Good location. Nice first floor bathroom. Nice living room. Would like more towels than one per person for 4 nights. Need a cutting board and hand towels in the bathrooms.

Suzie, thank you for your review. We are pleased that you were happy with the location and size of the home. I was a little suprised to see your comment about the cutting board, as there are at least 3 boards in the kitchen drawers. The cleaning crew also leaves a hand towels for every guest. The washer and dryer were available to you, if you needed to refresh your towels as we customarily only provide one towel per guest.

I had a great set up for people traveling with more than one family. Sometimes communication was a bit slow, but also our Internet was out for several days. Nice view of the lake from the porch.

Hi John, thank you for taking time to review our property. I'm sorry for the inconvenience with the internet outtage - unfortunately, that is out of our control, but we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay, nonetheless!

Great place in a nice location. Lots of room to park, which was important only because we brought our boat. The place was well appropriated, both furniture and lighting wise, and also in the kitchen, which has everything you need (the coffee bar area is really cool). Really, the only complaint we had is something that we read in other reviews, too: the internet is spotty. We found ourselves needing to reboot the router a few times and trying to stream shows on the TV was a challenge at times due to the weak signal. But if that is the only complaint we have, you know it's a great spot.

Cute home with lots of character

Check in/check out very easy. Listing is as described. So much character & cute details in this historical home!! Everything very clean. Great coffee/hot chocolate bar! All bathrooms & bedrooms are upstairs, that might be an issue for some but wasn’t for us. Great stay - thank you!!

Great lakeside inn feel!

My group was visiting the area for a short golf trip to Arcadia and Crystal Downs. This cottage was an ideal location between the two properties. This cottage is reminiscent of a quaint inn or B&B. Comfortable beds, no shortage of amenities, and clean throughout. The hostess was clear and concise on check in, and gave me some great recommendations on local restaurants in Frankfort. The next time we’re fortunate enough to visit the area, I’ll be sure to request this again.

Adorable House in Beulah

This 4 Bedroom house was adorable!! Very well kept. 4 older couples who came to visit Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. We found this house to be relaxing and has great gathering areas in the dining area and living room. There are no bathrooms on the main floor, only upstairs. We loved the coffee bar. The host was very easy to work with . Definitely would recommend.

Ironman Stay!

We stayed as a family with 3 young children while a parent completed the Ironman- the house was wonderful for that! The distance to Frankfort was entirely doable, the view of Crystal Lake was stunning especially at sunset, and the home itself had tremendous charm. For anyone with mobility issues that cannot handle stairs, there is no bathroom on the main floor. Not an issue for us!

perfect for group

Our group was four couples up for parents ski racing weekend at Crystal Mountain. The mountain was only 15 minute drive, the house was perfect for 4 couples-each with their own bathroom. The galley kitchen was snug for multiple cooks, but large enough, dining room worked well with group; sitting room/entry with large living area was perfect for dinner/apps/games. We used the outdoor fire pit. Had dinner at the Birch and Maple, in Frankfort, very good food and service. Only having one key was challenge for group, entry code on actual door would be simpler. Dish towels in kitchen would have made cleanup easier, otherwise awesome place to stay! Our contact, Janet, was very responsive and helpful-thanks so much!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The home had gorgeous views and is just 2 minutes to downtown Beulah and its public beach, shopping, and restaurants. It’s also conveniently located to downtown Frankfort (10 minutes) and Traverse City (about 30 minutes) as well as all of the many attractions of northern Michigan - Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lake Michigan, kayaking, boating, trails, hiking, golf, skiing, spas, fantastic restaurants, and so much more.

What makes this property unique

This is a historic home that was recently used as a Bed and Breakfast. It's a beautiful home with loads of charm. I love all of the natural light that comes through the ubundant windows and all of the lovely architectural details throughout. The large porch has rocking chairs and a porch swing - it's perfect for watching sunsets over the lake. Each bedroom has its own dedicated bathroom, so it serves multiple couples very well. The home is convenient to so many area attractions - only minutes from downtown Beulah and Frankfort, but also close to Lake Michigan, golf courses, Crystal Lake Mountain, hiking - so much to do! Please note that this is an older home - so if you like modern architecture and amenities, this may not be the right home for you! LakeView is warm, cozy, and inviting - it feels like "home" when you first walk through the doors!
