Indulge yourself in a truly special vacation to Frankfort in this rustic sanctuary on the emerald blue waters of Lake Michigan. The expansive wraparound deck is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or entertain guests in the evening while watching the sunset. The wood finishings make this home feel like a cabin in the woods, yet the modern amenities and close proximity to town give you all of the comforts of home. Make anything from a midnight snack to a complex dinner in the fully equipped kitchen complete with a breakfast bar. The main level of the home offers two bedrooms, the master bedroom with a queen bed and a second bedroom with two twins. The other two bedrooms are located upstairs offering a double bed and a queen bed. The wood-burning fireplace is perfect for cooler nights, so cozy up and crack open your favorite novel at night to wind down.

What's nearby:
Though you won't want to leave this paradise, head down to the water and take a dip or lounge on the sand for a day of tanning. The Point Betsie Lighthouse is also nearby offering museum exhibits and a unique view of the lake. For a quick hike in the summer or a cross country ski trail in the winter, head over to Old Indian Trail and make your way to the dunes. For a day of skiing, Crystal Mountain is a great place for all experience levels and is only a 30-minute drive east.

Beautiful Views
Loved the views from almost every room and the deck was wonderful. Dated interior but we don’t care it was clean and comfortable and the price is right especially for the beautiful neighborhood, views and proximity to a lot fun things to do. Want to book for next fall!

Quick Stay
The property is charming but definitely dated! It has that lovely rustic cabin feel. There are beach views, but no access without driving to the public beach or to nearby parks. Beautiful property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy home overlooking Lake Michigan. As others have noted, the view from the deck is stunning and it's just a short drive to the secluded private beach below. The clear waters of Crystal Lake are also just a few minutes away, along with the cute hamlet of Frankfort, Sleeping Bear Dunes, the Platte River, and a host of other scenic locations that offer a full menu of summertime fun and relaxation. Although somewhat dated on the interior, the house was comfortable and everything was in working order. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

Spacious yet cozy
The high ceilings, wraparound deck, and panoramic lake views breathe so much life into this older home. We had both sunny days and overcast ones; no matter the weather, it was idyllic to be out on the huge deck looking out at the water, the stars, or the wildlife. Although we spent most of our visit over on Crystal Lake, everyone enjoyed morning walks around the golf course grounds. Much of the decor and appliances are dated, but they're still functional. We easily cooked a full dinner in the kitchen. That said, the newer updates are definitely appreciated: the updated bedroom linens are fresh and cheerful, the showerheads are great, and the new living room couch was very comfortable. We would politely suggest that, if updates continue, new mattresses would make a big difference. The current ones are quite old and firm (hence why someone slept on the couch).
