About this cottage rental
Come enjoy this shared waterfront cottage on Big Platte Lake!
This well-maintained cottage can serve as a great home-base for your vacation, or as your little "peace" of paradise for the week!
Enjoy swimming from the beach or soak in the sun on the dock. The water in front of the property is shallow and perfect for the kids, or those who want to wade. A picnic table and charcoal grill are available on the patio. TV (Spectrum cable) with Roku and games available for entertainment at night or rainy days.
The rental/cleaning fee includes all linens (pillows, sheets, blankets, comforters, and bath towels).
You will find all you need in the fully equipped kitchen (also provided: dish soap & paper towels, dish towels, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and basic spices).
Shared beach, dock, and fire pit (wood provided).
Please bring your own beach towels and water/beach toys.
Platte Lake is an all sports 2,500 acre lake with small mouth bass, pike, walleye and pan fish. The Platte River is just around the corner and is ideal for kayaking and stream fishing.
Area attractions include: Sleeping Bear Dunes (20 minutes), Frankfort (20 minutes), Traverse City (40 minutes), Crystal Mountain for golfing or alpine slide (20 minutes), and Cherry Bowl Drive-In (less than 5 minutes). In addition, lots of Lake Michigan beaches, hiking, shopping, antiquing, and exploring the great local towns (Frankfort, Beulah, Empire, and Glen Arbor).

Melissa, our host, was great with communication regarding check-in, expectations, and providing us with information on things that could make our stay most enjoyable. She communicated with us prior to our stay as well as during and after to make certain everything was as it should be.The house/cabin had all the amenities we needed and was the perfect size for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids ages 10-14. Our youngest granddaughter was ecstatic to have her own room with lots of storage to put her things and make it "hers" for our stay. We had most of our meals at the house and packed lunches to take with us on our adventures. The kitchen had all of the things we needed.The house has many decorative touches that make the home warm and comfortable. The lake view is wonderful and the sunsets beautiful. There is lots of outdoor seating and a firepit to use. The swimming is great. The water is clear and the bottom is sandy. You can also walk out quite a distance without the water being over your head. Again, perfect for kids and adults. The house/cabin is with 5 others so there is a common area. When we were there not all cabins were being used, but everyone we met was friendly and we shared our s'more with some of the neighbors.The consensus of our family was that this experience was 10/10! We'll definitely go back if we vacation in the area again.

This is our second time staying at this property and we will go back again when we are able. It’s so lovely with a great view of the lake. The cottage is very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals. The beds are comfortable and there is some wonderful seating outside although it was a little too chilly this week to use it.
Melissa was great to work with.
