Guest Access:
Wintertime Guests: 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:
See the back side of the Sleeping Bear Dunes from the end of the dock!

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 $79 and provides our guests with accidental damage coverage up to $1000. 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.

Dogs are allowed with an additional fee, with a maximum of 2 dogs. Please take your pup with you or kennel them when you leave the home. We cannot have sad, lonely barking dogs bothering our neighbors. Please be considerate and clean up after your pet. Pets must be secured on the premises or on a leash at all times.

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.

DOCK: The dock is available for use with guests' rental boats for 15 minute loading and unloading passengers, and 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.

Little Glen Cottage
Very beautiful and clean property. Property manager Katy was kind and quick to respond to any message I sent her. Beautiful view of Glen Lake as well. My husband, two little boys and our corgi had a relaxing few days. Will be back again.

Perfect Northern Michigan Getaway!
I stayed here with my family and infant son and it could not have been more perfect! Plenty of space for 7 adults and a child! The house was well stocked with everything we needed! The beds are very comfortable! Hot tub was great and large. Great location close to downtown Glen Arbor and sleeping bear dunes! We hope to be back very soon!!!

We loved our stay! The home is so pretty, right on the lake with an amazing view. All of the finishes and touches are luxurious and high quality, from pillows to bedding to towels to toilet paper. Communication was superb and check-in was very easy. Highly recommend!

Starry Nights & Peaceful Mornings
We arrived right at Sunset on a windy day, and we were able to warm up next to a cozy fire. Day two, things cleared up and were treated to a quiet lake and bright stars from the hot tub. The picture window provided colorful sunrises. All while feeling close to everything: Hiking at Empire Bluff, and dinners at Funistrada, Arts and La Becasse.

Great Fall Weekend
The home is very clean, cute, with great lakefront. Good location, very nice that they allow dogs (hard to find lakefront properties that do!). We loved the fireplace and the fire pit - all the fall things we needed were there!
