This place is like a slice of heaven on earth!! 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!! We visited Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort. This was a great central location. The lake is clear and wasn’t too cold. Breathtaking sunsets right from the dock. Beds were comfy and I wanted to take the pillows home. We weren’t sure about the bathroom being in the main house only but it real wasn’t an issue. Stay here!! You won’t regret it! Thank you for having us and can’t wait to come back!!

We had a wonderful week! Check-in was simple and Katie was immediately available for anything we needed. The setting is so quiet and peaceful, very few boats on the lake, even on the weekend. A bald eagle visited every day, and listening to the loons and sandhill cranes was magical. The availability of the pontoon was awesome, as were all the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, all of which we used every day. Great campfires and stargazing every night topped it all off. Having firewood available was nice too!

Family vacation 2025

The outside property had plenty of room for the kids to play in the yard and in the water. We loved the kayaks, the pool table and the ping pong table. The kitchen was well furnished, however the pots and pans could use some updating. I was under the impression the main house was air conditioning however, one upstairs room had a portable air conditioner but the other bedroom did not. The main floor did not have air conditioning and due to the high outside temperature it caused the house to be very warm. There was wifi however it could use updated and WiFi extender through out the houses. Overall we had a great stay and would consider renting it again.

Family vacation

We are a large family of varying ages. This is the perfect place for everyone! Jeff was the perfect host and easily accessible. The layout of the 3 living areas was perfect, as the loft was great for all-our kids. We rented the pontoon and it worked great. This property is so close to so many things and works well for large groups. We all agreed it is one of the nicest places we have ever rented!

Beautiful property!

We enjoyed our stay at Platte lake. The lake was beautiful and we used the kayaks and paddle boards several times. The available firewood made it so nice to not worry about purchasing on the way. The bunk house had a very strong, but clean, smell that prevented us from sleeping in it even after hours of airing it out. We were disappointed that the hot tub listed was inaccurate as that was a key search component and something our party was hoping for. We enjoyed many surrounding sights and attractions such as the St Ambrose cellars and the sleeping bear dunes. Would stay here again!

We had an eventful weekend. There were a couple issues that Jeff responded to immediately and was so pleasant and kind even during a 3:30am phone call. 😬 We can see how ideal this would be for summer months for a large or extended family week.

Great Cabin for large and small groups w/ on-site beach/kayaks.

This is a great lakefront property with room for a large group. We only had 3 so we didn't use the extra space but can easily accommodate 2-3 families with small children or teens. Jeff has a great indoor hangout spot with a pool table as well as 6 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, a small beach where you can easily launch kayaks, a dock, 3 picnic tables, and a nice firepit with seating for 8+. Basically anything you'd want for a lakefront cabin with activities at your fingertips. The rental description is accurate. There was a portable AC unit in one of the upper rooms that did well for us. I expect it keeps the entire area upstairs cool if needed but it was mid 60's-70's during our stay mid-September. We would be happy to rent again.

Fantastic Spot

We had a fantastic time. We rented the pontoon. Did a little swimming and fishing off the pontoon. We used the included kayaks and paddleboard daily. They had a great sanded area where my granddaughter (2 1/2) played and built sandcastles. We rented another home about a mile away so we had a total of 18 people in and out. We played volleyball as there is a official net set up. My only complaint, the ball needed more air and we didn't have a needle. There is a pool table which we did not use but we did use the ping pong table for a little beer pong. We had a Hawaiian Luah one evening and the two tables on the back patio accommodated all of us. Close to downtown Frankfort. We golfed at Crystal Mountain. Visited two breweries and 1 distillery close by. Hikes Sleeping Bear Dunes. My husband and son road their bikes on the tart trail from Traverse City to Sutton Bay and back. We had a tour bus come and pick us up and we went to a couple wineries in Sutton Bay. We just alll around enjoyed ourselves. We always had dinners at the house. Never went out. Now, Jeff and Larry we need to talk your wives into renting us your home too, lol, and hopefully, a great combined price for both homes and pontoon.

Great Lakefront Getaway

Based on the review’s, we booked our stay 9 months ago. We just completed our week and the property did not disappoint - We loved it! There were only four of us and our dog, so plenty of space for all of us. The property can definitely handle four times the amount of our group. The property came equipped with kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit, dock, and more. Very shallow water well out past the dock. You can see the dark edge where it drops. Great place for swimming, not so much for fishing. You need to be out in the deeper water where the shelf is where all the fishing boats were fishing. Jeff has a pontoon available for use for an additional fee. The area where this property sits is close to town, yet secluded and in a private area via a good dirt road. No road or traffic noise, was very quiet. Great star gazing at night. We were lucky enough to have no rain during our stay. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Jeff was very responsive to the few questions we did have and was very accommodating. The wives said some of the skillets and baking pans were heavily used and could stand to be replaced, but were still usable. That is not a complaint, just something to be considered for the future. Our 12 year old black lab absolutely loved the lake. He spent much of his time swimming. We spent time kayaking and touring. My wife grew up in the area so we know a lot of secret spots most travelers have no idea about. Bottom line is we loved our stay. You will too!

Million dollar setting and location

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay and are still talking about the unforgettable sunsets and late night stargazing sitting by the fire. The lake is absolutely perfect with crystal clear water. The cabin is a typical rustic lake house with a great coffee pot! Jeff and his family make it easy to stay here. For those that are interested in the details, I'll share a few helpful details. Cabin - rustic and lived in but clean. The kitchen has all of the appliances, pots/pans that you'll need. If you like to cook, I'd recommend bringing spices, oils, etc. There is not much there beyond utensils. Charcoal grill available. There are plenty of good quality beds in the three places. We thought it might be odd but we found the loft to be an outstanding option for our teenagers. It felt very safe and they were thrilled to have their own space. There are two full bathrooms in the main house that both include showers. There is plenty of storage cubbies and towels. Bring outdoor towels. TVs - in the main house there is a large screen with cable and in the loft there is another large screen TV with Netflix options, smart tv. Lake & Outdoor area is absolutely phenomenal. This property has so much frontage space to make you incredibly comfortable, private, and enjoyable. You'll never want or need to be inside. Swim, kayak, paddle, or fish - it's all very easy and accessible. They provide numerous kayaks and a couple of SUPs. The access and entrance to the water is unbelievably easy and very soft sand bottom. Water shoes aren't necessary although my kids generally wore them. Great for kids. Huge side yard with volleyball net. Nice size fire pit in the yard overlooking the lake - perfect to take in the sunset and also to stick around and watch for stars into the night. Amazing clear skies - known for Ursa Major sightings. If you can get up around 6am, the sunrise was stunning as well. The area is pretty quiet. 5 minutes to groceries and a few local restaurants. Check out the Manitou if you're seeking fine dining (worth it). Frankfort is a 15 min ride and offers shopping, restaurants, etc. Traverse was about 30 minutes. If you like to run or bike, be sure to check out the Betsy Valley Trail that offers a 23 mile loop that you can pick up 5 minutes from the cabin.
