Winter Guests:
Northern Michigan winters are as beautiful as they are unpredictable. Snow removal service is automatically scheduled for snowfalls over 3 inches. If you're visiting during winter months, we strongly recommend a 4-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle to navigate snow-covered roads safely.

The Neighborhood:
• See the backside of the Sleeping Bear Dunes from the end of your dock
• Just a short drive to Glen Arbor's local boutiques, cafés, and dining
• Swim, paddle, hike, or simply relax surrounded by stunning natural beauty

Other Things to Note:
• All guests must be 25 or older, unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Age verification is required after booking.
• A $124 damage waiver fee is required per stay, covering accidental damages up to $1,500.
• High chair and pack n play available upon request (additional fee).
• Dog-friendly! Max of 2 dogs allowed (additional fee applies). Dogs must always be on a leash outdoors and never left alone unless kenneled. Please clean up after your pet.
