5 Bedroom House in Arcadia
PEACEFUL LAKEFRONT FARM HOUSE NEAR CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN WITH FREE PONTOON
We never charge host, cleaning, pet (up to two dogs) or extra guest fees.
This 4-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse style home is a thoughtfully designed recreation of a classic Northern Michigan farmhouse, built in 2006 and set on 2.5 private acres along Upper Herring Lake. With 140 feet of private water frontage and a quiet country setting, this home offers privacy, space, and a true up-north atmosphere.
Surrounded by rolling hills, woodlands, orchards, and vineyards, the Farm House Cottage sits on a peaceful country road and provides plenty of elbow room for families and multi-generation groups.
THE HOME
This cozy yet spacious 2,200 square foot home features custom ceramic tile, wide plank flooring, detailed woodwork, an antique claw-foot tub, and Pottery Barn-style décor blended with antique and custom furnishings.
The main great room includes an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it a comfortable gathering space after a day on the lake or the slopes.
A game room with bunk beds features a foosball table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This space is ideal for kids, teens, and casual evening entertainment while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time in the great room.
The layout is designed with family fun in mind, offering separate areas for adults and children so everyone has space to relax.
THE LAKE AND LOCATION
Upper Herring Lake is an all-sports lake that remains peaceful and uncrowded, making it ideal for boating, fishing, and relaxed lake days without heavy traffic.
The home is just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches and the town of Frankfort, and is conveniently located near Crystal Mountain, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. It is an excellent home base for summer lake vacations, fall color tours, and winter ski trips.
WATERFRONT ACCESS AND AMENITIES
A short walk along a boardwalk through a protected natural area leads to the lakefront amenities. This path typically takes about two to three minutes for healthy adults and children. The home sits on a slight grade, so the walk back may take a bit longer for guests with mobility or health concerns.
Lakefront amenities include a full dock with moorings for additional boats, a fire pit with chairs, a rope hammock, chaise lounges, and ample space to enjoy the shoreline.
