About the Property

House, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)

Enjoy the serenity of the historic beach town during the spring and summer seasons. The house is
set on one partially wooded acre. It is a small friendly neighborhood with very little street traffic. Great for a peaceful retreat. It is a great relaxing time, reading a good book, and then watching the sunsets followed by a bonfire . Lots of great swimming, hiking, birding, wild flowers and wild leeks, and morel mushrooms. The night sky can be filled with lots of stars visible all around the house.
Come sleep in the new organic queen size bed with all cotton sheets and down pillows for the best dreams. This house is all green, environmentally sustainable, and healthy. It is a great feeling. As well, it is all on one level with wide door ways to accomodate the handicap.
While you are sitting at the dining room table or on the big porch you can view Lake Michigan and hear the
waves.
This is an artist's home and is decorated with a unique flair.
A large library of books and board games are here to enjoy.
It is five miles to Arcadia, Bear Lake, or Onekama for supplies, restaurants, festivals, music.
It is 17 miles to Frankfort and Manistee with quaint shops and museums, lighthouses and piers and restaurants as well as theaters.
Crystal Mountain Ski Resort and Interlochen Arts Academy are both close by for concerts, theater, fine
dining. There are many small golf courses and of course the biggee - Arcadia Bluffs also with fine & causal dining.
Come and enjoy! No need to bring anything but food, clothes and toys. Fully furnished. Linens are provided and there is a washer/dryer. Condiments for cooking are supplied with pots and pans and lots of dishes.
The hammock on the porch is everybody's favorite place!!

Why the Owner Chose Bear Lake, MI, USA:
Pierport is an incredible neighborhood and beach. It is like a hidden secret of a place. Organic fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, and meat are all available from local farmers. In Fall the color of the leaves is so beautiful. In Winter the snows scapes are quiet and still and the house is all cozy at you look out at the wonderful white. The back hill is great for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. There are miles of fields and forrest to ski through. Crystal Mt. Ski Resort is 40 minutes away.

The Unique Benefits at this House:
It is a great place to walk in nature. The deer almost eat out of your hand. Bird feeders attrack many varieties of song birds and perching birds. There are no city lights or traffic noise. Within an hour to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City or Interlochen Music camp.
