About this property
White Birch - Riverfront and Newly-Remodeled! Great Location!
White Birch is a beautifully-remodeled 3-bedroom 2-bath ranch-style home on the Betsie River as it winds into Elberta, Michigan, just across the bay from Frankfort.
The home is located in a private setting, backing up to the Betsie River. Shops and restaurants in Frankfort are just a short bike ride or 5 minute drive away.
This home is a lovely hub for your Michigan adventures, whether you plan to relax at home, explore outside, or enjoy strolling bars, restaurants, and ice cream parlors.
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
Our local property manager lives in the area and is available to address any issues as needed.

Enjoy hiking or biking the Betsie Valley Trail, a 22 mile path connecting nearby nature areas and towns. You’ll also find canoeing, fishing, and kayaking in the area.
