Stayed Jun 7, 2025This is our second time staying at this property on Lower Herring. We are an extended family of eight adults and two toddlers. Pete’s communication is quick and thorough, when needed. There were plenty of comfortable beds for all of us. We really appreciated the cute cottage style bedrooms, new linens and lots of dresser space to unpack. Since the last time we stayed at this property, the bathroom upstairs has been completely updated. That was such a nice surprise! With three full bathrooms, each family got to choose their own. The kitchen is fully stocked with a gas grill on the upper deck for easy grilling. We took advantage of all the different recreational boats that are available at the property. Some of us paddled across the lake to Lake, Michigan a couple of times, which is our favorite thing to do on Lower Herring lake. We also rowed the row boat out and fished a few times. Great place and highly recommended.

Stayed May 25, 2024We loved our stay here with family and friends. House sits along the lake with glass doors and windows giving us a beautiful view of the Lower herring lake. We used provided kayaks, canoe and boat to go from the house to the Lake Michigan beach. Amazing part is that is it is private access with no one to disturb except Watervale guests. Pete was in touch with us during whole stay and gave a complementary a wine bottle.

Stayed Jun 17, 2023This is a great property on Lower Herring Lake with the ability to kayak over to Lake Michigan…which is beautiful! Kids loved the boat, canoe, kayaks, paddleboards, and floating dock. The house worked for us perfectly because we had six adults upstairs and all the kids downstairs. The downstairs level is chilly so bring extra blankets! Kitchen was fully stocked so we could make meals at the house. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed Jun 18, 2022This was our first time staying in Arcadia and on Lower Herring Lake and it did not disappoint. We have stayed on Crystal Lake, but always had to cross the street to our cottage and trips to Frankfort take longer from Crystal than from this cottage (which surprised us). This cottage is right on the water with a decent sized beach/ (rare on many lakes in the area) and a huge lakefront yard for family games (we brought our own lawn games). You are provided with many poaddleboards, kayaks and a canoe to provide hours of lake fun! The house layout was perfect for us and everyone commented on how comfortable their beds were! 3 full baths was a big plus. Kitchen was equipped with enough plates etc to feed a huge group. One small issue was that our group was 7 adults and we had to pull seating from an outside deck table to eat together at the dining table together as it only seats 6. We will definitely come back!

Stayed Aug 28, 2021Very easy check in. The house was beautiful and very clean. Kitchen was stocked with whatever you need for utensils and pots and pans. The view from the living room and deck were beautiful and stunning. Plenty of bedrooms and baths for our large group. Very peaceful and relaxing area around the house. The location is close to so many places to visit and shop. Also some outstanding restaurants in the area! We took many walks along Lake Michigan over to the outlet from Lower Herring Lake. Sunsets were outstanding and relaxing. We created many memories and will definitely be coming back!

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We enjoyed the lake and the access to Lake Michigan and Frankfort. We also liked the firepit and the many boats available for use. The house, could have been very nice, but it was dirty and the lower level musty. The carpet and bedspreads were stained. The beds in the open area in the basement were uncomfortable and we feared that the bunkbed would collapse, so we needed to rent a hotel room in Frankfort to accommodate our family.
