Great stay in Arcadia

What a great location in Arcadia. Less than a mile from the best Ice Cream place around, nearby Arcadia and Pierport beaches, and right off M22. House was equipped with everything we needed and had a great living room, deck and yard for gatherings. We enjoyed our stay!

It is 30 min away from 5 different towns.We enjoyed our stay. The owners are available w any answers to your question. Thanks.

Loved the marsh and the beach

The home was tidy and quiet, with everything we needed. We enjoyed trips to Frankfort (only 20 mins away), Beulah(adorable place), Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, golf, wine. There's a wonderful marsh walk only half mile from the house in Arcadia - saw SO MANY birds. Really loved that.

Arcadia Bluffs Trip

Great location, especially if you have a group playing at Arcadia Bluffs! We stayed there for the weekend as we were playing all of the courses and the proximity to the courses/casino was excellent. House was well furnished and had all of the amenities that were needed. Would stay here again in the future.

Arcadia stay

We had a great week-long summer vacation here! The house was comfortable, quiet, and was located close to many of our daily excursions (Sleeping Bear Dunes climb, Frankfort eateries, Crystal Lake, Crystal Mountain, Traverse City, etc). It was equipped with everything we needed. A big thanks to Mark and Nadine for a great home base!

Uneasy feeling

We found that there was a significant musty, “old basement” smell. The house itself is dated but appeared clean, however the house is full of the owners personal items including clothes, toiletries, etc. A few concerns arose during our stay. When we arrived we found that the owners truck and boat were parked in the driveway. This would not have been an issue except the owner contacted my husband to say that he MAY be coming to retrieve his boat on Saturday of our stay and would be in touch. We returned to the home that Saturday to discover not only had owner moved boat, but also obviously entered the house without any notice. He again later returned while we were there getting ready for dinner and requested we move cars so he could park his second vehicle and leave with boat to go fishing. We did and went to dinner. Came back from dinner to find owners second vehicle and different trailer parked in grass and unsure if/when he would be returning. Owner had obviously, again entered the house without notifying us. At this stage half our group decided to leave. My wife and I went fishing that evening. We returned from fishing around 1030 that night to see owners car still parked in lawn. At this point we decided to pack up and leave as to not be disturbed at night. Owner did return while we were packing up, to leave his boat and car and leave with second vehicle. Being half packed and unsure if he would be returning early Sunday morning we left after him.

Great location, A few issues

Overall, our family had a great week but wanted to give pros/cons to help future renters. We have rented many VRBO houses over the years, so we have a lot to compare. Pros: -The house has a huge lawn which our family really enjoyed. -The kitchen was very functional and well appointed. -The A/C worked well. -There was plenty of hot water. -Close to beach (public and private) -Good WIFI. Our cell phones got good reception (Verizon). Cons: -There were no smoke detectors in the house. The description of the house states that there are smoke detectors. When we contacted the owners about this, they said that they had previously installed smoke detectors and attached them with adhesives and didn’t know what had happened to them. We bought a couple as a quick fix and the owner reimbursed us. She said she plans to have an electrician out to get one placed in each bedroom. -No deadbolt or (working) ping pong table as stated in listing -When we walked into the house, it smelled damp, maybe like mildew. It improved somewhat over time as the dehumidifier ran and as long as we kept windows open/aired out the house. -The mattresses on both queen beds were worn out and need to be replaced. -The owners have personal items throughout the house. Not sure if VRBO has a policy about this, but it made me feel uncomfortable and is not normal. -We had to request check-in instructions the day before arrival; we never received checkout instructions.

Spent a week in the area and this home was a perfect base for our family. Short drives to Frankfort and Traverse City.

Great Beach

The location of this house is amazing! We rode bikes, jogged, walked, took days trips to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Manistee, overall having a relaxing fun filled vacation. Mostly we rode bikes across the street to the beach and walked, swam, and found petosky stones on a beautiful shore. This was a magnificent location for a relaxing getaway.

Excellent Arcadia Location

We have relatives with a home in Arcadia and wanted to stay close by. This property was well-located, very safe and secure, spacious and open. We've stayed in a number of vacation rentals over the past decade + and this one had by far the best kitchen layout and supplies of various kinds, which was particularly important to my wife. The property is very close of good Lake Michigan beaches, Arcadia Dunes and the C.S. Mott Preserve with hiking and other activities, Arcadia Bluffs golf courses, the Arcadia Marsh (which was extremely interesting) and other things of interest. We tend to go to Arcadia annually and would willingly return to this property.

Good stay overall, but wish we could lock it up

House was exactly as described. We had a very good time as a family, enjoying the privacy and scenery. My only complaint is that there was really no way to lock the house up when we left. The key didn't fit in the lock very well, and we were advised to just leave it unlocked at all times.

Golfing trip

4 of us came out for a golfing trip to Arcadia Bluffs. Lodging was already booked so we found Mark’s house available nearby which worked out perfectly (and cheaper than staying at the golf resort). The shuttle was able to take us to and from the golf course. Mark was a personable host and went out of his way to make sure our accommodations and transportation were taken care of.
