It will be listed under fees as "Damage Insurance". \*WILDLIFE DISCLAIMER\* Coming to beautiful Northern Michigan includes the possibility of wildlife encounters. We have midges, spiders, mosquitos, occasionally black flies and an assortment of other insects. We spray regularly to keep them at a manageble level but we also don't want to damage the fragile ecosystem here. Note that where there is water, there will be spiders. They are very industrious and can build back a knocked down web within a day! They are also great for controlling mosquitos and wasps, which we appreciate. We treasure the wildness of the North and perhaps that is what attracts you. Consider yourself lucky if you catch a glimpse of any of our other wild neighbors - black bear, wolves, deer, elk, coyote, fox, bobcats, porcupine, skunks, raccoons, eagles, hawks, squirrels, chipmunks and mice as well as a massive variety of birds. We ask you to consider this before booking one of our cottages or cabins. The presence of wildlife is part of the experience here and does not warrant a refund. ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Gather used towels Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys Wash, dry, put away dishes used.
