What's changed
The property formerly known as Pleasant Valley Motel has been thoughtfully renovated and rebranded as The Arcadia at Pleasant Valley Resort. We're at the same address — 17229 Northwood Highway, Arcadia, MI 49613 — and many of the things people loved are still here: the quiet, the views, the value, the proximity to Lake Michigan and Arcadia Bluffs.
What's new: refreshed interiors across every cabin and lodge room, an outdoor hot tub and sauna, a pickleball court, complimentary bikes, a private fire pit area, and large-group options including a Barndominium with a private game room and a 3-bedroom house.
What stayed the same
