Big House

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, hiking, and mountain biking. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.


This iconic property was built in the 1930s and has been in the same family for generations. Affectionately known as Big House, this property has stunning views of Crystal Lake in the foreground and Lake Michigan and Great Bear Dunes in the distance. The expansive outdoor patio provides for leisurely meals and taking in world class sunsets from “the top of the world.” The charming town of Frankfort and its wonderful Lake Michigan beach is a five minute drive through an enchanting forest. The home was recently refreshed with new furniture in many rooms, new mattresses and linens throughout, and a fresh coat of paint upstairs. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, multiple families can gather and enjoy idyllic Crystal Lake and Frankfort.
