Great amenities & convenient
Great home & nice area. Everything was super clean upon arrival & so many neat things inside & around the home, this house had a lot to offer! The back deck & little private beach area with the fire pit & the views that came with that made this spot that much better. Frankfort & Manistee are not far away either which was also convenient. Tons to do within the area, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Blissful!
The sunsets and beach combing were AMAZING!! Could not have asked for a better location for all of the outdoor activities we love to enjoy. Each day we hiked, went rock hunting, took the boardwalk looking to expand our bird-list, walked to the lighthouse in Frankfort, visited the art gallery there, and mostly just chilled. We hope to return soon.

wonderful location
There could not be better views of Lake Michigan, or a better beach. This is just a wonderful place. The place is very thoughtfully set up, from the hose for washing off sandy feet to the kitchen to having plenty of towels. It was as described-- "rustic"-- so don't be surprised by that.

Disappointed
This is a cute cabin. However, the photos make it seem like you have direct access to the beach - not via a steep, origami staircase. This unfortunately, kept me from enjoying the actual feel of the beach. :(( So I sat on the floating deck which is now enclosed and enjoyed the view from above. Also, both of our dogs couldn’t descend the stairs as well. I don’t know if the owners have been there yet or property management, but it could use a once over (new light bulbs, doors don’t open/ close all the way, fireplace doesn’t work which they left a heater in lieu for). All in all, the stay was a nice rustic, relaxing treat - even if I didn’t walk on the beach. ;)

Sweet little place on the lake.
Overall a nice little place for an escape. Our dog did set off a live mouse trap (he was unharmed) and found one with a dead mouse. It made him like the place even more.

Perfect getaway at this sweet, well-loved cabin.
We throughly enjoyed our weeklong stay at this sweet, well loved cabin. We spent most of our days lounging on the beach and enjoyed watching the sun set from the Adirondack chairs on the deck. The kitchen has seen some updates and we found everything we needed to make most of our meals at home. We enjoyed day trips to Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City. We opened all the windows and doors and enjoyed the cool lake breezes and fell asleep each night to the rolling of the waves. There are plenty of extra blankets to keep you warm on cooler nights and the beds are super comfortable. We were sad to find the indoor fireplace was inoperable but made use of the fire pit and enjoyed a fire beachside. The WiFi worked like a champ and we made use of it several nights by watching a movie together on our son’s iPad. If you are looking to unplug and rest and reset, this is the place for you! We will definitely be back.
