About this property

Large Historic Home with views of Crystal Lake & Lake Michigan

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, hiking, and mountain biking. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.


This iconic property was built in the 1930s and has been in the same family for generations. Affectionately known as Big House, this property has stunning views of Crystal Lake in the foreground and Lake Michigan and Great Bear Dunes in the distance. The expansive outdoor patio provides for leisurely meals and taking in world class sunsets from “the top of the world.” The charming town of Frankfort and its wonderful Lake Michigan beach is a five minute drive through an enchanting forest. The home was recently refreshed with new furniture in many rooms, new mattresses and linens throughout, and a fresh coat of paint upstairs. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, multiple families can gather and enjoy idyllic Crystal Lake and Frankfort.


Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Family trip

Enjoyed our stay at The Big House. We had plenty of room for us. Beds were very comfortable. Views of crystal lake, Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear dunes was outstanding from the back porch. So relaxing and peaceful. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

Amazing Stay!!!

We just loved the surreal feeling of this house. It made us feel as if we were in the country side but we had frankfort and the crystal clear lakes right close by. The property manager was so informative and helpful. 12/10 will be booking again

Wedding Weekend in Frankfort

We came up here for a wedding. This house is very secluded and rural but only a 7 minute drive to Frankfort. The interior of the house is very dated; the interior finishes and appliances have not been updated in 30 years. That said, it was very clean and orderly.
