A damage waiver fee is required by Golden Swan for each stay. For this property, the fee is $149 and provides our guests with accidental damage coverage up to $2500. 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.

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.

Wonderful Michigan Vacation
First of all our entire group had a wonderful time at this lovely property. The manager, Katy, was outstanding and was very responsive to our needs. We did have two suggestions that might improve the stay. Our group included some elderly adults with balance and walking issues. The backyard had some lovely but for seniors challenging natural stones steps that were hard to navigate. Handrails would be helpful. Also the back patio would have been improved with a screened area to control the fruit flies. Overall this was an excellent experience for our family.

Beautiful Home
This location is perfect! Close to Glen Arbor, the Dunes, Leland (Fishtown) and many great spots which allowed us to get maximize our days if we wanted to leave. The house made it so we didn’t have too! It’s beautiful inside and had everything we needed and more. The kayaks and paddle boards were used daily with smores at night on the fire pit. Katy and the team were very responsive to any questions we had leading up to our arrival. We would highly recommend Bear Feet Retreat!
