Two living rooms, one including a 65 inch smart TV. Full kitchen. Laundry with both washer & dryer. Three season screened room. Gas grill, outdoor fire pit with wood on site.

Recreation possibilities: Overlooks Arcadia Marsh with a great amount of wildlife in the backyard. Located a half mile from the Lake Michigan shoreline offering stunning sunsets and limited beach access. There is an easement to get to the beach which I will explain when guests arrive. Public marina half mile away offering deep harbor boat launch with slips. 3000 acres of conservancy land along Lake Michigan with spectacular views on the hiking trails. 10 and 2 mile mountain bike trails only 5 minutes away. Sources for hiking and biking are available at the Michigan Trails Website. Rivers close by are the scenic Bestie River, Platte River, and the Big and Little Manistee Rivers.

Arcadia is one of Michigan's best kept secrets. If you’re looking for a very quiet and peaceful retreat, this for you!! The house sits on one of the most protected marshes in Michigan.

Fantastic stay

We had such an amazing time. The location was incredibly relaxing, the house felt very clean, the beach access down the road and at the park were both great, and walking the marsh was one of our favorite parts. Candy was extremely friendly and helpful. I could go on and on about how much we all enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Candy owns a lovely property just off the shoreline of Lake Michigan, she personally greeted us at check in and was truly accommodating. Such a quaint and lovely community. The home was spectacular and the grounds were just as lovely…so much seating to enjoy the views, a fire pit and firewood, and a grill and seating to enjoy a meal together! We had a busy weekend that took us offsite, but there was much to do at the rental, wish we would have had more time to explore the nearby walking trails. Lake Michigan is 2 miles from the property so make sure to catch a sunset or two in Frankfort! Loved our stay, Candy is wonderful and her home was perfect for our needs!

Our family travels to Arcadia every summer and this stay was one of the best! The house was beautiful, clean, well shocked for cooking and had so many unique features. Our kids loved playing outside and watching the wildlife and we were just a short distance to lake Michigan. Candy was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a wonderful trip!

My family and I had the best time at Candy’s home. The house and property are beautiful. Everything was clean. Plenty of room for our family. We enjoyed sitting on their back deck and had bonfires at sunset. Very short drive to Arcadia Bluffs for golfers. Easy to get to Frankfort and Elberta.
