Sandy Beach!! Cottage on Lake Michigan in Arcadia. Private setting. Pet ok.

Experience Lake Michigan like you never have before at this quaint cabin tucked in the woods on miles of pristine Lake Michigan. Imagine waking up in the morning to the sound of Lake Michigan, the call of birds, fresh, clean air... ahh, the good life. Good Morning Arcadia is small but offers cozy lodging. Very quiet and private location. Due to changing water levels, shoreline is not guaranteed. Lake access stairs on the north side of the property.

One flight of stairs up to the main level of the house. Faces west for breathtaking sunsets. 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Allows up to 4 people.

Full kitchen (no dishwasher). One of the bedrooms boasts a sliding door to the deck for great views and the sound of the lake. Cable HD flat panel TV/DVD/WIFI. Washer/dryer in the lower-level laundry room. If the weather is a little too warm, there are fans in each room. Typically, the breeze off Lake Michigan can keep you cool and comfortable.

Big deck off the living room with stunning views of the lake. Enjoy outdoor grilling on the charcoal grill.

The sunsets here are amazing and not to be missed. Night skies are breathtaking. If you love golf, Arcadia Bluffs is just 3.5 miles away. Nature trails, dunes, and an amazing scenic overlook are also close. Make sure to explore the quaint towns of Arcadia, Frankfort, and Onekama. Manistee is 23 miles away. Arcadia Beach and Veterans Memorial are just minutes from the cottage. It is a beautiful drive north on M-22 to reach the Baldy Dunes or Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Quaint,quirky, knotty pined cabin with a million dollar view.
The road through the woods worried my erudite urbanite companion from Santa Monica, but her worries quickly dissipated, at the appearance of Lake Michigan. The cottage may be a bit funky, but it was comfortable, and the location on a small bluff on the lake was spectacular. The screen door for the sliding glass door by the dining table was apparently damaged by someone attempting to pry it open. It still opens and closes, but it can’t be shut and locked. The bathroom sink drains slowly. I donated a new sauté pan and batteries for the TV remote control for future vacationers, and hopefully someday I can return. Thanks to everyone, who helped make this stay possible.

Beautiful Spot for a Small Family
This spot in Arcadia was the perfect for a much needed getaway. We appreciated the secluded location but it wasn’t too far of a drive to get to shops and restaurants. We started each day with coffee in bed overlooking the lake and fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing. We’ll be back!

We loved how off-the-grid this place was and the view of the lake from the front bedroom was insane. And the place is so cozy!

Perfect Weekend
We rented Good Morning Arcadia for a much needed weekend getaway. The pictures and reviews of the property made it sound just perfect, and indeed it was. We were not looking for anything luxurious, we were looking for a quiet place on the lake to spend a few days. The decor is refreshingly eclectic, and gave much to look at and enjoy. It was perfect for two people, but it would be too small for more people because of limited seating. The wrap around deck is a very nice feature. There is at least one thing that each of us has that makes or breaks our opinion of a place. For me, it is the water; the taste, the smell, the softness/hardness. The water here is excellent! (I have been known to avoid places because of the water.). It is clear and crisp with no funny taste or smell. And the shower was great! There is a small library in the hallway with some interesting titles. There are too many great things to say about this property. It is simple, comfortable and has the best view of Lake Michigan that you could possibly imagine. Even though you can’t (easily) get down to the water, you can still see the waves crashing on shore, and you can hear the soothing sound of the water. With the awesome porch, who needs the beach anyway! We will definitely be back to this wonderful hidden gem! (P.S. I think the deer in the picture is on the payroll because we saw deer on several occasions, the first time on the road, just like the picture!)

Perfect Pandemic Getaway
Good Morning Arcadia is the perfect location to get away from pandemics, city stress, work, etc. The sights and sounds of Lake Michigan and the gentle clicking of poplar trees are the soundtrack of this property. Wake to see deer families feeding outside the bedroom door. The four-sided deck allows for enjoying the natural environment all around you. The beach has been swallowed up, sadly. The house itself is clean, extremely well stocked with kitchen tools, dishes and towels, and generously supplied with perishables (dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc.). A cozy accommodation for two; workable for 4; 5 would mean the short straw sleeps in the Living/Dining/Kitchen area. Cell service is very spotty; internet is solid. All in all, I wish I owned Good Morning Arcadia and could stay here all summer.

No beach, tired rental
Tired. Needs many repairs including new mattresses. More importantly, exposed electrical wiring is hazard, and stairs to lake and deck have exposed nails. Looks like no effort to maintain or improve. The high lake has eroded the beach and made access to impossible.
