"We loved it! It was a clean, updated quaint cabin. Even better than we expected. If our son does the Ironman again in Frankfort we would love to stay again. "

About this cottage rental

Welcome to Sandbar Shores on Big Platte Lake. This micro-resort is comprised of three cottages with direct beachfront access and enjoyment of Big Platte Lake. Big Platte Lake is nestled in the heart of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and is shallow, warm and sandy.

The Roadhouse Cottage is steps away from the lake and offers lovely views. This two bedroom cottage is furnished with a twin/full bunk, a master bedroom consisting of a queen bed and a living room with a large sectional sofa. This cottage can accommodate five people. There is a fully functional kitchen and one bathroom.

Each cottage is outfitted with a/c, heat, WiFi, Roku televisions, gas grills, linens, towels, pillows, and personal fire pits. The sandy beach lakefront is a shared area between all of the cottages so we request that visitors are limited and courtesy be given to the other quests while enjoying the amenities.

There is working laundry facilities on the premises that is located in the basement of the Main House. Guests from all three cottages have access to the laundry facilities. There are also 2 mooring buoys.

Whether you're looking to explore the dunes, waterways, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, tour the wineries of M-22, or just admire the northern Michigan sunsets and scenery our cottages will not disappoint.

Wonderful week stay at the Roadhouse. The house was immaculate, the beds were comfy, and I greatly appreciated the plush towels! The location was great as we were close to Sleeping Bear, tubing on the river, local towns for shopping and Lake Michigan. My 9 year old boy's comments about our stay: "I really like the beach, kayaking and there were other kids to play with." The Roadhouse is a lovely place to stay. Perfect.

Roadhouse has a great location nesr shared beach & dock on Lake Platte. The cottage looks to be in the process of renovations(which we weren't aware of), the exterior was only partially sided with the remainder covered in house wrap. The front door didn't like staying shut unless it was locked. The window to the door had no vurtain/covering, so we had to hang a towel over it for privacy. The interior was definitely updated compared to pictures as second bedroom has bunk beds instead of the two singles.

Very nice place with all the necessities that you would want from home. Whether it be kitchen utensils or outdoor furniture they thought of it all.
