Arcadia, Michigan
Experience Lake Michigan like you never have before at this quaint cabin tucked in the woods on miles of pristine Lake Michigan.

Very quiet and private location. Due to changing water levels, shoreline is not guaranteed. Lake access stairs on the north side of the property.

The sunsets here are amazing and not to be missed. Night skies are breathtaking. If you love golf, Arcadia Bluffs is just 3.5 miles away.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third or fourth time staying here. We expect a rough cottage feel, which we are okay with. This time we were surprised that it was not clean. We love that the rental accepts dogs and do not mind paying the additional cleaning fee. However, we expect the cleaning fee will be used for--well, extra cleaning! We always bring sheets to cover furniture so our dogs don't get their hair everywhere. While washing the dog sheets, I flipped up the cushions to the couch so they would not jump up on it. Lots of sand and dog hair under the cushions. The floors were dirty. For example, I moved the little couch in the main living area to get at some kibble I had spilled. Wow! I'm sure the floor under it had not been cleaned in a while. I swept up beer bottle tops left by previous guests. I cleaned two of the burners on the stovetop because I did not think they were useable as I found them. The oven is filthy. The grill is filthy. I tried to clean the mold/mildew from around the bathroom sink fixtures but did not have the correct cleaning products. The toaster was broken and some lights did not work. This property needs more cleaning and general maintenance. On a positive note, the property management company was, as always, very responsive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 3rd time staying here. Love the place but the kitchen is very under equipped. The toaster does not work. It doesn't have basic things like measuring cups, measuring spoons, small pots or pans, Wisk, casserole dish, etc. A few of the pans are worn out and just need to be thrown away. Fine if you are eating out but made it hard to cook.

It is small, it may even be a bit funky, but to us it’s perfect. Good for 3, great for 2, too small for four, this mid-century box on stilts, with many original features has the most amazing views. Wake up to the lake l, go to sleep under the stars. The lake MI views are just breathtaking. And the beach is great too. It’s comfortable and has all you need in a quaint, comfy space.

We took our 2 small dogs and they loved it too. We went to Stormcloud Brewery in Frankfort which was dog friendly. For dinner we went to The Roadhouse in Beulah.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a gem we stumbled upon! Literally booked this the day before arrival when we realized what a warm, sunny weekend we were in store for. The cottage is absolutely perfect in every way. I just love an old cabin feel and the BEACH! The cottage had everything we needed including very strong internet (we worked a half day Friday) and really great tasting tap water (no need for bottled here)! We appreciated that this place was dog friendly, thank you for that!We spent a lot of time on the deck and beach enjoying the view. We also golfed Arcadia bluffs, hiked and biked the local trails (epic views). Tried out some local restaurants, wineries and breweries, our two favorite being Rock's Landing and 5 Shores brewing. We will DEFINATELY be back.The management company was great! Very friendly and helpful.
The road through the woods worried my erudite urbanite companion from Santa Monica, but her worries quickly dissipated, at the appearance of Lake Michigan. The cottage may be a bit funky, but it was comfortable, and the location on a small bluff on the lake was spectacular. The screen door for the sliding glass door by the dining table was apparently damaged by someone attempting to pry it open. It still opens and closes, but it can’t be shut and locked. The bathroom sink drains slowly. I donated a new sauté pan and batteries for the TV remote control for future vacationers, and hopefully someday I can return. Thanks to everyone, who helped make this stay possible.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The sliding glass doors to the patio (the main attraction to the lake view) had dog nose prints all over them; I couldn’t find windex to clean them myself. The fridge drawer had a sticky old mess caked in it. The stove burners (drip pans) had caked on sticky residue. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, couch was sagging & uncomfortable. For the price of admission, I think you could do better than hard steel chairs & the ancient kitchen table. The views & property grounds were outstanding. It was very quiet & peaceful. We didn’t have a fire as it isn’t a proper fire pit & we deemed it unsafe to do so. For $325 a night in off-peak, the amenities were very disappointing. Some serious upgrades are in order for this price point.
