Place is an older house. Neat and clean and had a great front porch. Location was walking distance to beach and to the beautiful downtown area. Parking was great. Saw many beautiful sunsets. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay! Great location and nicer than the listing photos. One of the most comfortable vacation rental mattresses I’ve ever slept on. Appreciated the folding table and chairs. As some other reviews mention, the shower is tiny (a handheld sprayer would help). Will very likely return.

Beautiful town. Great location!
Great location for a vacation. Centered in the middle of it all. Maybe a little tight for 4 people but, with so much to do in the area, we were hardly in the room at all. Beds were comfy which is important when traveling and all you want to do is pass out after a long day.

Great location for a visit to Frankfort!
The location of this property is perfect for walking to the beach, downtown shops and restaurants, or biking over to hop on the Betsie River Trail. We had everything we needed, just might bring flannel sheets and an extra blanket next time for the blow up mattress that’s in the pull out couch. It truly was a great spot for our weekend up north!

Thanks Kristin we agree that our location cannot be beat. We have a brand new sofa bed with a very comfortable inflatable mattress in the living room as well as a queen size bed in the bedroom. We’ll also make sure that we put the blankets and heavy comforters on in the fall in case it gets chilly. We always have space heaters and a wall heater available so next time you come please let us know if you have trouble locating those items or turning on the heater.

We had so much fun in Frankfort staying at the Serendipity House! The location is perfect, right near our favorite places to eat, The Coho and Stormcloud microbrewery and just a 1-minute walk to the beach! The rooms were spotlessly clean, owners were friendly and easy and the beds were comfy!!! We loved it and will always stay at Serendipity if we can!

Wonderful place! The owner, Tim, was great and the unit had everything we needed.
Clean and close to everything. The lake was just a block away and shops and restaurants were in walking distance. Great brewery with tasty pub food selections, just a few blocks away. Wonderful experience. We stayed because it was a short drive to Arcadia Bluffs golf course.

Perfect location
The upstairs rooms were comfortable, the TV had a cable connection and the wifi worked. It was perfect for a couple day- stay. For our 2-week stay, the mini fridge was too small, the shower stall (like a phone booth) was too small, and the single-ply toilet paper was disappointing. There were lots of nice towels. And Sarah was always available if there was any questions or issues. The need was comfortable. We would definitely come back for a short stay.

As expected
The location is the selling point. Could not be better. The listing says it can sleep 4 which is true, but I would not put more than three in there. Also, the kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. Just do not plan on cooking alot of meals in the kitchen. It is not that well appointed. Better to go out and enjoy the local restaurants. Overall we were very pleased and plan to rent again next year.

The Lakeview offers a kitchenette which is a wee bit smaller than a full kitchen but has everything you need to prepare a meal if you choose.

Basic but clean and great location
The location of this property is fantastic - it's right across the street from the bay, two blocks from the beach, and steps to restaurants. The space itself is clean and very basic. A few things that weren't necessarily noted in the VRBO description - there are zero toiletries provided - no soap, no shampoo, etc. We didn't bring any so the first day we had to make do until we made a trip to the store. The molded stand up shower is tiny - an average person can barely turn around in it. The compact fridge has no ability to keep a bag of ice. It's a second floor walk up - no elevator (important to me as I was carrying my bike). None of these things were a major issue for us or hindered our stay, but important to note for other renters. Overall the stay was very enjoyable and would recommend the apartment to others.

Dear Katharine,
We agree that our location is the best. We're sorry you didn't know we don't provide bath soap, shampoo or conditioner - that information was listed on the welcome letter I emailed you prior to your stay. We do provide our guests with liquid soft soap and dish soap but not bar soap for the bath.
The Lakeview Suite has a beautiful view of the Betsie Bay as noted on the listing. It also has a full kitchenette with sink, disposal, toaster, coffee, sugar, napkins, paper towels, coffee maker, microwave, over, cooktop and mini-fridge. We also provide linens and towels for our guests. Thanks for booking with us and we hope to see you again.

Great location and a wonderful stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for an anniversary weekend. The location — two blocks to the beach one direction, and two blocks to the brewery and restaurants in the other is ideal. It is a bit noisy from the other guests, but that is to be expected in a house of this age. All-in-all, we had a wonderful weekend, and will be back. I’d recommend adding a guestbook of some sort, so visitors can leave their notes and impressions for the next guests. It’s always nice to see how far people have travelled to get there!

Great Locaton
The overall experience was good. There was a discrepancy between the listing and what was actually in the unit. When you search for 2 bedroom 1 bath this listing comes up. There is one bedroom and a living room with a pull out couch. The matress on the pull out couch is an air matress. It was very comfortable. Better than your standard pull out couch mattresses. The online description says there is shampoo and standard soaps, the detailed description after you have paid for the property says no bath soap and no shampoo. Anyway just FYI, the owners are aware and are going to change the online details.
Other than that we had a great time. Wish we had another day to really wonder around town.

Great location, good amenities, on its way up
We stayed in the Lakeview Suite for three nights. We had two adults, a five year old and a baby. Some of the decor has been updated from the pictures shown.
Location: Excellent. 1 block to beautiful beach, go the other way for shopping and restaurants. Can even walk to grocery store (>1mile) if needed. Tiny view of lake Betsy though the windows, best view is from the toilet - not kidding.
Space: good space for two adults plus pack-n-play (provided by Serendipity house) in the bedroom, especially if you block off the internal entry door and just use the external door as we did. May not be so pleasant in the winter. Living space had a sleeper sofa, but it takes up all available room so we used a small inflatable bed (we brought our own) for our 5yo and then propped it in the corner so we had living space during the day. Bathroom is ample, though shower is small.
Amenities: Kitchenette had all appliance, pots, pans, etc. Including dish soap. Need to bring your own salt pepper and other condiments. Bathroom had plenty of towels though some were slightly stained (not gross - just showing wear). No shampoo or shower soaps provided. Enough space and hooks for storage of clothing, gear, and food supplies. Clothesline in back for drying suits was very helpful. We didn't use the picnic table, backyard chairs, or fire pit, but they were all there. "Grill" is a tiny webber charcoal camp grill. Will do the trick if you're desperate, but too fussy for our needs. Peaceful backyard setting with just other home noise, not business noise. Nice front porch to people watch or read. Beach chairs provided in the bedroom. Owner appeared to be working in grounds and doing other maintenance while we were there - I took that as a good sign. Good service interactions.
Cleanliness: Average. This is the one that will keep me from letting my mom stay here. Carpets were worn and had stains and there were stains on the couch. We found earrings in the floor when we arrived which made me question the vacuum job. Linens were clean, but bedcover did not appear to be made of a washable material. Perhaps they switch them out and get them laundered - otherwise... Dust on pictures and flat surfaces, sand in drawers. Looks like they weren't wiped out between guests. Kitchen was clean as was the bathroom. Honestly, I think it just might be too much for one housekeeper to handle during peak season. Nothing gross - just not as nice as it could have been.
We had a great time.

Outstanding Location and Classic Charm
We have stayed at Serendipity House several times since it opened and have always found it to be charming and very centrally located. Each time we've visited we've seen a constant improvement in upkeep and renovations. Very laid back atmosphere with an inviting front porch where we have met other guests from Germany, Washington State and Japan. We've never looked for a hotel when staying in Frankfort and this fits the bill. 2 blocks from the beach and 1 block to town. The rooms are well kept and clean. Bathrooms are stocked with towels and chairs are provided for the beach. It's nice to be able to take our dog with us and have never had a problem with noise.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Sarah Bannister McCallum
The Bannister got into innkeeping accidentally, when his stepfather surprised his mother with the purchase of a resort with 12 cottages and a motel in nearby Arcadia. It was a long, colorful and rocky road until the resort was sold off in 2007, but Tim learned a great deal as an innkeeper and decided to build off that experience.
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
Pierside Lodging had been a bed-and-breakfast that had been closed and mothballed for 4 years when Tim purchased the property and renamed it 'Serendipity House.' Built in 1890, the house had started out as an inn, going back to hosting the workers who built the Frankfort Pier.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Today, Serendipity House is a one-of-a-kind inn designed for vacationers who want a unique experience that includes their accommodations. Situated on Main Street a block from Lake Michigan and at the edge of Frankfort's charming downtown district, the inn recalls earlier times when residents would call out greetings and exchange gossip from their big front porch to passersby. Serendipity has the big front porch and updated living space with all the amenities for vacationers who enjoy something unique.
