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!

Easy location to hikes and beach. We enjoyed having a calm place to hang out in between activities and gather around the table or watch a move together. The picture windows afford lovely views.

Great Stay in Arcadia

We had a great stay! The location was perfect, short drive to golf and to the towns north and south of the property. The house was well stocked with extra amenities. The owners were very responsive to any questions. Will book again when coming up.

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!

The perfect spot

We enjoyed our stay and Mark was excellent to work with. The private beach was a perfect ending to each day. The house was centrally located to many of the areas we wanted to visit. Lots of wildlife. Baby squirrels, baby deer, and so much more. Loved it.

Very Enjoyable

We were looking for a place to get away from our busy everyday lives and this was a great place for that. Nice and simple, but with all the necessary updates. Bit of a musty smell, but overall nice.

Thank you for the review, since we are so close to Lake Michigan, Lake Arcadia and the Arcadia Marsh the water tables are very high. We are going to have a dehumidifier installed directly into the plumbing so it can run continuously.

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.

The house and property are just as the pics show. It is very clean and comes w everything from coffee pot, pots/pans to lotions, shampoo and suntan lotion. I have not had that in the many years of renting. It is located in the country and is quiet.Located next to Arcadia Marsh. Very close (1mi) to Lake MI beach.Just beautiful. It is 30 min away from 5 different towns.We enjoyed our stay. The owners are available w any answers to your question. Thanks.

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.

Our stay was enjoyable because we made great family memories and truly enjoyed all the wonderful surroundings and beautiful things that we got to do.. the cabin however itself was not so delightful floors had not been swept cobwebs in every room 14 spiders killed in one room on first day alone. Garbage stacked in the garage for rodents and bugs.. my children found a vape in the bed of the bunk room which really made me leery on if anything was cleaned and bedding was done with all the other stuff that we had found that was not. Along with the letter from the last renters that was left for the hosts that was still lying on a shelf that wasn't even wiped off.. I do have numerous pictures to back up all my complaints that I have, not to mention the hornets nest on the side of the garage which was very unsettling for someone who is highly allergic to bees.. and the private beach access is very misleading and definitely not accessible if you have small children beach stuff or handicapped guests I could go on but I think you understand. As someone who cleans cabin rentals for a living in another county for 40 years I would be embarrassed to say this was a job I did or left it for renters to come in and feeling that was okay. Charging a 200 cleaning fee when I had to clean it myself is outrageous do I get that back for having to clean myself?? There was no welcome letter but I left a departure letter on the dinette for the host. Truly embarrassed for the guests I brought..

I was surprised to hear about all of this after you left. I wish that you would have called the day you checked in so things could have been addressed during your stay. Your reservation was for 7 guests, I counted at least 10 guests. I am guessing that this is in retaliation for us filing a complaint with VRBO for a pet that was brought against our house rules. I also have pictures that the cleaning took before and after your visit that documents that the house was cleaned prior to your arrival and the pet stains left on the bedroom carpet after you left.

Great Location

Spent a week in the area and this home was a perfect base for our family. Short drives to Frankfort and Traverse City. Easy access to beaches and if you want to play golf at Arcadia Bluffs it is a short 2-minute drive. Mark was a tremendous host and was easily accessible to answer questions and provide great insight into the area.
