NEW! The Blessing - A CUTE AND COZY CHRISTIAN COUNTRY RETREAT!

The Blessing is a super cute, safe, and cozy 1200 square foot basement apartment in the country just outside of Benzonia, Michigan. It features a private entrance, high-speed Wi-Fi, a living room with a coffee table that easily converts to a workstation, electric fireplace, large TV with DirecTV and streaming, full kitchen, dining table, bedroom with queen size bed, a queen size sleeper sofa, full bathroom, and a washer and dryer.


The property is in a country setting, a couple miles outside of Benzonia, Michigan, which is a fairly typical small town in northern Michigan. There are grocery stores, a hardware store, various other stores, restaurants, churches, banks, and a U.S. post office in Benzonia. The home is just north of the Betsie River and is very close to the Homestead Dam on the Betsie River, which is famous for salmon fishing. Crystal Mountain and Crystal Lake are both also nearby.


This is a fully-furnished and fully-finished basement apartment. The property owners (a very nice older couple that serve in full-time local Christian ministry) live above the apartment on the first floor of the home. The apartment has a private entrance, but there is also a locked door that leads to the upstairs of the home. There are some Christian books, movies, and artwork in the apartment.

If you are comfortable with this, then we welcome you.

* PETS: Absolutely no pets of any kind are permitted at the apartment! (Please do not bother asking.)

Weekend stay for Frankfort 70.3 triathlon
I was so impressed with this property. Very clean and quiet environment. It was close to my event which made it easy to go back and forth. This property was very well thought out with everything you could think of needing for a comfortable stay. I would recommend this property to friends and family and would consider staying here again in the future.

So impressed with my first ever experience staying in a rental. Everything from the furnishings, color's and cleanliness and the owners were top notch. The only thing I would suggest is the walkway to the basement rental be updated as I had a bit of trouble navigating my way down.

Great weekend getaway
The place was very clean and organized. Floors literally looked clean enough to eat off of. Very impressive. There was a nice amount of space to spread out. We had everything we could've wanted in the kitchen. There was a nice selection of movies, books and games. We didn't have time to use them but it was nice to have the option. The beds were clean and came with lots of bedding and blankets. The mattress was firmer then we are used to but it was ok, not everyone has the same preferences with beds. We were a little leary about sharing a house with the owners but it worked out just fine for our family. We did meet the owner when we arrived but that was the only time we saw her. Other than that we could hear some movement and the tv upsatirs but it was in no way a disturbance. Overall the stay was great and we would visit again if we were in the area.

Slightly hesitant at first due to owners on site but it was overall quiet and private. Many nice touches, clean, and nicely decorated. We will definitely return!
