Another great Frankfort stay
This house is perfectly located in the heart of Frankfort and so close to Main st so you can walk everywhere. It’s spacious and so much bigger than it looks in the photos which is amazing! The front porch was our favorite place to relax.

Quaint Town, Great Location, Perfect Beach Vacation
Our family has stayed all up and down the Lake MI coast and we loved Frankfort! Everything about our trip exceeded expectations! The house is in a great location - we biked to the beach every day & walked to shops & restaurants (and ice cream!) every evening. A couple 1/2 day trips to Glen Arbor / Sleeping Bear, and the alpine slide at Crystal Mountain. The house is as described and Madeline was great on communication. Highly recommend!

Great place in Frankfort
This place has everything needed for family with kids: toys, books, very well equipped kitchen. Location is very convenient, 5 min walk to beach and one block away from all the activities. Madeline is very responsive, trying to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Great Location
Everything within walking distance! House is very cute, but beds are very uncomfortable and one seems very unstable so suggest bringing along some extra bedding if you have room. Overall we had a great stay.

Frankfort stay
This home was perfect for our family of 5. Located downtown, everything was within walking distance. The laundry room is brand new and huge. We so appreciated that because we had stayed somewhere else prior and had to do 2 loads right away. There is no yard for kids to play in, but we did so much hiking and other activities that it was not an issue. Nice quiet neighborhood too.
