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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95840000/95834600/95834537/64a0b3e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious home <1 mile from Crystal Mountain & Betsie River - Pet Friendly!

Sep 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Property as listed with lots of room for more family. Host provided so much more than expected - even fresh eggs! Well thought out provisions for kitchen, entertainment, even adventure. LOVED location…..sunsets on beach, MILLIONS of stars, quiet solitude, deer wanderings in evenings. Definitely want to come back to enjoy again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46c86ae8-3788-41b4-a057-672f730d6452-1758986940850.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kaylene B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug N. Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing The property was perfect for our family. It was very comfortable for reading, movies, or enjoying the wooded yard. The beach was close and just a short drive or walk. It was great to have biking and hiking trails nearby. We would definitely return. ##### Doug N.
