Nice cottage on the lake was as described, very clean, well-stocked and the amenities were great. Excellent lake access with kayaks and other water toys provided. Location was 10-15 minutes to Beulah and Frankfort which was great for us. Beautiful lake views from the property. Overall, this property provided a great stay and a very enjoyable vacation.

Great family-friendly home in a great location on a quiet lake. Close to downtown Frankfort, Lake Michigan, and not far from Sleeping Bear Dunes. Kitchen is well stocked with a fantastic view of the lake from the dining area and living room. We would definitely stay here again!

The view of the lake- the comfort of the home- ( only thing I’d suggest is maybe another lamp in the sunken living room- home had more than enough space- beds were amazingly comfortable and did i mention the view of the lake-

Charming Lakefront Cabin

Great views and location! 6 adults were very comfortable at this property. I imagine it’s really wonderful in the Summer. We chose this cabin due to its proximity to Crystal Mountain and Caberfae for snow skiing!

Perfect cottage on a beautiful lake!

The Beach House has tons of space, two big bathrooms, a great kitchen and dining area, and a wonderful private beach. We took pontoon rides nightly and fished constantly. The towns of Frankfort and Beulah made for great day trips. We highly recommend this home!

Lovely winter escape

We stayed for a mid week winter break to do some skiing at nearby Crystal Mountain. The house is perfectly located just 18 minutes from the ski resort and ten minutes from stores and restaurants. Lovely hone in excellent condition and super clean. Beautiful views across the lake Quiet neighborhood that feels very cared for and safe. The house has everything you need and the movie selection was an added bonus. Highly recommend the movie Secondhand Lions!! It was a very relaxing stay and being able to bring our dogs along made it especially nice.
