Centennial House was a great place for our family vacation! The space, with its large dining area, comfortable living room and sunroom seating, plus porches on both sides of the house, was great for hanging out together, The house is right near coffee shops, restaurants and breweries, yet the area wasn’t too loud or busy. We loved taking walks to the nearby beach and along the lake. Also, communication with the owner and property manager was easy and they were very responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend staying at Centennial House in Beulah!

The property was in a great location, close to downtown restaurants, shopping and extremely close to the lake. The fence yard was excellent for our children & pets. It was a short drive to Frankfort’s beautiful beach & the quaint downtown. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to be within walking distance to everything.

We loved the location of this house in downtown Beulah and frequently walked to places we wanted to go, even with a 2 year old as part of our group. The fenced front yard was lovely for the kids and we enjoyed watching the weather from the back porch. Our main issue with the house was the steepness of the stairs with two young children and people in their 60s. A railing on both side of the staircase would be welcome along with a gate to perhaps lock across the top of the staircase to prevent fall from the upper landing in the dark. WiFi was slow and spotty for us. I discussed with the greeter person that some regular cleaning on the outside of the house in the porch areas (lots of spider webs and dirt) and some basic landscaping annually around the front porch would be welcome. We would definitely stay again as members of the family really preferred staying in Beulah over Frankfort, where we’ve stayed in the past

We enjoyed our stay at the Centennial house, great location, easy access to town and the beach. Only downside was no AC , the first two nights were extremely hot upstairs. (But we knew this could be the case going in late summer .)

We have a 96 year old home, so it was fun comparing your home's layout and history to ours. We loved that it was pet friendly and had a fenced yard. Since it is fall, we can't say enough about the gorgeous maple tree in the front yard and the easy walks to town to get coffee or a pizza. THANK YOU for sharing your lovely, well appointed home!!
