About this property

This nearly original, historic cottage has been described as "A Rustic Wooden Tent" by some and as "Shabby Chic" by others. If you love nature and the minimalistic beauty of life this is the camp for you.

This eclectic, creek side camp has natural waterway access to lower herring lake and lake Michigan. Get ready to enjoy epic Walleye, Brook, Brown, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead) and possibly Coho Salmon fishing. Don't forget about the biking, hiking, lounging, and relaxing with nature. There is conservancy land, and a public boat launch a stones throw away. You can even end your day with a peaceful campfire at our fire pit over looking the creek.

Cozy cabin in ideal location

5 adult sisters and our mom stayed for a fun weekend in Frankfort. This cabin appears tiny at first but with the back sleeping porch and the front dining porch, it was plenty of space for 6 adults. Fantastic location with a pretty stream/brook in the backyard. 5 minutes from downtown Frankfort and 10 minutes from Arcadia. Beautiful beaches nearby, and everyone who looked for a petoskey stone found 1 or more.

Lower Herring

It was great. My kids loved sleeping on the porch, and my husband loved kayaking to the Lake Michigan inlet.

We enjoyed our stay at this serene little cottage a few steps to beautiful Lower Herring Lake lake and right on a beautiful little stream. Everything we needed was provided, including wood for a fire in the fire pit. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway.

Relaxing and Comfortable Stay

We really loved sleeping on the porch with the door open and listening to the river. We got spooked a couple times when a critter decided that a late night swim sounded nice LOL! We recommend trying Papanos Pizza as well!!
