We had a fantastic stay! The house was better in person and the location was perfect to the Ironman 70.3 race (why we were in town). Anne was a pleasure to connect with and we appreciate her opening her family lake home. It was clean, very spacious, and has a beautiful deck overlooking the lake. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, great views

Plenty of space to stretch out, beautiful views and location close to Frankfort. Very responsive property manager. Really enjoyed our stay. One of the few places that actually could have fit the number of people it claims to (lots of bedrooms and actual beds).

Great Spacious Getaway Home

Stayed here with four friends for girls weekend and loved it!! Beautiful spacious home that has everything you could need. The view of the lake with coffee on the deck and the campfire on the beach were awesome. Entire place is so clean and comfortable. Location to everything is great, there is so much to do in that area. The host is wonderful too, very accommodating and easy to work with. We loved it and will be back!!

Perfect Getaway

Stayed here with friends for a girls weekend and this was perfect fit for all of us! Plenty of space and very comfortable. Great location, close to the lighthouse, great walking trails, Restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed our coffee on the large deck looking over the lake and had a campfire on the beach too. The house and neighborhood is very quiet. Kitchen is equipt with everything you need. And the host is very responsive and accommodating. This is our second time here for our girls trip and we’re coming back again next year!!

Fabulous vacation spot

This place was perfect. Plenty of room, well-stocked kitchen, amazing views, great beach area for small kids on a gorgeous lake. A wonderful deck for a cup of coffee early in the morning or big family meals. 20 mins from other beaches that were exquisite. The renters were so helpful, available and very kind. I only gave 4 stars for accurate description because the description and pictures just didn’t do this place justice. It’s truly a gem.

Great trip

Anne was a great host, very responsive communication. This is a quiet neighborhood and lake. We saw 10 cyclists for every car. There are very few boats on the lake. I enjoyed a morning hike/run up to graves rod via Figh or lobb road. Watch for deer in the evening if you are driving. Frankfort beach on Lake Michigan was great too. I spent quite a bit of time in Crystal lake and got a couple swimmers itch bites. I would recommend water proof sun screen if you are going to swim a lot like I did. My husband and daughter both swam and were not bothered. The cottage was spacious, stocked and clean. I would definitely return.
