Relaxing Family Vacation Home Steps from Lake Michigan Beaches, Golf, and Fun.

Welcome to our charming country home in the historic Pierport Beach area, just 1500 feet from the pristine shores of Lake Michigan with miles of sandy beach. Nestled on three peaceful acres, this getaway offers the perfect blend of comfort and nature. Enjoy stunning dark sky views at night, ideal for stargazing.

The home sleeps six and is equipped with modern amenities, including laundry machines, a dishwasher, air conditioning, and ceiling fans for your convenience. Relax on the spacious screened-in back porch overlooking the property or lounge on the large front and rear porches. Unwind by the fire pit in the evenings after a day of adventure.

Perfectly located, you’re less than a mile from the renowned Arcadia Bluffs and Arcadia South golf courses, close to Portage and Bear Lakes for kayaking, and just a short drive from the scenic North Country Trail, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and historic downtown Manistee. In the fall, experience breathtaking tree colors in nearby Manistee National Forest, and in the winter, enjoy snowmobiling, snowboarding, skiing, and ice fishing in the area.

“Nestled in a tranquil dark sky area, the property offers an unparalleled view of the night sky, free from the glow of urban lights. Armed with a high-powered telescope, stargazing becomes a breathtaking journey through the cosmos. On clear nights, the Milky Way stretches like a luminous ribbon across the horizon, while planets, distant galaxies, and nebulae reveal themselves in striking detail. The crisp, unobstructed sky allows for deep exploration of celestial wonders, from the craters of the moon to the glowing rings of Saturn, creating a serene and awe-inspiring connection to the universe.”

This is the perfect year-round destination for relaxation, adventure, and making lasting memories.
