About this property

Wonderful family home surrounded by woods

Our secluded family home sits on a hill at the end of a dead end road above the small downtown of Frankfort, Michigan. The house is surrounded by trees which provide a feeling of privacy and yet is only a 15 minute walk to downtown and Lake Michigan. It’s a great central location for accessing activities in the area and also a wonderful place to sit back and relax on the deck with friends and family. Frankfort, Benzie County and Northwest Michigan offer a variety of activities- hiking, biking, golf, fishing, kayaking, surfing, farmers' markets, wine tours, restaurants, music, art, film, festivals, shopping, water/snow skiing, M22 scenic drives and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The main floor has two bedrooms (1 master bedroom ensuite with king bed and 1 bedroom with a set of bunk beds and a queen bed), 1 full bath, an open kitchen/dining area, and an open living room with a wood burning stove. Large windows provide a lot of natural light. There is also a spacious deck with bench seating, a large table and chairs, hot tub, and a gas grill. The finished basement has 1 bedroom ensuite (1 queen bed), open rec/tv area with a fold-out couch and laundry area. The basement opens up to a lower brick patio area and has access to the garage. The driveway provides plenty of parking for cars/boats.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Cate and Joe Hollenbeck

Host profile image
Our parents/in-laws built our home in the 70s and we bought it from them in 1998. Since then we have lived in our home off and on and have returned to it every summer as we've lived and worked overseas. We have rented homes all over the world and appreciate when we stay in places that are well supplied and provide the extra touches of comfort and convenience. We hope that will be your experience as well when you stay in our home.

Why they chose this property

This is a wonderful place to have privacy yet still be close to town and the surrounding area. The house has many amenities that you might look for in renting a home instead of staying in a hotel. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are many books, games, and toys available for people of all ages. We're happy to help make your stay as pleasant as possible.
