SO YOU CAN Unwind

Growing up on a lake is special. The founders of Weiss Lake Concierge (WLC), Jay and Tonya Howell, remember the wonderful memories made with family and friends while growing up at the lake. After retirement, the couple moved back to Cherokee County and started the next chapter of their lives.

Tonya recalls, “Growing up, my family had a place on Lake Martin. When we would go for the weekend, it seemed like we would lose time doing all the preparation - buying groceries, doing yard work, and everything we needed for our stay. In today’s fast-paced world, we thought a “concierge service” would allow everyone with a home on Weiss Lake to enjoy their time there.”

The innovative business model helps homeowners get right to relaxation and memory-making. WLC has various service levels, including property management, vacation rentals, and real estate services on Weiss Lake. For clients who opt for property management, the company takes care of the entire home, including grocery pick-up and delivery services, housekeeping, lawn and land maintenance, pest control, and other maintenance needs. They can even make sure your watercraft is ready to go. Every client is able to customize their plan to fit their needs. “My favorite thing about our business is giving homeowners time to spend with their family and friends,” said Jay. In addition, most owners are not local, so they appreciate having someone nearby to care for their homes.

After a short time, many clients were interested in Tonya and Jay listing their properties as vacation getaways. The company specializes in lakefront properties ranging from quaint cottages to luxury homes. The available properties are featured on their website (wlcal.com), VRBO, Airbnb, and Expedia. As a native of Cherokee County, Jay especially enjoys sharing the beauty of Weiss and the surrounding area. Guests appreciate the services the WLC team provides and the local insight they offer.

The couple is honored to serve their clients and strive to fulfill the motto of Weiss Lake Concierge, “Your pleasure is our business.” Tonya says, “We are blessed to have the opportunity to help make someone else’s life a little easier, and we do not take that responsibility lightly.”

The couple is happy to call Cherokee County home. While Jay grew up here, he spent most of his career as a state trooper away from the area. He is very active in the community and serves on several boards, including Atrium Health, the 9-1-1 board, and on the Centre City Council. Tonya grew up on Lake Martin. She retired as the Director of Marketing for the State of Alabama. In addition to her role at WLC, she is a licensed real estate agent who can help you with any real estate needs.
