About this property

Outdoor Adventures Awaits You and Your Family - Part of Blissful Vacations

**Please read over the whole description to decide if this is the place for you. We don’t want people to be disappointed if our place is not for them and aim for a great review. *** Also, please talk with your family and friends before inquiring about certain weeks so we can continue to offer great customer service to people who are serious and who have booked with us. When everyone is on board we would love to talk with you about renting this property.

If you're looking for a vacation rental this summer we have the place for you. Located in between Platte Lake and Crystal lake lies my 1000 SQ ft home. It is a 2 bedroom one bath house on a half acres surrounded by tall tree. The second bedroom also has a custom built loft for the kids or adults who think they are kids still. Below that is a full size bed. The master bedroom has a queen size bed. There is a brand new laundry room also available for your use.

We are 4 hours away from the Detroit Metro area and a couple hours away from Grand Rapids. Beulah has a lot to do from boating, fishing, swimming, biking, 4-wheeling, sight seeing, etc. If you have a ski boat, bring it and you can take it to Platte Lake a mile from the house or Crystal Lake minutes away. We are also not far away from Platte River or the Betsie river for Trout and Salmon fishing, kayaking or canoeing. If you're lucky, you might also get to see the deer that live in the backyard. There is also a lot of other wildlife that visit the house. We are minutes away from the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. We also have a play structure for the children and a fire pit for those summer nights.

The house is only 15 minutes away from Downtown Frankfort, 10 mintues from Beulah, 30 minutes from Glen Arbor, 50 minutes from the world famous Fishtown and 40 minutes away from Traverse City.

Other noteworthy places to visit or use within 45 minutes is Crystal Mountain and Manistee.

We go to this property to unwind and unplug from the outside world. There is no WiFi or cable. We do have a tv with a dvd and vcr for those rainy days. There is DVDs and videos. There is also a Roku available to connect to your cell phone. I only recommend this if you have unlimited internet. Board games are in the laundry room.

If you need a fishing guide, we can help you with that. Or, if you just want to go for a boat ride, we have the boats. Look up Chrome Seekers Sportfishing. Book your vacation with us and receive 10% off any of our 3 person river trips or 4 person Great Lake trips. Custom trips are available if booked ahead of time.

Things to remember:

Bath essential
beach towels
meals
fishing poles and gear
extra lawn chairs
bikes
cameras
water toys
Favorite games
your own boat/water skies/tubes

Please note that this house is in a rural area, in a very small, quiet community.

After booking through Vrbo, you will be required to sign a completed terms and agreement with the Shady Hangout. This is a seperate business from Vrbo and not associated with them.

Last thing is we hire a house cleaner after every renter to insure that the house is in great condition for the next renter. This is non-negotiable.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Marci Stewart

Host profile image
Hello,

Thank you for checking out my vacation home. Up north has always captivated me. I have been driving up north to fish and hunt since the early 2000's. I run a fishing guide service on the Big Manistee river and Pere Marquette river. I also run a charter business which is one reason I moved here for part of the year. During some of the summer I work on Lake St Clair and Detroit river running charters. I also am a property manager for my parent cottage rental on the east side of the state in Hale, Mi. I am working on creating a business offering Outdoor Recreation such as fishing, camping and vacation rentals to people who need to ralax and get away from the cities and stress of every day life. I really hope you enjoy what I have created and create those memories that last forever. If I can help you in anyways, even if your not using my services, please send me a message.

Why they chose this property

With a business degree in Outdoor Recreation I started looking for a 9-5 job. After many years of looking and getting rejected, I decided to start a guide service. I was driving from down state every weekend to take people fishing. With business growing I finally decided to purchase a home for me when I am not chasing fish around the state. This place is right between two awesome lakes to fish. To the west in the big pond, Lake Michigan.

This place is far enough away from Traverse City you still get that small town charm. The house has a open lay out inside and plenty of room to move around. The house sits on a half acre but with the piece of land behind me, it feels like it's really open. I have a few neighbors. Besides the one next to me, it still feels like you have some seclusion and your not on top of each other like a lake house.

What makes this property unique

This property is in the center of it all and is far enough away from Traverse that you still get that small town feel. This home is minutes away from the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Close to Platte Lake, Crystal Lake, Lake Michigan, the Platte river, Betsie river, Beulah, benzonia, this place has it all for an outdoorsman and his family. Frankfort is a 20 minute drive. Other mentions are Leland, Crystal Mountain, Glen Arbor
