Ski trip

Would love to see this house in the summer. Great space for multiple families. Wish there was more comfortable seating in the living area but it worked. About 20 min from Crystal. Love that is is dog friendly. Would definitely book again.

Quiet and peaceful

The property was exactly as described. My husband, dog and I had a very nice stay. There are many orchards and trails near by. The Arcadia bluffs were beautiful. The pontoon was so fun and a nice experience. The property is beautiful and relaxing. I only wish there had been some restaurants near by.

Ski weekend!

We just returned from an awesome girls ski weekend getaway. The house was perfect for our group of 8. Only 15 mins to Crystal Mountain. It was clean, and well maintained. The property owner provided lots of great info in the binders that were on the table. Perfect location and property for a winter weekend getaway!

Very nice house, ideal for large families!

This a very nice decorated and furnished house. Space full environments, with indoor and outdoor games for kids and good movies available for grownups. Large kitchen and well equipped. There is a lake connected to the backyard, during winter ideal for ice fishing. Quite neighbourhood, ideal for escaping the routine and noisy cities. 100% recommended!

Great ski weekend

Our group had 4 adults and 6 children and we had plenty of room. Kitchen is big, beds are comfortable and there was lots of space to stretch out. Game room/bedroom was perfect for my 3 teen boys. Upstairs shower isn’t the best, and I wish they had more comfortable couches and a mop available to clean up melted snow that was tracked in. Other than that, place was great.

Cozy cottage for a group of adults near skiing

We wanted to rent a house close to Crystal Mountain that was dog friendly. This place is about 20 minutes to the mountain. If you are okay with being in the middle of nowhere, this is a nice place to hunker down in. We loved the Christmas tree upon walking in. Really cozy! We were six adults and the space was great for us; we spent 1/2 a day watching DVDs as the weather was not great. Just to note a few things: No internet/WiFi - bummer as you can’t use any streaming service on the tv. Wish the tv was larger, or at least outside the cupboard as it’s hard to see fully from all seats. You aren’t near much and the roads are dark and in bad weather it’s a bit sketch to drive. Just be careful. Come armed with everything you want to do, eat and drink as it’s a trek to go out to get something. Some nice add-ons would be a hot tub and fireplace - would be even cozier! Host was nice, communicative and friendly. We enjoyed spending three nights here for NYE.

Love, love, LOVE

Everything here was perfect. We stayed with a group of 11 from ages 1 to 82. The property was so private and well maintained. We loved being visited by the hummingbirds and deer. The yard worked great for the little ones with a slight hill to run down, sandbox and swingset, and lots of room to run. We brought a blow up pool for them to play in while we were not down at the lake. The boardwalk to the lake is so beautiful and the wheelbarrow made it easy to haul all of our fishing gear down to the pontoon. (Two of the families in our party have boats, and the having use of the pontoon was so nice so we did NOT have to tow and put in and out of the water). The lake is great lake to teach kids to fish. We did not have one time where we ventured out and did not catch fish. We caught perch, LOTS The inside of the house was so clean. The beds were comfy with lots of extra pillows and blankets if you were chilly. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some! Lots of room in the main area and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The area is beautiful. If you turn right out of the driveway, you will come to Scenic Highway. Turn left for a short drive to the lovely town of Frankfort (shops, restaurants and a Family Fare). Turn right to head to Arcadia. Both less than 15 minute drives. We hiked the Baldy Dune area as well as Green Pointe Dune Nature Preserve. Thank you for a wonderful family getaway!

Fall

This home is beautiful! It had plenty of room for our group 9(+2 dogs). I loved how clean the home was. The owners had 3 binders with information about the area, the property and the boat. Yes, there was a pontoon available. Unfortunately the weather was rather crappy so we didn't get a chance to try it out. I would 100% recommend this property.

Great ski weekend

Staying in Arcadia was close to Crystal Mountain and nature preserve skiing. The wind didn’t cooperate for kite skiing on the lake. However it was a lovely weekend and the property provided everything we needed.

Perfect get away spot

We stayed at this property for a combined Thanksgiving/50th anniversary party for my parents and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly. Plenty of space for everyone and the large kitchen worked great for cooking the big dinner. Some of the kids were a little apprehensive about not having wifi but with the all the games in the kids room, I don't think it was missed at all. It was November so not beach weather but we still enjoyed adventuring down to check out the lake during an early season snow storm. Even with the cold weather, the house stayed very warm and cozy. Would love to come back!

Family Time

My husband and I rented The Farm House in Arcadia for a family vacation. Our son and daughter-in-law, our 17year old grandson and 5 year old grand daughter and our daughter. Everyone had their own space. There are beautiful beaches, cute little towns to explore, and family friendly venues for dining outside. We fished, swam, explored, hiked and had a great time.

May visit

The house was very clean and comfortable, with lots of amenities. The location was also peaceful. This allowed for an enjoyable stay. Nice boardwalk to the water, play structure/sandbox for younger children, charcoal grill, kayaks, pontoon, fire pit. Also not far from downtown Frankfort. Would recommend.

Very smooth process

We had need of a large house for 8 adults and 3 children for two nights to attend my father’s Celebration of Life service and this house was perfect. Five minutes from the church and two minutes from the cemetery. The young adults were wishing there was WiFi, but overall it was a fantastic experience.
