Ben and Amy’s house is the perfect size for a medium to large group. There is enough space indoors for spreading out and relaxing, the bedrooms are spacious and plenty of bathrooms!The outdoor spaces are just amazing, the large deck on the back of the house is very comfortable and the front porch is beautiful! The goats and chickens were a favorite of our grandson.I cannot say enough good things about this home and property! The kitchen is large with a table and seating at the island and has plenty of everything you need for cooking and eating in. The home was spotless when we arrived with milk and eggs in the frig.The host is extremely responsive, text replies were immediate.We love the location, slightly outside of Frankfort but very quiet and still close to beaches and market. We will definitely stay here again on our next Michigan trip!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the home, the peaceful setting, and that your grandson had fun visiting the goats and chickens. We’re also happy the little welcome treats helped you feel at home. We’d love to host you again whenever you’re back in Northern Michigan. Safe travels, and thank you again for choosing The Orchard at Apple Ridge!
I’ll start by saying that we had a week long vacation planned at a different rental property and upon arrival at that property there were some major issues that ultimately had us preparing to cancel our trip or hopefully find another place last minute. Fortunately we were able to book with Ben and Amy at the last minute and I am so glad we did! Their space was a HUGE upgrade! From the moment we contacted them to request to book they were so accommodating. They were completely understanding with our situation and got the space ready for us immediately. Upon arrival the house was immaculately clean and absolutely beautiful, there was even eggs from their chickens in the fridge. It was truly like “coming home”. The house has everything you could need for your stay and the property is so peaceful. It was exactly what we needed after long days at Frankfort beach. The house is located about 12 minutes from the beach and downtown Frankfort, but I honestly felt myself wanted to just stay at the house and enjoy the quiet. They have goats on the property as well, which we all enjoyed visiting daily. The babies were so cute! we visit the area often and will definitely be visiting again! Thank you for such a great stay Ben and Amy! You saved our vacation!

Thank you so much! We’re so glad we were able to help turn your vacation around and that you guys enjoyed the house, the peaceful setting, and of course the goats and fresh eggs! It was a pleasure having your family stay with us, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back the next time you’re in Frankfort. Thanks again!
Such a great property! This place is awesome. The house was super cleans and renovated. Kitchen has high end finishes and we didn’t come across anything we needed and they didn’t have there. 3 upstairs rooms, 1 on main level with multiple beds and dang near an apartment downstairs. Nice deck with grill. Big fire pit with chairs. House is great. But…they also have goats! The kids and my wife had so much fun with them. It’s like a little homestead. Chickens too! The location is super close to anything g but it’s not far from a ton of things to do. We used it to see Arcadia bluffs golf, Frankfort town and beach (prob best beach we saw along the lake all week), sleeping bear dunes, crystal lake, cherry republic etc. The owners were very communicative and very nice. This is the kind of house you want to stay in. Can’t say enough good things about it.
