Arcadia House | Barn-Style Lakefront Near Crystal Mountain with Pontoon and Game Room

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.
INCLUDED LAKEFRONT AMENITIES (SEASONAL)
Row boat (April 1 through November 15)
Two kayaks (May 1 through November 1)
Floating aqua-play mat (Memorial Day through Labor Day)
Full dock with mooring (mid-May through November 1)
Fire pit with chairs
Rope hammock and chaise lounges
Pontoon boat (Memorial Day through early October) with 10 gallons of free pre-mixed fuel
The pontoon boats are clean, well maintained, and functional. They range from 18 to 24 feet in length and are older models with 25 to 35 hp two-stroke motors. They are well suited for relaxed cruising and fishing, not high-speed boating. Guests with basic boating experience will enjoy them most. Instructions and technical assistance are available if needed.
The lake bottom near the shoreline is typical Northern Michigan soft sediment (mucky) and is not sandy.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
A starter supply of paper goods and soap products is provided and is typically sufficient for a two-night stay for smaller groups.
For a complete list of what is provided and what to bring, please see “Using the Property” on your My Trip page.
WINTER TRAVEL NOTE
For winter stays, an all-wheel-drive vehicle or front-wheel-drive vehicle with good snow tires is strongly recommended.
