Bright summer home on Lake Arcadia

You can't get much closer to both lake Arcadia and Lake Michigan. This bright and clean two bedroom summer home is just across the street from a marina on Lake Arcadia and less than a 1/4 mile to the beautiful sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. No A/C since it’s so close to the lake. The location is amazing if you like water and beautiful sunsets. The house is a very tight and solid 1950s ranch home with old charm and modern upkeep. Perfect for a family or a small group of friends. Open living room dining room and kitchen area can accommodate a small gathering. Hardwood installed hardwood floors in the kitchen and living room. There is NO AC, only heat, so please open windows and use the fans if you get warm. The place is on the lake, so it is often 5-10 degrees cooler than inland during the summer. Two full bedrooms with a full bathroom on the main floor can accommodate 4-6 guests depending on your sleeping arrangements. 2nd utility bathroom in the basement also available. The living room has a large sectional and couch to seat 9 easily. Newly purchased entertainment system with HDTV, receiver, AppleTV, blue ray, and premium speakers is available for those times when you want to stream music or watch Netflix after a day on the beach. High speed Wifi internet available. Clean full basement with fireplace, laundry, and a second utility bathroom and shower, a love seat and chairs. Bonus ping pong table downstairs if you want to have a late night tournament...not that it has ever happened before... there is also a small weight and exercise bench. Main house and basement. Use of the garage if desired for extended stays. The back patio and grill are also available for cookouts. Remember to turn off gas and clean up the grill after you are done. Sheets, towels, and full kitchen are available. Please leave it clean and fully equipped for the next guest or for me when I visit from Boston. :) The back corner of the basement has tools and storage and guests are asked to not enter that space. I live in Boston and will only likely send messages or respond to phone calls. My sister and parents live nearby and will be available for arrivals, departure, and urgent needs. Very quiet small town. It is busier in the summer months with a few town celebrations. Most of the time, you have the entire beach to yourself for a morning run or a small beach fire at night. The marina and campground is quiet and only frequented by long term guests. There is a restaurant and bar as well as a great coffee and ice cream shop on M-22. You need your feet or a bike to get around the town. A car is essential if you want to go shopping for food or visit the other local coastal towns of Frankfort, Onekama, or an hour drive to Traverse City for large malls. We hope you treat our summer home as you would your own. Use it, relax, invite a friend, and treat it with care. We love it and would be there year round if we could. Shoes are left at the door and sand gets washed off your feet with a hose before you enter to preserve the new wood floors. DO NOT turn the fan on for the AC, it is set to Auto and will turn on when there is heat. Otherwise I get $400 electric bills...and that doesn’t make me happy! Too bad I get paid a lot more to work in Washington, DC...or I would be here all year and you would be out of luck! Entertainment system. Samsung HDTV is connected to a Sony receiver which controls and connects an Apple TV and a BlueRay player. The sound comes out of two tower speakers. Turn on the tv, receiver, and select your source with the Sony receiver. If you use the Apple TV, remember to log out of Netflix, and the Apple Store before you leave so the next person doesn't accidentally charge or use your accounts.
