About this property

Enjoy the breezes from the Lake Michigan beach while relaxing on the front porch of this charming old home just steps away from the water.

This house is set up to allow your relatives to vacation with you without getting on your nerves!

The downstairs unit sleeps eight in three bedrooms. Two bedrooms each contain a queen-sized bed, while the other room accommodates four in a queen-sized bed and a set of bunk beds. A well-appointed kitchen enables you to entertain in the spacious dining room or barbecue in the lush garden area in back.

The upstairs unit sleeps four in two bedrooms. One bedroom contains a queen bed, while the other bedroom allows for flexibility: it's outfitted with two twin beds and can be used in this fashion, or you can push the twin beds together to form a perfectly level king sized bed. Mattress pads and bedspreads are provided for both configurations. The upstairs unit features a comfy living area, a charming kitchen and a private, shady deck overlooking the back garden.

The Beach Breeze Cottage is located on a beautiful, tree-lined street in downtown Frankfort, a beach town known for its restaurants, ice cream shops, and colorful surfing culture. Walk the beach for hours, on the other hand, and feel that you've escaped to God's country. This location has it all!

Guests must provide their own sheets and towels. Everything else is at hand. No need to bring toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing detergent or other cleaning supplies.

Call or email for more information. Reduced rates for groups of six or less. See our listing for #1905028 for pricing and availability of the upstairs unit by itself. It's available for several weeks this summer.

Comfortable stay

We were in the area for the Sleeping Bear Dunes marathon. We had plenty of room in the house for sleeping and hanging out to play games and talk. Kathleen was an excellent communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this home.

Easy Breezy!

Wonderful property, fantastic location, perfect host. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Loved all the thoughtful touches—such a cute place, super clean everything, great beds. It’s the whole package. Grateful for the hospitality! Oh, and the deck was the best part! We brought our own cafe-style lights (we always bring them!) and sat and caught up with friends and family from out of town. Loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Campbell

Kathy is a retired school librarian and Bob is an architect who is still actively designing outstanding homes. This house is his favorite project! Every year we upgrade or add something. Because we love to travel, we understand the kinds of amenities our tenants appreciate.

Why they chose this property

Being life-long Michiganders, it was our dream to have our own place on Lake Michigan.
When we found this house available in 2005, we couldn't believe our luck. Although it needed lots and lots of work, we've persevered and transformed it into the perfect place to stay. It's just a few steps from the beach, but it's in an outstanding little town where you can walk to the restaurants, brewery, library, post office and grocery store. It's also close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, one of the most notable National Park locations in the country.

What makes this property unique

The house is a flat, with a downstairs and an upstairs. Each has its own separate entrance, living room, bathroom and kitchen, as well as a porch or deck. A young family can stay downstairs, and grandpa and grandma can have their own adult space upstairs. Vacation with your family and still be talking to them at the end of the week!
