Guest Access:
Welcome to northern Michigan, where our wintertime weather can swing from glorious to ferocious in a flash. Each of our properties has snow removal service scheduled to plow with each snowfall amounting to at least 3 inches of snow. If the vehicle you bring is not 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive, please be aware of the potential risks accessing the property when snow is present.

The Neighborhood:
The town of Glen Arbor started as a trading post in 1848 and thrived during the 19th century due to the demand for lumber for constructing housing and fueling passing ships. Increased traffic in the Great Lakes resulted in several shipwrecks so a US Life Saving Station was established in 1901. Glen Arbor is reachable via the M-22, which is considered to be the USA's most scenic drive in fall.

Getting Around:
For longer stays, all Golden Swan properties, and our lowest pricing, please find us at goldenswanmgt.

Other Things to Note:
Please Note: All guests staying at this property must be 25 or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This will be verified after booking confirmation.

A damage waiver fee is required by Golden Swan for each stay. For this property, the fee is $129 and provides our guests with accidental damage coverage up to $2000. If the amount of damage exceeds this, or if the damage is found to have occurred with malicious intent, Golden Swan retains the right to seek damages beyond that amount.

High chair and pack n play available upon request for an additional fee.

There is a non-refundable credit card processing fee applied to all reservations.

If the reservation is 14 days or longer there will be a required mid-stay clean. This is also available upon request for a shorter length of stay.

Dogs are allowed with an additional fee, with a maximum of 2 dogs. Please be advised that it is absolutely imperative for all renters to keep their dogs on a leash at all times. While we truly appreciate and value pets, ensuring that our furry friends are leashed or properly secured is of utmost importance to us. Please take your pup with you or kennel them when you leave the home. We cannot have lonely barking dogs left at our property. Please be considerate and clean up after your pet.

DOCK – You can expect the dock to be available for use Memorial Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. Please only use the dock for 15-minute loading and unloading of passengers. A mooring ball just beyond it is available for mooring between boat rides. Winds and waves pick up super-quick and can cause damage to boats and docks. There are no protective dock bumpers to prevent potential boat-docking issues.

Summertime Fun
Property was exactly as listed and in pictures; exceeded expectations. 2 Kayaks and Hot Tub were big pluses for us and we used them daily. Fire pit/wood was supplied and we used 1 night. We've visited this area before and chose this property for amenities and proximity to Glen Arbor/Empire/Sleeping Bear Dunes. Would recommend and stay at again. Property Management Team (Katy) was very responsive throughout the booking/stay/exit process.

Great Lakehouse with a beautiful view
The home and area are beautiful. Amazing homes and a great view of Glen Lake. Shallow water for over 100 yards is great for the kids (check water temps). Great fire pit, hot tub, terrific kitchen and dining room table for cooking for a crowd. Perfect set up for 2 families. Outstanding communication from the host as well. Definitely would recommend.
