We had a wonderful time in Frankfort staying in this beautiful home! It was both private and close to everything. The home was spacious, peaceful, and comfortable. It was the perfect spot for a family vacation.

Thank you Mendy! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! We hope that you will consider us again in the future!
We really had a wonderful trip. The property was absolutely beautiful and the view was outstanding! The only recommendation would be having access to a washer and dryer. I strongly recommend this property and look forward to coming back.

Hi Josh!
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate your thoughts on the washer and dryer. You may be surprised to hear that you are actually the first renter to make that suggestion! Just so you know we have chosen not to have our laundry room accessible because this is our private residence that we live in from September - May and we have concerns over potential issues that may arise with renters use. If you were to return to our Hilltop Retreat we would gladly provide information on the local laundry mat - which is only a few blocks from the house. I’m hoping your vacation was filled with loads of fun and sun! ☀️

Great spot for a Frankfort getaway. Amy and Chris were wonderful hosts.
My family and I loved our stay in Frankfort and definitely plan on a return trip. Amy and Chris were perfect hosts and the property was extremely comfortable. We really enjoyed Frankfort and all the M22 towns that are easily accessible from the location. Thanks for a great week

Thank you Dan! It’s a true pleasure to host your crew! So glad you returned for a second stay! It’s always fun to see your fishing haul! Please keep us in mind for your 2026 fishing trip!
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.

Thanks Carmen you and your family were awesome guests to host! We look forward to hosting you again!
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!

Thank you Andrew! Great job finishing the race! We would love to host you and your family again!!
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!

Thank you Daniel! We look forward to hosting you and your crew next August!
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!

Thank you Steven! We really enjoyed hosting you and your family! You are welcome back any time! Safe travels back to Texas!
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.

Hi Doug!
So glad you enjoyed your stay! We will definitely look into replacing the mattress! Thank you for your input!
Update: the mattress and box springs have been replaced with a new set from our local store - Betsie Bay Furniture!

About the host
Hosted by Amy Oberski
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. We live in our home from September through May and rent it during the summer months. We love sharing the “up north” 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!
