House is in a great location and was perfect for our stay (despite the snow in April).
House is in a great location and was perfect for our stay (despite the snow in April).
The home was pleasant but a few issues could be addressed.
The silverware was somewhat limited. We were there steelhead fishing in late March. We ate soup often but found no soup spoons that would be a good addition. The sink stopper in the master bath, the one on the left didn't work making shaving a messy affair. One of the queen size bedrooms did not have any outlets for phone charging or plugging in a cpap machine convenient. The dining table is very small. We had 5 chairs but only had room enough to sit 4 comfortably. Its a small dining area so I'm not sure how you'd be able to add a bigger table. Overall it met our needs and we had a great time fishing on the Betsie.
Keith, thank you for the response. We always look for ways to improve our property.
I am a little cofussd on the review though. Before you booked you asked about the kitchen table. I responded twice that it would be tight. We will add larger soup spoons. Unfortunately we can’t add anymore outlets to the front bedroom. That is the older part of the house. We will also have the drain plug fixed on the sink. If we would have know we would have sent a plummer ASAP.
We try and be as forthcoming as possible during booking. We are sorry our cottage didn’t quite meet your needs. I do question the 3 stars though as a rating such as this is usually for properties that are not clean or poor service. Our property manager does a great job cleaning and we tried to accommodate your needs as much as possible. You were able to check in early to drop your gear off and I even made sure a small fridge was in the garage in case you needed for bait.
Again our apologies for not quite meeting your needs. For future renters PLEASE ask questions. If you are staying at our cottage please let us know if you need anything. We understand not all properties meet everyone’s needs. We will do our very best to make sure your needs are met. We want you to enjoy Frankfort as much as we do

A great place to stay walking distance from downtown.
We enjoyed our stay while we snowboarded at crystal mountain. The house was just right for the size group we had and great location near downtown Frankfurt. The owners were great and very helpful during the booking process and during our stay! Would absolutely rent again!
Leonard we are very glad you had a good time. Thank you for writing a review. We hope to hear from you again!!
Best Chris and Pam.

This house is adorable and is spacious. The decor is perfect for Frankfort and the living room furniture is very comfortable. The wifi is fast and the cable TV channels options are vast. The beds are comfortable and the sheets are a nice quality. Clearly, the family has done a great deal of work to make this an attractive rental. If you do plan to cook a great deal, you may want to consider bringing a few pans. The family was very responsive and well organized - I left an item at the house and they were very gracious and offered to send it to me. I really appreciate that!
Susan. Thank you so much for the kind words. We are very glad you and your family enjoyed yourself. We hope to hear from you again.

Great value and location.
Lots of room and beds. Nice features inside like wide screen TV and super fast WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen with a large fridge. Washer and dryer too!
Hi Dan,, Thank you very much for the kind review. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay!! Best Chris and Pam
Very nice cottage close to everything and everyplace we wanted to visit.
Very nice cottage all the comforts of home. Bedrooms were nice & spread out-through out the home for privacy. Our grandsons loved the park right across the street. We were surprised it was still quite and able to watch them play at all times right from the large front porch. Staying in Frankfort allowed us to visit all the nearby communities. Driving to Traverse City was easy making a great day trip. Swimming in the lakes was awesome and very clean. Would love to stay here again.
Hi Audrey, thank you for the nice review. We are very glad you had a great time. Frankfort is a wonderful place to visit. Hope to see you next year. Best Chris and Pam
Location
The best of all worlds. Walk across the street to large park with basketball and tennis courts. Walk 4 blocks to downtown Frankfort for shopping and dining. Only a short walk farther to beautiful lake Michigan with miles of white sand beaches. In the mood for cycling? hundreds of miles of trials right out the front door. You can park your car and not use it for your entire vacation. If you want to sightsee it is only a short 20 minute drive north to sleeping bear sand dunes or 20 minutes east to Crystal Mountain ski resort. Have a truly relaxing summer vacation!!
