Secluded Waterfrnt Beach on Upper Herring ~ AC ~ All Sports ~ Stunning Sunsets!

Our 1200 sq ft. home is located on Upper Lake Herring in Frankfort, MI. Upper Herring is a beautiful all sports lake located just 5 miles from Lake Michigan and minutes from several quintessential "Up North" towns. The home can accommodate up to 8 people. There are 2 bedrooms with queen beds. The third bedroom has 2 sets of bunks. The couch in the loft pulls out to a full bed. The sandy beach yard sits on 80 feet of lake frontage.

Remodeled and painted in 2021, Sandy Shores has all the modern amenities including central air conditioning, just added in 2025, and WIFI! The television in the family room is a smart tv, allowing access to Netflix, Prime, Disney, Peacock, Apple, etc. with your personal access codes. The home has WIFI, but the signal isn't strong enough to support working from the lake. It is generally good for personal devices and the smart TV.

The home offers a large deck on the beach facing the lake, 3 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a large family sized canoe, a very large float mat, fire pit, charcoal grill, toy box with beach toys, lounge chairs, hammock, large dock, board games, DVDs, books and life jackets. Upper Lake Herring is located on a bird sanctuary, and is home to bald eagles, hawks, herons, kingfishers, swans and many more varieties of birds and wildlife such as large turtles, otters and deer.

In the Summer, enjoy great fishing, water sports and breathtaking sunsets at Sandy Shores. The lake is never crowded. Fishing is excellent for Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Rock Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Yellow Perch and Sunfish. Take in the incredible colors and vistas in the Fall. In the Winter, ski Crystal Mountain, just 20 minutes away. Our home is perfect for every season.

My family and I throughly enjoyed our week long vacation at this lake front house. The house was cozy, comfortable, and had the space to dine for my husband and I and our five children. Sleeping & seating arrangements were plush. The lakeside deck provided us with breathtaking views and sunsets, providing great memories. The dock and water craft provided allowed for great family fun around the water. A canoe was available for fishing. The town of Frankfort was a nice get away and Lake Michigan provided opportunities to visit local restaurants, shops, and churches. We recommend this property to anyone looking for an excellent and relaxing stay! The host Chris was friendly, attentive, and easy to communicate with and provided lots of local recommendations. It is clear he takes great lengths to ensure his guests are comfortable , thinking both of small and big amenities. Thank you for a a wonderful stay! Zebrine Family, Pittsburgh, PA

Great Lake Get Away

My husband and I stayed here with our 3 kids (13, 10, and 6) for a week in July. We love Frankfort, and this cottage was in a great location to enjoy many of the things we love about the area. The kids caught fish, and we enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks.

Delightful spot!

A lovely restful place. Sunsets to die for. The lake and overall venue is quiet. Seven of us ages 7, 12, 14 and parents and grandparents -- delightful week of sandy beach, fishing, boating, kayaks, paddle boards and especially the "Towboggan!" We were new to the Frankfort/Benzonia area and fell in love with it.

Lovely place!

We had a wonderful week! The house had everything we needed in terms of amenities even down to board games for the kids. Being right on the lake was great and having access to the boats, life vests, fire pit, hammock, and sand toys meant that there was so much to do right right in our backyard. There really was something for everyone. The location is enchanting with spectacular sunsets, beautiful wildlife, the possibility of swimming and fishing right outside your door, a lovely town nearby for pizza and ice cream, or the quick run to the store for essentials. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to come back in the future.

Peaceful Lake Stay!

We loved our time on Upper Herring Lake! So peaceful and beautiful with great fishing, amazing sunsets, and a cozy, clean cottage. *NOTE THE NO A/C* I missed this on the listing but we were lucky to have cool nights and warm days so sleeping was still comfortable. Our kids loved playing in the large sandy area out front and we made good use of the paddleboards, canoe and kayaks. Also the pontoon was great for extra space to fish and hang out near the end of the dock. Chris was an excellent host/communicator and take his advice on Upriver Pizza...it's fantastic!

Perfect Family Vacation

Our kids range from 5-16 and everyone had fun during our stay! We loved that Frankfort was a short drive for dinners or shopping- we found that even in mid July, the crowds were not too bad and the beach was not overly saturated with people. The house is lovely- great views, comfortable accommodations, and clean. We made a couple of breakfasts and dinners and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The yard was great for reading, playing, or fires. We fished from the dock most evenings (after 7 when the water calmed down). The kayaks and paddleboards were fun too! We watched a family of bald eagles over the lake one night and a black bear crossed the road one morning on our way to town. This is a very special place and would be a wonderful #puremichigan experience for anyone looking to enjoy "up north". Chris was very helpful during check in and during our stay. We're already talking about another trip in the fall for salmon fishing on Lake Michigan.

Excellent, quiet, location

Chris, wanted to say, everything was as listed for this property. The home was very well equipped, and the beach sand was a hit with the kids, as well as the kayaks and paddle boards. Seeing the Eagles fly over every morning was a hi light as well. The lake and neighborhood was as quiet as imaginable. Location is far enough away, yet close enough to everything you need. The evenings were beautiful overlooking the lake and the views facing westward were spectacular. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Simply excellent

My wife, two young children, two grandparents, and myself had a fantastic time here. The house can comfortably accommodate two families and, due to the open layout in the main living area and kitchen, still feel spacious. The lake is right there for water play, and the water toys (paddle boards, kayaks, and especially the floating mat) were a huge hit. The lake is about waist to chest deep for some distance out, and while not as clear as other nearby lakes, it has the advantage that it is less developed with little boat traffic. The view from the house is of natural beauty on the opposing side of the lake. We had family friends, also with young children, staying nearby in Empire, and they joined us for a couple afternoons/evenings for grilling on the deck, digging in the sand, shucking corn, playing on the lake, and stories round the campfire. It really was an ideal place for spending time with friends and the children and just feeling relaxed. My family's favorite u-pick blueberry farm is close by, and all the attractions/amenities in Beulah, Benzonia, Frankfort, and Sleeping Bear Dunes are easily accessible.

A slice of heaven

Our week at the beach house was perfect! It was everything the owner promised and more. The location was ideal, peaceful and situated right on the water. We enjoyed long, lazy days fishing, kayaking, canoeing and enjoying the fresh, cool Michigan weather. The sunsets were breathtaking and after the sun went down, the star-filled sky was something I had only seen in movies. We loved our outings to nearby towns, with beautiful beaches, fun family style restaurants and pubs, "America's Best Cherry Pie" and ice cream and a wide variety of shops. If you are feeling really adventurous, there's the Scenic Highway, that gives you breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and The Dunes. This might have been the best vacation ever! Michigan has stolen this Ohio girl's heart!

Up North With Family

We had an excellent time at Sandy Shores! Location was a great stepping off point to many activities in the area. The home was very comfortable and the view of the lake from the family room/kitchen was spectacular. Chris was very responsive to inquires and provided additional information of the area. Due to the weather (cool & windy) we only got out on the lake with SUPs and Kayaks. Only call-out… we were aware of no internet but even my hotspot connectivity was spotty. It’s vacation so we were able to find some alternate solutions for family that needed to check in on work or school. I would highly recommend a trip to Sandy Shores, you will not be disappointed.

Fun week at Sandy shores

Great location and access to nearby towns and lake Michigan beaches....cottage was very clean on arrival and sandy beach area, swimming and dock great for kids. Lake was not busy and location quiet...beautiful setting. Owner Chris extremely helpful and answered texts immediately. Loved access to kayaks and canoe with plenty of size choices for life preservers so kids could join in. WIFI would have been a bonus due to family checking in at work. Fabulous week of family fun following a long period of inability to spend time together....thank you for sharing your special place Chris and family!!

Perfect LAKEFRONT home for our family of 5!

We absolutely loved this beautifully maintained, private, serene, LAKEFRONT property and home. Our 3 boys spent countless hours floating in the lake, fishing from the dock, and playing Spikeball, tag, and running bases on the sandy beach. We also enjoyed the kayaks, fires in the bonfire pit (wood was provided!!), and the gorgeous sunsets over the lake. The inside of the house is bright, open, uncluttered, and so well decorated! We appreciated the quality and coziness of the beds, bed linens and towels, and couches. The kitchen and laundry closet were well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the location of this property. We were easily able to access and enjoy nearby towns like Frankfort, Elberta and Beulah, and local experiences/adventures like Blueberry picking, Crystal Mountain Alpine Slides, Arcadia Golf Course, Arcadia Scenic Overlook, and Putt Putt. We even did a one-day excursion driving along the coast to Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Leland and Suttons Bay. We will always look back on this week with fondness! THANK YOU to Chris and his family for letting us enjoy their incredible lake home.

Beautiful Michigan Vacation

Sandy Shores is a magical place. I spent hours every day sitting on the deck looking at the water and watching the boats. We had a campfire every evening and made s'mores. We played board and card games with our daughter and grandchildren at the kitchen table and had big family breakfasts several mornings using the well stocked kitchen. It was a time for reconnecting and bonding and Sandy Shores was the perfect place to do this. We will definitely be back.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Chris Donohue

We are Chris and Michele Donohue. We live in Louisville, KY. We have 4 amazing "kids": Katie (24), Will (23), Caroline (20) and Sophie (18). Follow our Lakehouse page on Instagram @sandyshoresfrankfort

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We first vacationed in Northern Michigan in 2006. We had heard from friends how amazing it was "Up North". So, instead of heading south to Destin for a week vacation, we rented a house on Upper Lake Herring, in Frankfort, Michigan. We had the time of our lives. We loved it so much, we bought a house several doors down from the home we rented.

Unfortunately, as the kids get older and our lives get busier, we aren't able to go Up North as much as we'd like.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Sandy Shores, as our daughter, Caroline, named our Up North home, has amazing sunsets and a beach right on the water. Upper Lake Herring is located on a bird sanctuary. So, in addition to the plethora of wildlife in the area, much of the land on, and surrounding, Upper Herring is owned and protected by the state of Michigan. We are one of only 60 or so homes on the lake. Over two thirds of the shoreline is uninhabited. It is a smaller lake (about 600 acres), but boasts warmer waters, excellent fishing and is an all sports lake, so bring your jet ski or boat!
