Spectacular Lake Michigan views make this small cottage irresistible to vacationers. Tucked beside a hill, on the top of a wooded bluff, the low-profile, three-bedroom getaway gives you and your guests a Pure Northern Michigan experience. Watch sunsets, big waves and changing seasons on the lake from the living room's picture window. A steep descent takes you to your more than 700 feet of private, sandy Lake Michigan frontage. This is a perfect, three-season retreat for artists and writers needing quiet inspiration. The bedrooms are small, the natural fireplace seems large and there are numerous built-in cabinets for storage that help impart a mini Frank-Lloyd-Wright ambiance. The retro kitchen oozes charm with its decades-old, workhorse oven and Formica counters and backsplash in like-new condition. More storage is available in the walkout partial basement. If it's all too Hobbit-like for you and yours, renovate the space or begin anew and build your dream home. Located on the Benzie/Manistee county line, just south of the famous Scenic Overlook and two miles north of Arcadia on M-22. Arcadia is a birdwatcher's destination, with Lake Arcadia and miles of hiking trails to the north and south. The renowned Arcadia Bluffs golf course is a few miles south.
