Welcome to the Swan Float Inn! Named after the HUGE white swan that welcomes you into town off of US-31. This tri-level home is the perfect up north getaway retreat in the desirable west side neighborhood of the Village of Elk Rapids. Minutes to everything Elk Rapids has to offer - walk a block and a half to the beach on Lake Michigan or 4 blocks to the adorable downtown shops of Elk Rapids – you are steps away from it all. We rent Sunday to Sunday during the summer months and two night minimum during the off season.
The house offers three bedrooms and a full bath on the upper level, large family room, kitchen, eating area, half bath and deck (updated Fall 2024) on the main level, and two rooms and a half bath in the lower level with laundry facilities. This weekly rental includes Wi-Fi, SMART TV with DVD player, two Paddlebouy paddle boards for use at the beach, gas grill on the large updated deck. A 4th bedroom is located in the walkout basement with a queen bed and a pull out couch.

This house is available to rent on a weekly basis Sunday to Sunday from June 12 to Labor Day weekend.

Based on recent events, be reassured that our cleaning crew is following the CDC Recommendations for cleaning the property. Because extra precautions are being taken, we have modified our Check in/out times. Check in will be after 6 pm to allow our cleaning crew extra time to do a thorough cleaning. Check out will stay at 10 am.

Fun Fact: The 15 foot swan was used as a float to carry Miss. Elk Rapids in the Cherry Festival and Harbor Day parade back in 1966.

Great location
Very nice home. Really clean and great location. Beach was a block away and had so much to do. Downtown was easy to walk to and had a lot of cool shops. The property manager was very responsive. The only thing we didn’t like was the late check-in. By the time you check in at 6 p.m. and unpack it is too late to do much.

Amazing location
Loved this adorable house walking distance to downtown Elk Rapids and a block from the beach. The house was perfect for our mixed group of adults and kids in TC for a softball tournament. Only downside was that there was only 1 shower. Other than that, it could not have been more perfect. Loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Avid Spartan family always ready to cheer on our team to victory! Our Elk Rapids home is inviting, relaxing, and able to host lots of friends and family. We love hanging out at the beach and playing games in the front yard during the summer. Winter brings adventures to the nearby ski resorts and trips to Traverse City to visit the unique breweries. Park your car for the week, unplug and enjoy the uniqueness of this awesome town.
