Arcadia House | Charming Barn-Style Retreat Near Crystal Mountain – Free Pontoon, No extra Fees

5 Bedroom House in Arcadia

Maybe you weren’t born in a barn — but why not vacation in one?
This unique 5-bedroom, 2-bath home was designed and decorated in 2005 to resemble a classic old barn, offering a cozy, comfortable escape with a touch of rustic elegance. With 2,600 sq. ft. of space, it’s the perfect setup for families — separate areas for adults and kids ensure everyone has room to relax and play.
Set on 2.5 private acres along peaceful Upper Herring Lake, you’ll enjoy 140 feet of frontage, rolling hills, orchards, vineyards, and a quiet country road — all just minutes from Crystal Mountain.
What's Included:
WiFi now available!
FREE pontoon boat use during summer months (a $1,000 value!)
NO host fees, NO cleaning fees, NO pet fees (for up to 2 dogs), and NO extra guest charges!
2-3 minute walk (approx. 200 ft) down the boardwalk through a protected natural area to your lakefront setup
Lakefront Amenities:
Available seasonally, your private lakefront includes:
Row boat (April 1 – Nov 15)
2 kayaks (May 1 – Nov 1)
Floating Aqua-Play-Mat (Memorial Day – Labor Day)
Full dock w/ mooring (Mid-May – Nov 1)
Fire pit with chairs
Rope hammock and chaise lounge
Free pontoon boat (Memorial Day – early October) + 10 gallons of free pre-mixed fuel!
The boats are clean and well-maintained, ranging from 18–24 ft and 20–30 years old, with 2-stroke motors (25–35 hp). Ideal for sunset cruises or fishing, not high-speed boating. Operating knowledge is helpful, but instructions and tech support are available.
Note: The lakefront has a typical Northern Michigan mica bottom — soft, mucky near the shore (not sandy).
Additional Notes:
Walk to lake is 200 ft and slightly graded — easy for most, but may be a challenge for guests with mobility issues.
We provide a starter supply of paper goods and soap, typically enough for a 2-night stay for smaller groups.
For a full packing list, visit the "Using the Property" section on your My Trip page.
Winter stays: We recommend an AWD or front-wheel-drive vehicle with snow tires.
