Nearest Airport : Traverse City Regional Airport at 30 Miles
Car: recommended

Located along northwest Michigan's 'Third Coast' Arcadia is a small lakeshore community. The cabin is nestled in a small hamlet of cottages and year round homes north of Arcadia. Footsteps south of 3 miles of preserved lakeshore, yours for the enjoyment. Our 50 ft. sugar sand beach is private and will have few passerbys as you enjoy the stunning views from your lower deck. The area within 45 minutes drive boasts some of the best golf in the nation, such as Arcadia Bluffs 3 miles south, and great lesser courses to warm up on. Casinos and antiquing are near as well as blue ribbon trout streams and National Forests. Excellent restaurants invite for those days when you don't feel like grilling out or cooking, in Arcadia and close by quaint small towns. Traverse City is waiting for unlimited activity if a larger city is a desired destination. Morel hunting and fall color getaways are outstanding with winter skiing and trails to top of the off season. Enjoy!

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Arcadia, Michigan

Food and Fun:

Every little town seems to have a great restaurant or two. A couple of our favorites are: The Blue Slipper in Onekema, and the cafe in Arcadia. The Cabbage Shed in Elberta is our FAVORITE with good food and live bands most nights (Ask for a steak knife for leaving your mark). Frankfort has several great places to eat and see bands plus a bakery you just have to check out. All the little towns have something going on all the time. The Elberta Farmer's Market is great on Thursdays for fresh home grown stuff. Local fruit & vegetable farmers have great produce stands along M-22 and elsewhere. Take the kids to the Sugar Shack outside Benzonia or the Cherry Hut in Beulah and there is an actual drive-in theatre between Beulah and Honor. A fall visit to Old Mission Point's wineries is a great day trip. The area has a lot to offer, check it out!

outdoors:

Just plain paradise. Water-sports including unsalted big surf (most days), sugar sand ,squeaky clean beach, nature walks on the preserve lands. Some of the nations most treasured unspoiled locations to seek out. Sunsets to die for.

The Sleeping Bear Dunes are about a half hour north along scenic m-22 if you want a workout and view you will never forget.

other outdoor stuff.:

Bring your fly-rod for the Betsie, Platte, Big & Little Manistee, Bear Creek or any of the other nearby trout streams and have a blast. Charter services for the big lake and rivers are available or bring your boat for the inland lakes if you like. Manistee National Forest is open to hunters within a half hour, and May is morel month if you know what to look for.

Ski:

Crystal Mountain is a 20 min. drive and Caberfae in about 50 minutes. Excellent sledding at Onekma High School just 10 miles down the road.

Golf:

In Addition to Arcadia Bluffs, the area is full of courses to play. My brother- in-law bought a house here just to play the area courses.

Up North Fantasy

Review Submitted: January 8, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
If you are looking for the perfect "Up North" retreat look no further.
This place has all Northern Michigan ambiance you'll ever need!
Absolutely clean and comfortable, we will be telling our friends about this one.
Fantastically rustic with modern conveniences, my wife and I were able to get away from it all yet remain connected with the outside world via the strong internet connection. (sadly a must for us!)
The beach out front is great for walking plus you are close to many of Michigan's most popular destinations, including Sleeping Bear Dunes.
We will return to this gem in the future!

WOW!!

Review Submitted: November 28, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
Prime location, amenities, and accommodations. This place is definitely on my list for a return visit. As stated in other reviews, the pictures cannot provide an idea of how fantastic this place really is. Pride of ownership certainly shows in how well the property is maintained inside and out. The beach is exactly as described in the listing - a perfect place for walking and swimming. Nice views of occasional freighters on the horizon. The blend of a well-preserved original log cabin with modern conveniences was a pleasant surprise. Very comfortable! I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and family. Customer service receives an A+ for the owners.

Amazing Vacation

Review Submitted: July 23, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We are just finishing our week at the cottage. (I am writing this while looking at Lake Michigan and listening to the waves.) It was a fabulous place to stay, including the location (close to everything - Sleeping Bear Dunes, Crystal Mountain, Traverse City, tubing, bike rental, etc.)

The kitchen is modern, the beds are comfortable, and the bathroom is clean and sufficient for our needs.

Our son swam in Lake Michigan 3-4 times per day, and the location served us well as he went in and out of the water.

We loved this - and we recommend it for anyone!

Anniversary Weekend - May 2011

Review Submitted: June 13, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
What a great place to relax and enjoy the lake! Since it was May, the weather was a little cold and windy but we enjoyed staying inside this charming little place just as much as being outside on the lake. We did take daily walks along the beach...we just dressed warm. The view is spectacular! Since it was our Anniversary we went to dinner one evening at Arcadia Bluffs which is only about 10 miles away but other than that we stayed put....just to enjoy being there. Thanks Sue and family for sharing your home away from home with us. We plan on returning whenever we can!

Our Vacation Aug 2010

Review Submitted: September 11, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
First time we have ever rented a cottage that was better than the Web described. The cottage was darling & clean as a whistle.The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was convenient the view was amazing. Watching the sunsets and night sky from the upper or lower deck was...beyond words. The water was georgeous. We swam, walked on the beach, had camp fires, and enjoyed, enjoyed, enjoyed. The only problem was leaving. What a Treat!!!
