About this property

Peaceful Hilltop Retreat located in Frankfort City limits. New pictures soon!

This charming 4 bedroom home located on a private 3 acre hilltop retreat. Your space includes 4 bedrooms (1 king bed, 2 queens, 1 full and 2 twin beds), a living room, family room, dining room, full kitchen and 2 1/2 baths. There is also a deck located off of the dining room and a concrete patio access to the lower level. You have access to a grill located right off the deck for your grilling enjoyment.

You'll have plenty of yard space for your favorite summer games and bonfires on the 3 acre parcel. Create your perfect up-north memories singing campfire songs and making s'mores around the firepit. This property is nestled among the hilltop trees and provides a night sky perfect for stargazing. Or, take a nice soak in the hot tub on those chilly northern evenings. During the day you can take advantage of the hilltop and coast down into town to shop Frankfort’s Main Street or stop to sip a cold beer from the local brewery. Don’t forget your time away is the perfect opportunity to relax with a good book as you soak up the sun at the beach 1.1 miles away. Create the perfect ending to your day as you grab ice cream from one of our local shops and stroll down Main Street to the beach for a spectacular sunset on Lake Michigan.

This property is also located near many local tourist attractions: Platte River known for it’s tubing and kayaking is a short 7 mile drive up M22. Leland County known for the Sleeping Bear National National Lakeshore and it’s many local wineries is 22 miles away. Traverse City, known as the Cherry Capital of the world, and its quaint downtown shopping area is 31 miles east of Frankfort. Crystal Mountain is 14 miles from here for summer golf or winter skiing. Driving south down M22 for 15 miles brings you to Arcadia Bluffs, a professionally renowned golf course, on the bluffs of Lake Michigan. It's time for you to come north and enjoy some much needed down time! Please note that the upstairs is currently owner occupied. There is an interior door that is locked and separates the upper level from the lower level space that provides you complete privacy.

Wonderful accommodations.

We had a great time. Amy and Chris were fantastic hosts, and Abby (the dog) was lots of fun! Very clean, very accessible to anything you want to do in Frankfort or surrounding area. The hot tub was amazing, as was the view! We will be back.

Wonderful stay, clean rooms at beautiful location

The home is impeccably decorated and clean. It is like staying at home. We could not have been happier. Communication for even the trivialist of matters was promptly and perfect addressed. We made reservations next year without hesitating. Thanks so much Amy and Chris!

Perfect for the triathlon weekend!

I raced Michigan 70.3 in Frankfurt and travelled with my wife and our toddler and baby, and my parents. The space was perfect for the six of us. Close enough to the activities in town that we could walk, but far enough away that it was quiet and relaxing. Really neat setting up on the hill above town. Chris and Amy were great hosts!

Amazing

Visiting from Texas, and unable to stay at our family Crystal lake home this year, this property was the perfect substitute! Everything was just as described and all in great condition and a perfect location! The hot tub and and fire pit made for memorable evenings at home when we weren't going out to Point Bestie lighthouse or Frankfort restaurants. Easy trips to Crystal lake beaches and other nearby attractions made for a very satisfying vacation! Amy and Chris were very accommodating hosts and this was overall a great stay!

A Nice Stay!

Amy and Chris were very friendly, and their goldendoodle Abby is adorable! The rental is located in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. It's nicely decorated, and well stocked with games, brochures of local attractions, and has HBO. The one drawback is the mattress on the queen bed... It is very uncomfortable, and really should be replaced. Aside from that, we give a 9 out of 10.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Oberski

Host profile image
My husband, Chris, and I moved north from Monroe, Michigan in 2006. We love living in Frankfort - our small town. I teach middle school science for Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools. Chris is the Corporate Quality Manager for Graceland Fruit also right here in town. We have raised our 3 sons, who have all graduated from Frankfort High School, and are currently "empty nesters". We love where we live and love to share the experience with others!

What makes this property unique

Our home is located on a hill overlooking Betsie Lake. We are fortunate to have our home situated on a very private 3 acre parcel right in the city limits. We have great views from our property all 4 seasons!
