code of ethics. Members are permitted a free, 50-word description with optional low-cost description enhancements (i.e., extra wording, use of photographs, etc.) if requested. For enhancement options see our Application Form.

Your listing in the MVG book presents a unique and lasting opportunity. Unlike a newspaper or magazine, which are frequently thrown out after a few days, readers hold on to a book. In fact, our past surveys tell us MVG readers' hold on to our guide for extended periods, sometimes years, and will frequently share it with friends and family. Libraries also hold on to it for many years adding new editions to their collection.

There is a one-time-only $20.00 application fee (this on-time fee will be waived if you take advantage of our Internet listing services at www.MiVG.com). After that, with each new edition, a 50-word description is FREE to our qualified property owners.
