Fantastic home in a quiet community right near the big lake. House was extremely clean and all furniture and amenities were like new. Located a short 10-minute drive into Frankfort, or 30 minutes up the coast to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor. Kids loved the on-site fire pit and ability to walk down to the beach. Host was super communicative and helpful in answering questions about the house and nearby activities. 10/10 - highly recommend!
