Perfect location that's a close drive to so many cool little towns, activities and M22! Great sized house for a family of four and kids loved the bunk beds. The host was super responsive and helpful! oh, and the sunsets….

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.

We loved our stay at Sandy Shores! The view is amazing. We loved watching the sunset every night. We had fun paddle boarding and kayaking around the lake and having a fire on cool nights. The town of Frankfort is adorable and full of amazing restaurants and a beautiful beach.

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.

Chris and his family were gracious hosts. We have a rambunctious crew of four boys under nine years old. This space accommodated us all and the access to the beach right off the house was perfect. We spent a week there and hope to go back again.

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.

Return to Sandy Shores
This was our second stay at Sandy Shores and we enjoyed the visit as much as the first. While the weather did not always cooperate, we still had a blast fishing, reading in the cottage, having fires, and of course, ice cream. The cottage has been renovated and looks great. We were very happy with our stay and would rent this property again!

Family Water Retreat
We had a great time at the cottage! The lake was a perfect temperature for swimming, fishing and watching gorgeous sunsets (when we weren’t in town getting ice cream). This was the perfect place to spend a week in our swimsuits and forget about deadlines and other trappings of life. Our kids loved the beach and making s’mores in the fire pit. We all enjoyed the kayaks and family canoe rides before sunset. And the lake is teeming with fish. My daughters learned to fish on this trip and the activity didn’t disappoint. Overall, the cottage provided us the mental break and recharge we all needed. Chris (owner) was incredibly helpful and accessible throughout the process. The pictures accurately display the property. We are looking forward to returning next year!

この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
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.
この宿泊施設の特徴
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!
