Why they chose this property

I love Elberta because it is a quiet, friendly
village near a private beautiful beach along Lake Michigan. It is one of the few areas that feature private coastline and conservancy protection that ensures the beauty of the area. I love that I can travel to Frankfort by bike or car in minutes but I don’t have to be in the tourist traffic.
