This was perfect for my husband and I. We were not looking for strictly a beach vacation, but wanted to explore the whole area and this was centrally located to all of the places we wanted to go. The property was clean, comfortable, well organized, and in the quiet countryside. We had a mama deer and her baby fawn visit on our first night. We discovered great local eats, checked out Interlochen, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Riverside Canoe Rentals, the alpine slide at Crystal Mountain, and the town of Frankfort with its beautiful beach - an easy 25 minute drive away. If we had stayed at a beach location we wouldn't have done all of these other things. Check out the Iron Fish Distillery at the end the road. The pizza and strawberry lemon gin drinks are a must.
