About this property

Lake Michigan Getaway Near Pierport Beach, Arcadia Bluffs & Stargazing

Escape to a peaceful Lake Michigan getaway in the historic Pierport Beach area, just 1,500 feet from the sandy shores of Lake Michigan and less than a mile from the renowned Arcadia Bluffs and Arcadia South golf courses.

Nestled on an acre, our charming country home offers the perfect combination of relaxation, outdoor adventure, and modern comfort. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, golf getaway, beach trip, or peaceful escape to Northern Michigan, you’ll find plenty to enjoy in every season.

The home comfortably sleeps six and features air conditioning, ceiling fans, laundry facilities, a dishwasher, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.

One of the best features of the property is the outdoor space. Start your morning with coffee on the large front or rear porch, spend the afternoon relaxing on the spacious screened-in back porch overlooking the peaceful property, and end your evening gathered around the fire pit.

After dark, experience one of the property’s most unique features—exceptional dark-sky stargazing away from the glow of city lights. On clear nights, look for the Milky Way stretching across the sky or use the available telescope to explore the moon, planets, and stars. It’s an unforgettable experience for both adults and children.

A DESTINATION FOR EVERY SEASON

Summer brings Lake Michigan beach days, kayaking, hiking, golfing, and evenings around the fire.

Fall offers spectacular colors throughout the surrounding forests and scenic Northern Michigan countryside.

Winter brings opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.

Perfect get away minutes walk from Lake Michigan. We swam at the beach and watched the sunset. Peaceful. We were very comfortable and had lots of space. Lots of out door terrace space and table space for summer dining in the front or back of the house. Awesome fire pit. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some great meals and enjoy the evenings. We would definitely return. Thank you!

This home is really layed out nice if you are traveling with another family. Though, it was just my husband and I , we were really impressed with all the rooms, privacy, porches, decks and the natural beauty within and outside the home. The nearby Facefull Artesian well has a the BEST SPRING WATER!! I wished I lived nearby, bc like the locals, I would get all my drinking water from the fountain. Another interesting note, when you walk south, on the shore of nearby Lake MI, about an 1/8th of a mile down, you come to natural springs on the beach, flowing into the big lake MI. We've never seen seen this before! Thank you Phil for a beautiful, peaceful home, in a cool peaceful area!

Great location, it was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The property is very peaceful. Loved that it was so close to the beach...wish it had been slightly warmer so we could have walked more of it. The bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. Phil and Jenn were extremely responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Would stay again if the opportunity presented itself.

A very tranquil setting best describes this stay. The home is much larger than the photos suggest, plus it was clean, and well-stocked with many items one doesn’t expect. The beach area was especially relaxing and there is a beautiful scenic road nearby with a semi-hidden public beach.
