Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Tim Bannister has owned a marketing consulting firm since 1986, as well as gaining experience in renovating and managing historical properties. Acquiring and updating Serendipity House, which was built in 1890 by a local ship captain, has kept his passion intact.
Why the Owner Chose Frankfort
Tim's family had been vacationers along Lake Michigan since the mid-'50s and tried their hand at resort ownershp in the area. After the resort was sold, Tim chose to carry on, offering guests the opportunity to experience Serendipity House and Frankfort's unique charm.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Start with the simple pleasure of sitting on Serendipity House's big front porch to watch the passing parade of sunbathers heading to the beach. And being only a block from the beach makes its easy to join them.

Fall Festival 2010
Guest: Sally
(Ann Arbor, MI USA)
Date of Stay: 10/07/10
Review Submitted: 01/03/11
My family and I visited the Frankfort area last October for the Annual Fall Festival complete with lots of fun activities for kids and families. The Serendipity House is in the heart of all the action and is within walking distance to Lake Michigan's sandy beach, the festival, the Farmer's Market/Craft Show and the Garden Theater (where we watched the Spartans clobber the Wolverines). There are dozens of restaurants and shops nearby and many activities; the Serendipity House is a comfortable and friendly place to stay- I highly recommend it.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, sightseeing, families with young children.
Serendipity House...a cozy place away from home
Guest: Charlene

Date of Stay: 10/08/10
Review Submitted: 12/31/10
I have been coming to the 'Frankfort Harvest Festival', which occurs the first weekend in October, with my two granddaughter's, for the past three years. We've always had a great time enjoying many of the fall festival events that the city of Frankfort works so hard to present. The Serendipity House, with it's perfect location and cozy atmosphere, is just the right place to stay for this or any other of Frankfort's events or activities, year round.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, pet owners, families with young children.
