We had a great time at Chris and Pam’s place in Frankfort. Being two blocks from downtown and less than a mile from the pier was a highlight. The place was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was a breeze. As always, we were very sad to leave Frankfort. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great cottage near downtown Frankfort. Walking distance to SO many things. Cottage was clean and had great outdoor living spaces. The house fan kept us cool as well as the ceiling fans. Kitchen is a bit small but we made it work for our large group. Dinners on the porch were perfection!

Great location! Worked well for us. Only issue was with water pressure while using both showers.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Nov 2025
Thank you Joan, Sorry you had an issue with the showers. To future renters unfortunately this can be a problem in Frankfort in some of the older houses. Water pressure can drop a bit so if you run both showers the pressure can drop. This doesn't happen all the time but something to be aware of if you plan on renting. Best Chris and Pam

Although our stay was not 5-stars, I will say that the owners were responsive. I'm sharing this review so future renters know what they are getting and owners can make corrections so what happened to us doesn't happen to future renters. As a family who has two cabins in Frankfort (that are rented all summer) & house in Benzonia, I would never want any of our renters to experience this: 1) Upon arrival, the house was FILTHY! Numerous piles of dog hair all over the house, all over furniture, including in the sheets of the "made bed". I was shocked that there was dog hair within the bed sheets upon our arrival. Suggest if you are going to allow dogs, to allow more time for your cleaner to clean. Or change policy and do not allow dogs in your rental. The cleaner came back to vacuum up hair balls & change all the sheets which took 90 mins. She also made excuses on why the house was not clean, which was unprofessional. As much as we appreciate the corrective action, it was very disruptive to the first night of our stay. 2) Supplies were low upon arrival - hand soap ran out and we did not locate more. There was no body wash & minimal laundry pods upon our arrival. Appreciate if everything is stocked upon arrival. 3) House looks nicer in photos. The shower in the master bathroom is not tiled correctly so plan on standing in a pool of water while showering. Additionally, do not plan to use any combo of showers, shower washer, as there will be no water pressure.

Normally I am a person that says if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all but, I feel inclined to answer this. Color me a bit dubious if you are telling me you own 2 houses in Frankfort (that you rent), and one 10 minutes away, that you are putting this review in to help. You are showing close-up pictures of the stairs to the lower level. We also had the cleaner take pictures. There was some pet hair so we sent the cleaner back in. As an owner that rents their property, I think you would agree making it right for your guest is the priority. By your clock they were there 90 minutes. You were out 60 minutes so it was 30 minutes that you were inconvenienced. We would have preferred it didn't happen but it did and for those 30 minutes you were compensated considerably. As for extra supplies, they are in the cabinet in the basement. Also, the tiles done incorrectly? The shower was done 5 years ago so that's a new one. Thanks for that. For future guests please read all the reviews. Preferably from a non-competitors in the area. We have rented our second home for over 8 years. There are three reviews, including this one, that said the house was not cleaned to their standards and we made it right. We also mention that we are pet friendly. This is our family vacation home (not a profit center). We believe the entire family should be part of the family vacation which would include pets. We also mention that the water pressure may drop. This something in the city we can't control. Every pipe in the house has been updated or replaced. Finally, you will see with every review, including the bad ones, that we are responsive and will do WHATEVER it takes for you to enjoy your vacation. Finally please reach out and ask questions before renting. We will answer everything we can. We would rather not rent then rent to someone who has a bad experience. Best Chris and Pam
