Second time we’ve stayed here. It’s hard to beat this location. We brought kayaks/SUPs and were able to kayak the platte river right from the rental. It’s a small place, but has been perfect for our little family. Peaceful, quiet.

This cottage is cute and comfy! Close to the water too. A great host!

We had a great time and loved being right on the lake. Our children could easily play in the water without us stressing about boats or it getting too deep too quickly (our dog equally loved playing fetch in the water).
The neighbors and homeowner were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The house is in a great location, tucked away from m-22 and a perfect jumping off point for all the things we love to do in the area (Frankfort, trails, Lake Michigan), although we did enjoy being at the house so much we rarely left.
Tips to future renters: as stated in the agreement, bring your own sheets and towels (except kitchen), bring anything you’d want to cook with or store food in, extra tp and pt is recommended. I’d also highly recommend water shoes due to zebra muscles. There are fans for added comfort in each room and AC in one of the rooms, all of which kept the whole place comfortable. Pick up wood from deadstream road.
For those unfamiliar with the area, Frankfort is a charming downtown, where the platte river meets Lake Michigan is our favorite place to go for a beach day (no dogs), and is right around the corner, benzonia has a nice grocery store and a super yummy little medd lunch spot (the eatery) or Beulah’s brewery. If you travel north check out Glen arbor, if you go south check out the marsh in Arcadia and bowens creek for coffee and crepes or ketch 22 for lunch.
We’d definitely come back and have found yet another lake to love in the area.
