Beautiful, spacious, clean, and tranquil. The perfect up north vacation!

Unplug and relax. In addition to the location and amenities, we work hard to make sure that cleanliness, comfort, and safety are a part of your stay.

The house is always thoroughly cleaned prior to our guests' arrival, including sanitizing all the countertops, sinks, and bathrooms. But throughout these times we want to continue to make sure it’s as safe as it can be for you and your family as possible. Prior to your arrival, the house will be fully cleaned and hard frequently touched surfaces will be disinfected, including all the usual items that are sanitized (counters, tabletops, bathrooms, etc.) we will also disinfect all the “touchy” items such light switches, door handles (inside and out), cabinet knobs, remotes, door, window, and railing woodwork, billiard balls/cue sticks, etc. There are bathroom amenities placed out for you at each guest turnover. Also, just in case you’d like an extra level of comfort, there will be disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer for your use upon arrival. (In addition to everything you need for your morning coffee and fixings for s’mores.) These procedures take time, so please be aware that short notice bookings may not be available.

Located just three miles from Lake Michigan, Deerpath offers accommodations and a location that's close to all that is wonderful about "Up North" in Michigan. With a beautiful view, Deerpath sits on almost 18 acres, making the setting perfect for a little peace and quiet.

One of the unique features of Deerpath is there are complete separate living quarters on both the first and second floors. Both levels has its own kitchen, laundry, bedrooms and baths, which makes it perfect for two families that want to vacation together yet maintain some space. Rooms are windowed and the house is full light and sunshine during the day. Rental fee includes both levels.

The view of Betsie Valley and Lake Michigan in the distance makes for a stunning sunset view from the second story's living room or front deck. Excellent outdoor cooking facilities, a fire ring, and a horse shoe pit make up some of the outdoor amenities on site. And for days when the weather isn't cooperative, there's a comfy TV room with a large flat screen TV and DVD player and a variety of movies, as well as game rooms with a billiard table and a dart board, and a nice selection of family-friendly board games too.

The house is just minutes away from Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake beaches, downtown Frankfort, the Betsie Trail System, the Frankfort Public Marina, and Betsie River put-ins for kayaking, fishing, and canoeing. And you'll be within 20 minutes of many of the area's prime golf courses, including Champion Hill, Pinecroft, Crystal Lake, Chestnut Hills, and the award-winning courses at Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.

This is my home and not a "rental unit" so you'll have nice towels, real flatware, good cookware, and nice dishes for your stay. You may have deer and wild turkeys wander through the yard, but they are good visitors and just pass peacefully through. The house has satellite TV and Internet service.

I do ask for at least least two personal references that are not relatives or members of the rental party prior to accepting a deposit and confirming the reservation.
