About this property

Private cozy home in Arcadia offering all the wonders of Northern Mi

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.

My kids, grandkids, and I stayed at Candy's home this past weekend, and our experience was nothing short of wonderful.The house was spotless, comfortable, and immediately felt like home. Every room was beautifully decorated, and the unique décor throughout the house sparked so many fun conversations.The spacious yard gave us plenty of room to play badminton and enjoy our putting green game. In the evenings, we gathered around the campfire, and at night we slept peacefully, surrounded by the quiet serenity of the property.The beach is very close, and we practically had it all to ourselves, making our stay even more relaxing.Candy, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family. We created wonderful memories and will definitely be back!

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!

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.

Hidden treasure on Arcadia Marsh

The location of this home is beautiful. Although the home is just a short distance from Lake Michigan, you'll be tempted to stay on the back deck all day and watch the birds from the Arcadia Marsh pass through the backyard. The kitchen is well equipped, and it was great to have the use of a gas grill. The house is very comfortable, and beautifully decorated.
