Beautiful retreat

This is an awesome property that is beautifully decorated and surrounded by the wonders of nature. The backyard has great views of the marsh and a large patio to sit and relax. Candy has done a great job with all of her small touches to make the home feel cozy and welcoming. We loved our time at this house and can't wait to come back!

Super property

We had an great stay. The home is as advertised and more. It is the first place we have stayed that was truly, fully outfitted & decorated as you would your own home. In addition, it was spotless and communication with the owner was excellent.

Fantastic stay

We had such an amazing time. The location was incredibly relaxing, the house felt very clean, the beach access down the road and at the park were both great, and walking the marsh was one of our favorite parts. Candy was extremely friendly and helpful. I could go on and on about how much we all enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Wonder spot

My family and I had the best time at Candy’s home. The house and property are beautiful. Everything was clean. Plenty of room for our family. We enjoyed sitting on their back deck and had bonfires at sunset. Very short drive to Arcadia Bluffs for golfers. Easy to get to Frankfort and Elberta.

Beautiful home!

My son and I came to stay for Labor Day weekend. The pictures do no justice for how pretty the home is and the attention to detail of the decor. The home is very clean and comes well stocked with essentials. The kitchen has just about anything you’ll need for any style of cooking. Beautiful private view of the marsh behind the house. Plenty of deer, bald eagles and other cool wildlife. Would definitely come back!!

Quiet Location South of Franfort

Rental was in a great setting for wildlife viewing. Outdoor seating areas are very nice. Home has lots of personal touches. We were surprised there was no dishwasher. Great location for biking and exploring this area of Michigan.

Hidden treasure on Arcadia Marsh

The location of this home is beautiful. Although the home is just a short distance from Lake Michigan, you'll be tempted to stay on the back deck all day and watch the birds from the Arcadia Marsh pass through the backyard. The kitchen is well equipped, and it was great to have the use of a gas grill. The house is very comfortable, and beautifully decorated.

Great family vacation

What a beautiful home on a breathtaking piece of property. My family, including two children and my mother-in-law, stayed here for a week in the summer. There was so much to do in the area, but the house and property were so nice, we wanted to spend a lot of time there. Pictures just don't do this home justice and Candy was a pleasure to do business with. The beach was private, we were usually the only ones there.

Very cute home with nice outdoor areas, and view of the Marsh. Several ways to get to Lake Michigan from Candy’s home. Home was clean, updated and supplied with the necessities. We had a relaxing stay and, had a baby with us. Sleeping Bear dunes just a short distance away. Candy is a great host.

Great house!

If you’re someone who has frequently chosen VRBO over hotels in your travels, it becomes apparent which properties are for rental purposes only and which ones are actual homes based on the furnishings. This is a home and it’s probably the nicest rental my family has had the pleasure of visiting. It is very well supplied and designed with comfort in mind. The decks are perfect for bird watching, sunning, or star gazing. Loved it.

Great area and home

Very nice home . Host was very nice. Location very good and beautiful. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. Home very clean. Could use a k cup coffee maker. Has no air ,but has plenty of fans . Has no dishwasher. Otherwise very comfortable place. Nice jetted tub! And maybe more info on the T.V.,has plenty to chose from,however operation unclear,but we managed to watch a good Movie on Netflix. Also you are right by M-22, but once in the house you couldn't here the traffic.

Perfection

This home was spotless. Check-in was super easy. The home is spacious, peaceful, quiet, and private and exactly as described. It had everything we could want or need. The upstairs bathroom is huge and beautiful. The outdoor space is gorgeous with a nice view of the nature preserve. I sat out there alot just watching and listening. We went to the nearby beach, nearby hiking trails, nearby scenic overlook and drove up 22 to see some beautiful places. We stayed four nights and were extremely comfortable. Our dog seemed to love the place and was very comfortable. Candy was gracious enough to let us bring her and we are very grateful. I highly recommend and would love to come back and stay here again!
