The apartment was beautifully decorated and roomy! I brought too much with us because everything we needed was there. Already considering another stay this fall with my sister!

We really enjoyed ourselves here. It is relatively close to lake Michigan and the Platte River. They had everything that you can imagine for the kitchen and bathroom. All your needs will be met including some good books, games and videos. Thankful the Lord gave us this 'Blessing'!

The Blessing

Slightly hesitant at first due to owners on site but it was overall quiet and private. Many nice touches, clean, and nicely decorated. We will definitely return!

Weekend stay for Frankfort 70.3 triathlon

I was so impressed with this property. Very clean and quiet environment. It was close to my event which made it easy to go back and forth. This property was very well thought out with everything you could think of needing for a comfortable stay. I would recommend this property to friends and family and would consider staying here again in the future.

The host was very welcoming. When we arrived, the wind was very strong and bitter cold. The host had the fireplace going to allow us to warm up quickly in the cozy apartment. The kitchen was well stocked for us to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner. It was very convenient to have the grocery store just down the road for last minute items. The kitchen table was more than ample size for the 6 of us and all the Thanksgiving fixings. Great experience overall.

A Blessing

So impressed with my first ever experience staying in a rental. Everything from the furnishings, color's and cleanliness and the owners were top notch. The only thing I would suggest is the walkway to the basement rental be updated as I had a bit of trouble navigating my way down.

Great weekend getaway

The place was very clean and organized. Floors literally looked clean enough to eat off of. Very impressive. There was a nice amount of space to spread out. We had everything we could've wanted in the kitchen. There was a nice selection of movies, books and games. We didn't have time to use them but it was nice to have the option. The beds were clean and came with lots of bedding and blankets. The mattress was firmer then we are used to but it was ok, not everyone has the same preferences with beds. We were a little leary about sharing a house with the owners but it worked out just fine for our family. We did meet the owner when we arrived but that was the only time we saw her. Other than that we could hear some movement and the tv upsatirs but it was in no way a disturbance. Overall the stay was great and we would visit again if we were in the area.
