5 Bedroom House in Arcadia
BARN-STYLE LAKEFRONT HOME NEAR CRYSTAL MOUNTAIN WITH FREE PONTOON
This unique 5-bedroom, 2-bath home was thoughtfully designed to resemble a classic Northern Michigan barn, offering a warm, comfortable stay with rustic character and modern convenience. With 2,600 square feet of living space, the layout is ideal for families and multi-generation groups, with separate areas for adults and children to relax and unwind.
The home sits on 2.5 private acres along peaceful Upper Herring Lake, featuring 140 feet of private frontage and a quiet country setting surrounded by rolling hills, orchards, vineyards, and farmland.
Located just minutes from Crystal Mountain, the property is perfectly positioned for winter ski trips, summer lake vacations, and fall color getaways.
We never charge host fees, cleaning fees, pet fees (up to two dogs), or extra guest fees.
THE HOME
Designed and decorated to reflect an authentic barn-style aesthetic, the home blends rustic charm with comfort. Spacious common areas make it easy for groups to gather, while separate living spaces allow everyone to spread out and enjoy their stay.
WiFi is provided for guest convenience.
INDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AND LIVING SPACES
The main great room features an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, providing a comfortable space for relaxing after a day on the lake or the slopes.
The walkout basement includes a pool table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This lower-level area is ideal for kids, teens, and casual evening entertainment while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time upstairs.
LAKE ACCESS AND LOCATION
A short walk of approximately 200 feet along a boardwalk through a protected natural area leads to the lakefront. The path is gently graded and typically takes two to three minutes for healthy adults and children. Guests with mobility concerns should note the slight incline on the return walk.
Upper Herring Lake is an all-sports lake that remains peaceful and uncrowded, offering an enjoyable balance of boating, fishing, and quiet lake time.
