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.

BEACHES, GOLF & OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Enjoy miles of beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline just a short distance from the home. Golfers will appreciate being less than a mile from Arcadia Bluffs and Arcadia South, while outdoor enthusiasts can explore kayaking on Portage and Bear Lakes, hiking along the North Country Trail, and the natural beauty of nearby Manistee National Forest.

The home is also within driving distance of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and historic downtown Manistee, making it a great home base for exploring everything Northern Michigan has to offer.

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.

The place was great! It is as advertised! Such a quiet area, and only 1500ft from Lake Michigan! And don’t forget to fill your water bottle from old Facefull an artisan well that had been running for over 100 years! Plus it’s 10mins from the Arcadia golf courses!
