Our family was looking for a cozy cottage for a get-together and this rental was just perfect! Just steps away from the Platte River, but also plenty to do and see nearby. Bill and Holly are excellent hosts and communicators. Already looking at our calendars for a possible return trip!

Had an amazing stay! We saw deer walking the icy Platte River every morning. Cabin was cozy with a beautiful snowy backdrop. Also enjoyed Beulah’s Winterfest, sunsets by the frozen Frankfort Pier, and Northern lights at the mouth of Platte River!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Very nice cabin right on the Platte River. Location was great close to Lake Michigan beaches, a short drive to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We would stay again if we vacation in that area again.

Cozy Cabin

Loved this adorable log cabin next to the river. It felt private, we loved eating dinner at the table and watching the fish jump and play in the little sandbar by the cabin. It was clean and welcoming, would definitely stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Holly O'Dwyer

Host profile image
We live nearby in Elberta, MI. We have 4 children. I retired from The Federal Aviation Administration and my wife works at the local hospital in Frankfort.

Why they chose this property

This is an Up North Destination! We built this cabin in 1996. We chose this location for it's seclusion and proximity to the Platte River. Without any other homes in view, this truly feels private.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing on the deck, listening to the river and watching kayaks and canoes drift by. Not a care in the world. Put your chair in the river and soak your feet. The river is crystal clear with a gravel bottom. Occasionally you will see fish swim by.
