- "The location and house were perfect for the ironman this year. The only downside was not knowing there was NO A/C in the unit. It wasn't terribly hot with the fan and windows open but would have been a little more comfortable with A/C especially the night before the race. The twin beds were also a little more firm/hard than expecting. Overall, great location and price for the weekend."

Located approximately 1 mile north of scenic Arcadia, 3 miles from world renowned Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course and 10 miles south of charming Frankfort. A true Michigan Log Cabin which has been recently updated with a new kitchen and bathroom - all the ‘Up North’ feel with modern amenities! This unique cabin is literally steps from crystal blue Lake Michigan. Enjoy cozy bonfires, unsalted waters for swimming and unmatched sunset views all right outside your door. This unique section of Lake Michigan shoreline sports surf-able waves and unspoiled walks along over 3 miles of preserved, undeveloped beachfront owned by the Grand Traverse Land Conservancy. As you relax indoors in the cabin you can still take in the lake view through expansive front windows – an excellent backdrop for catching a movie on the Smart TV equipped with Netflix, or relaxing to some music via the Bose stereo. The lake-view lofted bungalow bedroom has a queen sized bed – sleep with the sounds of the waves and a waking view of the lake. The lower level bedroom includes a full sized bed and there is also a full sized futon in the great room. The kitchen is equipped with all cooking amenities, all new appliances and Keurig coffee maker. Linens and towels are provided, and you’ll also be equipped with a gas grill for outdoor cooking and firewood for bonfires. Check out below for what there is to do and see during each season here at the ‘Big Lake’!

NOTE : Lake Michigan is an ever changing force so currently levels are are at an all-time high. There is currently no beach. Water levels cycle over the years, but for now it's up close and personal! If lounging in the sand is more your speed, there are many options a short mile or two away from the cabin for public access beaches.

WARNING!!! I am not listed on craigslist - if you find this listing there - it is a scam. Communicate only through VRBO!!

Food and Fun: Every little town seems to have a great restaurant or two. The Red Apple in Arcadia just about a mile away serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Cabbage Shed in Elberta is our FAVORITE with good food and live bands most nights – grab a pint of Guinness and enjoy! Frankfort has several great places to eat and see bands plus the Crescent bakery for breads and baked goods which you just have to check out – delicious! All the little towns have something going on all the time from food, music, festivals, shopping & antiquing – Up North has it all. The Elberta Farmer’s Market is great on Thursdays and Frankfort Farmer’s Market takes place on Saturday for fresh, home grown stuff. Local fruit & vegetable farmers have great produce stands along M-22 and elsewhere for anything from famous Michigan cherries, to apples, blueberries and asparagus. Take the kids to the Cherry Hut in Beulah or an actual retro drive-in experience at The Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theater between Beulah and Honor. A fall visit to Old Mission Point's wineries is a great day trip as is St. Ambrose Cellars in Beulah for a selection of wines, meads and ciders. The area has a lot to offer, check it out!

Outdoors: Just plain paradise!
Spring / Summer - Water-sports galore with unsalted big surf on wave days, or kayaking and paddle boarding on calm days - unspoiled beach and nature walks on the preservation lands. Some of the nation’s most treasured trails, dunes and scenery to seek out and sunsets to die for. The Sleeping Bear Dunes are about a half hour north along scenic M-22 if you want a workout and view you will never forget. Golf courses, hiking and bike trails galore. Bring your fly-rod for the Betsie, Platte, Big & Little Manistee and Bear Creek rivers - or any of the other nearby trout streams and have a blast. Charter services for the big lake and rivers are available or bring your boat for the inland lakes if you like. Manistee National Forest is open to hunters within a half hour, and May is morel month if you know what to look for.

Fall – Nothing beats fall in Michigan! Relax at the cozy cottage with the wood burning fireplace glowing. There’s cable for catching a football game with a view of the lake, or take a day trip to wineries, scenic trails, local festivals and apple orchards galore. The fall colors are the real star of the show – a leisurely drive along M-22 to take it all in is worth a trip on its own!

Winter - Just less than 20 minutes away is luxurious Crystal Mountain for skiing, snowboarding and lodge life- hit the slopes during the day and return to the cabin for a cozy fire in the wood burning stove (firewood is provided). Caberfae Peaks is just less than an hour away for variety. There’s trails for snowmobiling, and fun for the whole family sledding at the hill at Onekama high school, just 10 minutes away. Up North Michigan is a tranquil place in the winter often with stunning frozen lake views (keep an eye out for ice balls that form and create a fascinating frozen landscape), and usually quite a bit of snow. There’s a reason it got the Winter Wonderland moniker!

- "Our stay was a delight! A delightful host! A delightful cabin with delightful features! All topped off with a delightful view of Lake Michigan. Any expectation we had was delightfully exceeded!" - "Wonderful rustic cabin, lake location and view. The stairs to the bedroom are a bit steep but usable. We could have used more hooks and available storage space in the bedrooms. The kitchen was well appointed. We had everything we needed including a French Press for our coffee. Overall, loved our stay. We really appreciated the ambience and the historic nature of the cabin. Please people, stop writing on the logs in this beautiful cabin!"

FISHING

Great fishing can be had right off your dock on Upper and Lower Herring Lake. Please catch and release, especially on Lower and Upper Herring Lakes. For fishermen who like to cast near Lake Michigan, both Frankfort and Elberta have fishing piers on Lake Betsie, which is essentially Frankfort Harbor. It is known for salmon, brown trout, steelhead, smallmouth bass, and catfish.

On calm days, locals like to fish from the north and south cement breakwater piers that reach way out into Lake Michigan.

The Frankfort Tackle Box on Main St has bait, tackle, licenses and great advice. For salmon, lake trout and steelhead charters, I recommend Power Trip or Tiny Bubbles.

- "Loved the location. The place was clean and on a beautiful lake. Would love to go back some day." - "My daughter and I only stayed for two nights but it was perfect. Adorable cabin. Adorable set up. Close to everything. The owner came by to welcome us our first night there. Can’t want to visit again!!" - "Had a great stay. Went up for the fall colors and checked out a couple lighthouses and was close to town. Since Mother Nature didn't cooperate, we didn't really use the lake or property."

This nearly original, historic cottage has been described as "A Rustic Wooden Tent" by some and as "Shabby Chic" by others. If you love nature and the minimalistic beauty of life this is the camp for you.

This eclectic, creek side camp has natural waterway access to lower herring lake and lake Michigan. Get ready to enjoy epic Walleye, Brook, Brown, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead) and possibly Coho Salmon fishing. Don't forget about the biking, hiking, lounging, and relaxing with nature. There is conservancy land, and a public boat launch a stones throw away. You can even end your day with a peaceful campfire at our fire pit over looking the creek.

- "5 adult sisters and our mom stayed for a fun weekend in Frankfort. This cabin appears tiny at first but with the back sleeping porch and the front dining porch, it was plenty of space for 6 adults. Fantastic location with a pretty stream/brook in the backyard. 5 minutes from downtown Frankfort and 10 minutes from Arcadia. Beautiful beaches nearby, and everyone who looked for a petoskey stone found 1 or more." - "It was great. My kids loved sleeping on the porch, and my husband loved kayaking to the Lake Michigan inlet."

- "Arcadia is a favorite and frequent destination of ours-we were excited to find a little place right in the neighborhood to make our home base for the weekend. We believe the listing is a new one as it did not have any reviews, but we gave it a shot anyway. The house has recently been renovated and is coming along nicely-they may have more to do on the outside and maybe a bit more inside as the bedroom ceiling seemed a bit unfinished. The entire house was impeccably clean! The kitchen had everything anyone could need to prepare meals and it all appeared to be brand new. The small bedroom only had a sheer-type curtain and the morning sun was bright at 6:00 am. Maybe a set of blinds like the other bedroom has would help. The water in the shower did slow to a cool trickle (not just the hot water, but the water in general) after I showered and before my husband could finish his. We adjusted the next day and made it work with our timing. A family might have trouble getting everyone through though. The front door is full glass and a blind or a shade would make guests feel some privacy once the sun sets, also in the second living, room the windows maybe could use the same. We had a lovely stay- we walked for coffee every morning and walked to the sunset every evening. Weather wasn’t warm enough for a beach day, but the addition of the beach chairs and beach towels is sure a nice touch for later in the season. Great little place in the heart of all M22 has to offer! "

- "Perfect for us. Didnt know much about the area ahead of time other than having been up north a bunch of times. This place and community really captured our hearts. If you want to unplug, live slowly, and focus on family, this is a great choice. The place is not massive, but you will spend most of your time outdoors and the grounds are plenty spacious. The deck helps a bunch. If you have little ones be prepared to give them the bedroom for noise isolation and sleep on the pull out. But we knew that going in not a problem. We were surprised to find that the design of the interior added so much to the experience. Just a very well thought out little space with lots of great light and color. Fun to be up in the trees with a bright green countertop :-)"

- "This was a gem of a place. My family was a little hesitant at first to reserve this property because we usually like to have a full laundry (there is only a clothesline), but we were attracted to its lakeside location. And the location really is wonderful. We used the kayaks and paddleboards from the boat house on Herring Lake, the kids enjoyed swimming around the dock and pontoon, there is a fantastic forest trail behind the property, and a beautiful Lake Michigan beach is an easy ten minutes walk away. The cottage is part of a historic logging township and the setting is very relaxed with lots of outdoor benches and tables. The cottage itself was great for our family with two young kids, but would be a little small for two older/teenage children. Overall we had lots to do, from borrowing games, water play, using the playground, and walking the trails, as well as visiting our favorite spots in Frankfort and Beulah. We hope to return."

- "We had an awesome time. Loved it. Holly was great." - "We were happily surprised to find that the "Studio 1" cottage surpassed are expectations. Studio 1 refers to the fact that the cottage was originally built for music; it is a one bedroom cottage with full though small kitchen. The cottage is quiet, cute and clean. Holly and "the colonel" were fabulous hosts. Friendly, communicative and available. Holly responded quickly to questions in advance of our booking and stay. On site, we used the "request" list to ask for a frying pan only to come home a few hours later to find the pan in our kitchen. Truly wonderful people. The location is very special. The Duncan cottages and the adjacent Watervale Inn and Cottages are old in the best sense of the work. Old school charm and casual summer sophistication. Little Herring Lake is your front yard. Lake Michigan is your next door neighbor. Miles of hiking trails is your backyard. We had a blast on lakes, trails and dunes. And just laying about on outdoor furniture located all over the grounds. And if you don't feel like cooking, the Watervale Inn provides take out dinners of multiple courses that are fresh and delicious. We needed nothing more than we found at Studio 1. We have bookmarked this one as our favorite Michigan getaway. Arcadia and Duncan cottages - Thank you!"
