About this property
Enjoy a view of Betsie Bay from your studio suite a block from Lake Michigan
Located in Frankfort a block from Lake Michigan, Serendipity House offers five charming suites just steps from the beach. The Betsie Suite is 245 square feet and perfect for two adults or families with small children. Pack your beach gear and head right to enjoy Lake Michigan's beaches and spectacular sunsets. Cross the street to start biking the 22-mile Betsie Valley Bike Trail. Or head left to enjoy downtown Frankfort's unique shops and restaurants.
Then come back for hiking or driving through the autumn colors; winter downhill and cross-country skiing; and the trillium and morels awakening to spring in the area forests.
With five separate suites, we're well-suited for wedding parties, family reunions or sharing vacations with friends.
We're listing the Betsie Suite; but if the dates you'd like are not available, we invite you to check out one of our other suites: Manitou #180215; Nannybird #186194; Lakeview #188035; or Sandune #185719.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sarah Bannister McCallum
My father, Tim Bannister got into innkeeping accidentally, when his stepfather surprised his mother with the purchase of Sunset Resort; a motel and 12 cottages in Arcadia in the 1960's. It was a long, colorful and rocky road until the resort was sold off in 2007, but Tim learned a great deal as an innkeeper ad decided to build off that experience. We are continuing with our family tradition today.
Why they chose this property
We are close to everything! One block from Lake Michigan and one block from charming downtown Frankfort. Built in 1890, the house has a long history as an inn, going back to its hosting of the workers who built the nearby Frankfort Pier. Pierside Lodgings had been a bed-and-breakfast that closed in 2005 and Tim purchased the property in 2007.
What makes this property unique
Today, Serendipity House is a one-of-a-kind inn, tailored to vacationers who want a unique experience. Situated on Main Street, the inn recalls earlier times when residents called out greetings to passersby from their front porch. Serendipity House has the porch, as well as updated living space with the amenities for vacationers who enjoy something unique.
