Why they chose this property

My family has been coming up to Benzie county Michigan since 1917 and the area is very special to me. It is very beautiful and there is so much to do. There are countless hiking trails, scenic views, shipwrecks, restaurants, breweries, and small towns up and down the coast.

This house is very private with a private lakefront. It is a great place to spend a week or more with close family and friends. I myself have bonded with so many people in this area on many different excursions.

The house is very close to Frankfort, Michigan. It is also near the Baldy hike, Elberta Dunes, Arcadia Marsh Hike, St. Pierre Biking Trails, Empire Bluffs, Sleeping Bear, Frankfort Beach, Stormcloud Brewery, and Crystal Mountain. Traverse City is a 45 minute drive.

-House comes with a washer & dryer, free wifi, 45' Smart TV, fully equipped kitchen, linens provided, beds made, fire ring, paddle boards, and canoe.
