About this property

Haugen's Haven - Fabulous Family Home - 3 Blocks to Lake, Steps to Downtown

GENERAL AMENITIES: Outdoor space abounds at Haugen’s Haven with a large front porch and two additional decks. The home has a living room, large dining room, full kitchen, five bedrooms (Sleeps 12-13), two full baths and a laundry room. Bed linens, towels, microwave, coffeemaker, dishwasher, garbage disposal, cable TV, wireless internet, gas grill and parking are provided. Since 2015, we have remodeled and updated the kitchen, laundry room, porch, first floor family suite, upstairs bathroom, living room and dining room. The house very comfortably sleeps 12 to 13.

SPECIFIC AMENITIES:
The FRONT PORCH is a very large, covered outdoor space with a wicker seating area for over 10 guests. It is a great place to sip your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Rain or shine, the porch is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your summer vacation. Two decks are available which provide additional space to enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy grilling and your meal on the cafe deck which has a gas grill, dining table and umbrella to cool down from the sun. For a quiet space the retreat deck provides a secluded location to read a book or enjoy a quiet conversation.

The LIVING ROOM has a bank of windows looking onto the front porch with comfortable seating for seven. A newly added electric fireplace with shelves houses the 55” smart TV with cable to catch your favorite shows after a day at the beach, golfing, fishing or enjoying the sights of Northern Michigan.

The DINING ROOM is the heart of the home with a breakfast island that opens to the kitchen. It includes an oak dining table which seats up to 10, a china hutch and a large desk which makes this more like a great room than simply a dining area. The sliding glass doors lead to the lovely bistro deck which has a gas grill and a round patio table with umbrella to enjoy an outdoor cookout after a day at the beach. There are two ceiling fans to bring the cool lake breeze into the house.

The KITCHEN was remodeled in 2015 keeping its farmhouse style with dark oak cabinets, butcher block counter tops and a breakfast island. The large porcelain sink and vintage green stove pay tribute to the past while enjoying the modern conveniences of a dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, electric stove and refrigerator with ice maker. The wall air conditioner and ceiling fan keep the kitchen cool while cooking. The mobile island provides additional work space and storage for recycling. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishware, glasses, pots, pans and even a crock pot.

The FAMILY BEDROOM is located on the second floor and sleeps 3. This spacious, traditional bedroom has a king bed and one twin bed. A ceiling fan and window air-conditioner will help you rest comfortably on a hot summer night.

THE BUNK ROOM is located on the second floor and sleeps 3. This cozy, quilted classic room has a bunk bed which has a double bed on the bottom and a twin bed on the top. This room attracts children like a magnet. A window air-conditioner cools the room nicely for a comfortable night of sleep.

The FRENCH DOOR RETREAT is a sun filled room with a double bed located on the first floor. The room includes an antique dresser, ceiling fan, window air conditioner and French doors that lead to the private deck.

The FAMILY SUITE sleeps 4. The two room suite includes a kids sleeping passage with a stairway bunk bed and a sunny private master with a queen memory foam mattress on a antique bed. Ceiling fans and a window air conditioner cool the rooms for a restful night of sleep.

There are two full BATHROOMS located on each floor of the house. The second floor bathroom has a heated ceramic floor, marble top vanity, new toilet, and reconditioned large claw foot tub with shower. The first floor bathroom has a fiberglass 48' shower with handicap bars, vanity and toilet.

The LAUNDRY ROOM is located off the kitchen and houses a stack able washer and dryer to help you keep up on the week’s laundry.

PARKING is provided in the shared driveway at the rear of the home. There are four parking spaces dedicated for the house. Additional parking is allowed on Forest Avenue all day and night.

Perfect haven
This was a great home for my family ( 8 adults, 4 children). We had plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. The front porch was a favorite spot for morning coffee or evening relaxing. The beach only three blocks away was a plus. We had a wonderful week at Haugen’s Haven and would definitely choose it again. Laurie. aug.21

About the host

Hosted by Denise DeCook

Host profile image
My family has been in Frankfort since the 1870's. My dad was raised in the home, falling in love with the girl across the street. That girl was my Mom, Patricia Raymond who was married to my Dad, Dennis Haugen for 54 years. Today, my husband Ron and I own the home and plan to retire here in the future. We live in East Lansing with our children and also have busy careers which often limit our time in Frankfort. Like my grandparents and parents we enjoy sharing Haugen's Haven with visiting families when we are unable to be in Frankfort.

Why they chose this property

The location and features of Haugen's Haven make this the ideal spot for a family vacation with the grandparents, siblings and young children. A two and half block walk to Lake Michigan and a half block walk to downtown is perfectly located to enjoy the beauty of Frankfort in summer. Conveniently located in the heart of Frankfort, once you arrive you can walk everywhere.

What makes this property unique

Hands down the best feature of the House is the expansive front porch. All our guests rave about it as the number one item they miss most when they leave. Running a close second, is the spacious remodeled kitchen, dining room and laundry room. Additionally, the bedrooms located on the first and second floor make it ideal for private family space as well as convenient for grandparents. Our home is full of tradition and comfort which is perfect for families to enjoy.
