About this property

Waterfront Home Close to it All!

Our waterfront home sits on beautiful Betsie Bay in the quaint fishing town of Frankfort. The home has a total of four bedrooms, including two master suites, a main floor queen bedroom and bunk room (with four beds) and three full bathrooms. It offers an expansive enclosed sunroom porch and deck overlooking the bay. You won't believe the birds and natural beauty from your own backyard- make some time to sit and enjoy!
For those who like a little more activity, hop off the back dock onto one of the kayaks and enjoy a a little solitude as you paddle around the bay checking out the boats and marinas. If you're feeling adventurous, continue on past the beautiful Frankfort lighthouse and into Lake Michigan. The Frankfort beach is beautiful and spacious and we've stocked the house with beach chairs for you and your guests to enjoy.
Next, get out the bikes and hit the Betsie Bay Trail, a 20+ mile long ride accessible right from your driveway. Go left and in 15 minutes you'll be in town at Mineral Park, a great destination for kids. Don't forget to hit the bakery, ice cream, beautiful library, Storm Cloud Brewery or many shops while you're there. Go right for the long ride all the way to Crystal Lake. Although we are close to the best amenities, you'll feel away from it all in this nature lover's getaway.

Family Fourth of July
We stayed at this lovely house for a week with extended family for the 4th of July and a family reunion in Frankfort. We loved the house location- we kayaked from the dock (20 min to lighthouse) and biked on the path from the front door every day. It was so convenient to town and the beach, we barely drove. Meg was an excellent host and communication was prompt and accurate. The house was very well equipped with kitchen items to cook meals in, beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub, fire pit, yard games, kayaks, etc. were in great shape and we got much use out of them. Everyone loved their stay and we definitely would rent again. One downside for older family members was no AC, but the house had many good fans that helped and with the windows open, it was nice and comfortable. I preferred it, but if you are someone who absolutely needs AC, you should consider how hot it will be during the stay. A 5 star rating all around, thanks Meg for your hospitality!

This house has it all
We really enjoyed our stay in Frankfort. The house is close to downtown area- 3 min drive or 20 minute walk. We loved having s'mores at the fire pit in the back while watching the sunsets. Also appreciated the fence around the back yard for added peace of mind, as we had two toddlers with us. The kayaks and beach chairs available at the house made it convenient to enjoy Betsie bay in the back and for trips to the beach. I would rent this house again if I return to Michigan!

Wonderful summer get away!
This was a gorgeous home with a great location. The house was very clean with lots of space and a nice sun room running along the back, perfect for dining. It is minutes from Lake Michigan with a beautiful beach. It is also has a nice bike path out front. Meg was very responsive to any question we had. I would definitely recommend a stay in this gorgeous part of the state.

Simply Fantastic
Great view of the bay and wonderfully convenient to Frankfort. We loved the bike trail and sitting on the back deck looking over the bay. Frankfort is a lovely small town. Meg was super easy to work with and the property was a pleasure to stay at. Everyone had a great time. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Meg Eveland

Host profile image
Hi! My family and I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan but have been coming to Frankfort to vacation for years, actually for generations. My husband and our three kids love this small, friendly town and all its natural beauty. The shops, restaurants, ice cream (5 shops!), library, walks on the pier to the lighthouse, biking, skiing, kayaking, and fishing keep us coming back every year. It's our favorite place and we hope it will be one of yours too!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Our home provides the perfect mix of the getting away feel with 100 feet of waterfront on Betsie Bay and a five minute bike ride to all the amenities of the beautiful downtown Frankfort.
We have stocked the home with all of the things we like to see when we travel, bikes for the exploring town and the Betsie Trail, new mattresses and linens, plenty of kitchen supplies, lots of games and, of course, high speed internet in case you can't totally unplug from it all.
