Cottage vacation rentals in Arcadia

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

Linda's place was everything we could have wanted and more. It was the perfect cozy cabin, so close to our planned activities, nice and quiet/peaceful, and well stocked with anything we could need. Linda was very understanding and a great host. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!!

We had an amazing stay! The space was exactly as described - clean, stylish, and cozy. It was an ideal location, close enough to shops, restaurants, and trails, but still tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. Would recommend!

I went to Michigan to compete in the Ironman 70.3 in Frankfort and this place was perfect! It has plenty of beds/ sofa options and was big enough to host a family pasta dinner! Great location right in town in Beulah we could walk to restaurants and shops! And it ended up being only 15 minutes from the race which was great! Grocery stores were an easy 5 minute drive as well.

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.

The cottage was beautiful! With the lake outside the back door, and several outdoor spaces to relax in, this home would be a blast in the summer. We enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub, and the cozy spots inside during a snow storm. It was perfect getaway, and look forward to coming back!

A True Slice of Heaven! We had such an incredible stay at Slice of Heaven! The property is absolutely beautiful — private, peaceful, and perfectly set up for a relaxing getaway. The main home was spotless and cozy, and the extra rental RV added such a fun and unique touch with extra space for our group. The views were stunning, especially from the private beach and dock. We loved having access to the kayaks and paddleboards — it made our time on the water even more memorable. The thoughtful amenities like robes, towels, water shoes, and more made it feel like a luxury retreat. Dan was very responsive and helpful, especially when we had a small issue with the RV’s tank system — he made sure we were taken care of quickly. The only thing I wish could have been better was the check-in and check-out times. It would’ve been great to have a bit more flexibility, as our check-in felt quite late and check-out came too soon. Still, that’s a small detail in an otherwise perfect stay.

I loved this Airbnb! It was a perfect size and was beautiful. Super close to town yet still felt like we had a quiet neighborhood to stay in as well. Our host was the sweetest and communicated so well with us. If I ever need to come back to lake city, I would love to stay here again!

Always our favorite stay! Robert’s place is just as he describes. Clean. Close to everything. Very responsive. Perfect for our family or 4!

Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

We had a truly magical stay at Rob’s place in the woods. Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect escape. The house is just a short 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach.The house itself was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. While the walk up to the house involves a bit of a climb—which could be challenging for someone with bad knees—it didn’t bother us. The living room and bedrooms were spacious and relaxing, and we had no issues with the well water during our stay. The kitchen is in a separate building from the main living space, which took a little getting used to, but it was well-equipped for all our needs. One suggestion would be to upgrade the electric stove, which felt a bit outdated and at times posed some safety concerns. The electric grill also looks quite old and could use a deep clean, but it still worked well enough for us to grill all of our meals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled escape.

Thank you again for wonderful accommodations. This was our second stay at Owl & Anchor and it was even better than the first stay. The host is very thoughtful and the rental is stocked so well with any items needed. The weather did not allow us to kayak as planned since it was very windy but we made the best of our time and it was nice to have the extra throw blankets to toss over our laps on the chilly evenings. There are plenty of games to keep busy with when the weather does not cooperate and the cottage is super comfortable for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake.

I would absolutely recommend the wet nest to anybody. Tracey was an amazing host and always in contact with me on everything. the place was exactly like it was described and we had an incredible time. thank you, Tracey

very beautiful and peaceful place. the view of the lake. I wish it would of been a better weather weekend. would really love to take my dog swimming. very dog friendly place. would stay again. thank you again for an awesome weekend

Elise was a wonderful host! We have loved visiting Frankfort every year, and usually camp nearby. This year, at 34wks pregnant, their home was the comfortable space needed for a quick weekend getaway. The home was located so perfectly in Frankfort, and was a short drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes. We could enjoy walks downtown and by Lake Michigan, but we’re never too far from the coziness of the home. The home was clean, well taken care of, and so cozy to stay in.

Great little cottage, when the dock gets removed/replaced/repaired,this place will be a fisherman’s dream. Very comfortable, perfect location for our two man fishing trip. Close to boat launch, and easy to get out of town to other spots too. Drive is a little tight to back in with boat, but ally directly across from drive helps a lot. Beautiful views ALL day long! 20th yearly fishing trip to Manistee, and this was my favorite stay, we’ll be back here again if available for our schedule next year.

We had a great stay (just my wife and I) plus our old dog Polly. The place was perfect. Very quiet surroundings, wonderful peaceful atmostphere inside and the best place to hang out in the evening and mornings was the outdoor covered deck. This place had everything we were looking for and more. I highly recommend it. We only used on of the three bedrooms that were available but regardless of the number of people staying it share a large open living space that was just what we needed for our gathering purposes. Thank you Terry for sharing your place with us! ~Tom/Ana/Polly

We had a wonderful stay. I grew up on Big Platte Lake, so it was wonderful to share the memories, scenery, and great food with girlfriend. Thank you so much to our hosts, Javier and Virginia.

This was an absolute stunning place to stay! We enjoyed being on the lake and it felt cozy inside the home. Sleeping bear dunes was close. I’d definitely book a stay here again.

Stephanie was great to work with and very accommodating. Wish the TV had more than just streaming as we enjoy watching local programming/news. Place was very clean and well kept. Had everything we needed. We would stay again.

Mary is an amazing hostess whom is very kind, responsive, and drama-free. This house has AMAZING energy, an en-suite downstairs and another upstairs, while there is a kitchen/living room, deck, 100% private grounds, etc. The beautiful lake is literally just feet away, and this location has tons of shops, restaurants, fuel stations, etc., within walking distance, as well as very short driving distance. I highly recommend this home.

Great location and very respectable community with a lot of options for activities!
