This 4-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse style home is a thoughtfully designed recreation of a classic Northern Michigan farmhouse, built in 2006 and set on 2.5 private acres along Upper Herring Lake. With 140 feet of private water frontage and a quiet country setting, this home offers privacy, space, and a true up-north atmosphere. Surrounded by rolling hills, woodlands, orchards, and vineyards, the Farm House Cottage sits on a peaceful country road and provides plenty of elbow room for families and multi-generation groups. THE HOME This cozy yet spacious 2,200 square foot home features custom ceramic tile, wide plank flooring, detailed woodwork, an antique claw-foot tub, and Pottery Barn-style décor blended with antique and custom furnishings. The main great room includes an HD TV with Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it a comfortable gathering space after a day on the lake or the slopes. A game room with bunk beds features a foosball table, board games, an HD TV with Roku, and a PlayStation 2 with games. This space is ideal for kids, teens, and casual evening entertainment while allowing adults to enjoy quieter time in the great room. The layout is designed with family fun in mind, offering separate areas for adults and children so everyone has space to relax. THE LAKE AND LOCATION Upper Herring Lake is an all-sports lake that remains peaceful and uncrowded, making it ideal for boating, fishing, and relaxed lake days without heavy traffic. The home is just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches and the town of Frankfort, and is conveniently located near Crystal Mountain, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. It is an excellent home base for summer lake vacations, fall color tours, and winter ski trips. WATERFRONT ACCESS AND AMENITIES A short walk along a boardwalk through a protected natural area leads to the lakefront amenities. This path typically takes about two to three minutes for healthy adults and children. The home sits on a slight grade, so the walk back may take a bit longer for guests with mobility or health concerns. Lakefront amenities include a full dock with moorings for additional boats, a fire pit with chairs, a rope hammock, chaise lounges, and ample space to enjoy the shoreline. INCLUDED WATERCRAFT AND SEASONAL AMENITIES Included at no extra charge, seasonally available: Pontoon boat with 10 gallons of pre-mixed fuel Available Memorial Week through early October Floating foam aqua-play mat Available Memorial Week through Labor Day Week Kayaks Available May 1 through November 1 Row boat Available April 1 through November 15 Dock Available mid-May through November 1 The lake bottom is typical Northern Michigan soft sediment (mucky) near the shoreline. It is not sandy. ABOUT THE PONTOON BOAT As a free bonus for our summer guests, we offer the use of one of our pontoon boats. These boats are clean, well maintained, and functional. They range in size from 18 to 24 feet and are older models equipped with 25 to 35 hp two-stroke motors. They are well suited for relaxed sunset cruises and family fishing outings. Guests with basic boating knowledge and familiarity with two-stroke motors will enjoy them most. Full instructions and technical assistance are available if needed. Please see photos for a typical example of the pontoon boat. WHAT WE PROVIDE A starter supply of paper and soap products is provided and is typically sufficient for a two-night stay for smaller groups of two to four guests. For a complete list of what is provided and what to bring, please see “Using the Property” on your My Trip page.

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! ##### Wendy S.

Clean, organized, well stocked. Just like the pictures. The boat was such an added bonus. Our weather was iffy but we made the most of it. Just perfect. Many beautiful memories made. ##### Karla L.

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! ##### Melisa O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra A. 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Sandra A.

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. ##### Dalia M.

The wind didn’t cooperate for kite skiing on the lake. However it was a lovely weekend and the property provided everything we needed. ##### Abby R.

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! ##### Ben L.

Perfect for our family group of 6 adults and 2 children. We used pontoon boat and fished on the lake, hiked at Arcadia dunes, and visited St Ambrose cellars distillery. ##### Jane G.

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. ##### Arletha G.
