A really wonderful rental location. The views of the lake were wonderful from the porch and especially from the second floor bedrooms. The home is right next to a beach access path and is a very convient distance from downtown.

A beautiful home overlooking Lake Michigan. Plenty of room. Kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed sitting out on the deck enjoying the beautiful summer. As they had mentioned, the walk down to the beach is a little steep, but you can always walk down the street and go to the public beach. The house is loaded with books and games. The city of Frankfort is a short walk away. Highly recommend this spot.

Perfect location for our couples golf trip. The only upgrade we could think is to upgrade all the beds to king/queens and maybe a bigger TV. Other than that place was clean and had every we needed.

We really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space for a big family, typical lake house style with its own charm and touches. You could feel the family vibe to it. The best part was the location - the stairs down to the beautiful beach were in the backyard basically and you can walk downtown (10 mins).

This is a nice place. The location is great. The home has stairs to the main living area and another flight of stairs that leads to most of the bedrooms. It was clean but could use some updating. The beds were uncomfortable. The view of the lake is obstructed by a line of overgrown bushes.

Great Lakes Getaway

Great Lakes Getaway may be the perfect home! The house is beautiful, well appointed and has plenty of space- and I don’t think the location could be more perfect! From the spectacular views of the lake to the short walk to Main Street- it was exactly as described and more! We can’t wait to return! Jean was fantastic to work with as well!
