Maybe you weren't born in a barn, but why not vacation in one ...
Designed and decorated to resemble an old barn, but comfortable and cozy with a touch of class. The home is also setup with the family in mind, with separate areas for adults and little ones alike. Enjoy panoramic views of Upper Herring Lake Valley from the top floor. This huge 2600 sq. ft. home is in a word, FUN !
Located on all-sports Upper Herring Lake with 140' of private water frontage*, this 5 bedroom, 2 bath Rental on a Michigan Lake sits on 2.5 acres on a quiet, peaceful country road surrounded by a perfect blend of rolling hills, woodlands, orchards and vineyards.
Privacy and elbow room await you in this beautifully decorated home. Just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, Frankfort and near many of Northern Michigan's premier vacation spots such as The Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City.
Also, just 2-3 minutes walk** down the boardwalk through the protected natural area, await enough waterfront amenities to fill a barn! There is a row boat, 2 kayaks, 1 towable Floating Aqua-Play-Mat, life jackets in various shapes & sizes, full dock w/moorings for extra boats, fire pit w/chairs, rope hammock, chaise lounge, and as an extra bonus we include the use a ***pontoon boat free of charge ( a $1,000 value).

*Typical Northern Michigan soft mica bottom, NOT SANDY. The lakefront feels mucky near the shoreline.
**2-3 minutes for healthy adults and children, for those with health issues it could take a little longer. Home also sits on a slight grade so the walk back could be a concern for those with health issues.
***As a FREE bonus to our guests in our summer months, we offer you the use of one of a pontoon boats. They are nothing special. They are clean and well maintained. They range in size from 18-24ft. They range in age from 20-30 years old w/2stroke motors ranging from 25 - 35 hp. While these boats may not fulfill the boating dreams of some people, they are perfect for a sunset cruise or a family fishing outing. We even supply you with 10 gallons of pre-mixed gasoline! To get the most enjoyment from these boats it is recommended that person with a knowledge of boating and two stroke motors be involved operating them. If not we do have full instructions, and technical assistance available if necessary. See photo of typical pontoon boat.
---- Also we provide a starter supply of paper/soap products which should be enough for a typical 2 night stay for smaller groups of 2 - 4 people. For a complete list of "what is provided" and "things to bring", check out "Using the property”, on your “My Trip” page.
- For our winter guests we recommend bringing an all-wheel-drive vehicle or at the very least a front wheel drive with good snow tires.

We picked this house for its location about 10 minutes from Arcadia Bluffs and it was extremely nice. It was large space with plenty of room for 5 adults to spread out when needed. The house was clean and decorated beautifully. The kitchen was well stocked and there were numerous games that kept us entertained for hours. Couldn’t be happier with the house and look forward to returning with my children as I know they will enjoy the house and surrounding area greatly!
Clean and comfortable property! Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and lovely costal communities.
This was a charming cabin in a great location. Everything you needed was provided. Kitchen etc. was well equipped. There is quite a walk to get to the lake and the lake is unfortunately difficult to see from the cabin but once you got to the lake it beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for everyone,
The property was the perfect destination for a relaxing weekend with the family. Everything you could want in the perfect sized home. The home was so well equipped we felt very over prepared for our 2 night stay. My family is already asking how soon we can go back and we have every intention of booking the same property for our next weekend getaway. The cleaning and service fee charged at the property is completely reasonable. You feel like you are walking into a home that was set aside just for you. EVERYTHING felt clean and welcoming. We hope to visit again in the near future hopefully during warmer weather and with more time to actually enjoy the beautiful lake and site seeing this slice of paradise had to offer.
We enjoyed our little snowy winter getaway to the barn house. The house decor was cute with some unique details. It comfortably accommodated our whole family, 10 of us including an infant. The kitchen lacked nothing we needed to prepare all our meals. Walks down to the lake were peaceful and the scenery beautiful, with plenty to do inside the house with games and movies, and close to Crystal Mountian for some skiing.
Great place to stay for our family.
We had a great time, house is beautiful and comfortable with plenty to give you stuff to do but also can be as relaxing as ever. The surrounding area was also wonderful, we'll definitely be back to the area and maybe even another one of these rental properties.
There is plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and dishes. The main floor bed left us with sore backs. I don’t really understand why they are so stingy with things like dishwasher soap, toilet paper, and trash bags. I also don’t appreciate their dish policy. They ask for all dishes to be cleaned, dried, and put away before checkout. It would be nice to be able to feed my family breakfast and leave with the dishwasher running.
Great for groups. Convenient to the M-22 locations and Traverse City. Would absolutely stay again.
