Adjoining guest house really helps with privacy and any noise issues. Screened porch provides excellent gathering and fun spot for all. Would definitely stay again - quiet area, great swimming area and close to many sites.

This house is gorgeous and so is the yard and lake. We really enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. However the guest house is NOT air conditioned- and gets very hot. We had to use this space with the amount of people we had and we have small children, very difficult to sleep in there especially when it is so hot. Guest services did not help us when we told them the trash was overflowing from the previous guest and all over the lawn- no one came to get it and we had no where to put our own trash, even after letting them know 2 days in a row. Despite those couple of problems we still enjoyed our stay very much and it was a very well kept cottage. An air conditioner for the guest house and a 2nd trash bin would be very helpful! I would also recommend bringing some camping chairs and beach chairs if you want something comfortable to sit on outside.

Having rented several places from Vacasa and other rental agents, this one was a true gem. Not only was it welcoming and homey, it was impeccably clean. The sleeping accommodations were very cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked, and having a washer and dryer was a huge help. The yard and waterfront were beautifully landscaped and maintained. The outdoor fire place made a great spot to gather in the evening and for the grandkids to toast marshmallows. Having kayaks to use was an added feature our family enjoyed. It was quiet with plenty of privacy and the guest cottage was a bonus for a family with young children. We truly felt like privileged guests in someone’s very beautiful home. The decor was so lovely and it added to the ambience from the moment we walked in. We would love to return again. Thank you for sharing this amazing vacation home!

6 of us recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lake house rental, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Nestled just a short drive from Frankfort and the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes, this property is a true gem.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the spectacular lake views. The house features large windows that perfectly frame the serene landscape, making it a peaceful retreat. We spent hours relaxing on the spacious patio and lawn, enjoying the sunsets and listening to the gentle waves.
The location is unbeatable! Just minutes away from the charming town of Frankfort, we loved exploring local shops and restaurants. Plus, being so close to Sleeping Bear Dunes allowed us to easily venture out for some unforgettable hikes and breathtaking vistas.
Inside, the house was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The open-concept living area was perfect for gathering with family and friends, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our cooking needs. Each bedroom was cozy and inviting, ensuring restful nights after our days of adventure.
We also appreciated the easy access to the lake. Whether we were swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the water, it was the perfect way to unwind and soak in nature.
Overall, this lake house exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the ideal spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the beauty of Northern Michigan. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable stay!
