120' on Waterfront-Platte Lake Lodge-Pontoon Available!!

This place is like a slice of heaven on earth!! 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!! We visited Leland, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort. This was a great central location. The lake is clear and wasn’t too cold. Breathtaking sunsets right from the dock. Beds were comfy and I wanted to take the pillows home. We weren’t sure about the bathroom being in the main house only but it real wasn’t an issue. Stay here!! You won’t regret it! Thank you for having us and can’t wait to come back!!

Loved all the additional buildings so everyone has privacy. Great location. Brought our dog and she loved it. Will definitely be coming back

Perfect place for a weekend golf trip!

Beautiful property with plenty of space! We absolutely loved this house and it was perfect for our family. We had an event in Frankfort and it was a great location. The kids enjoyed kayaking and playing in the water, while the adults enjoyed relaxing by the lake. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and clean !

We had a wonderful week! Check-in was simple and Katie was immediately available for anything we needed. The setting is so quiet and peaceful, very few boats on the lake, even on the weekend. A bald eagle visited every day, and listening to the loons and sandhill cranes was magical. The availability of the pontoon was awesome, as were all the kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, all of which we used every day. Great campfires and stargazing every night topped it all off. Having firewood available was nice too!

The outside property had plenty of room for the kids to play in the yard and in the water. We loved the kayaks, the pool table and the ping pong table. The kitchen was well furnished, however the pots and pans could use some updating. I was under the impression the main house was air conditioning however, one upstairs room had a portable air conditioner but the other bedroom did not. The main floor did not have air conditioning and due to the high outside temperature it caused the house to be very warm. There was wifi however it could use updated and WiFi extender through out the houses. Overall we had a great stay and would consider renting it again.

We enjoyed our stay at Platte lake. The lake was beautiful and we used the kayaks and paddle boards several times. The available firewood made it so nice to not worry about purchasing on the way. The bunk house had a very strong, but clean, smell that prevented us from sleeping in it even after hours of airing it out. We were disappointed that the hot tub listed was inaccurate as that was a key search component and something our party was hoping for. We enjoyed many surrounding sights and attractions such as the St Ambrose cellars and the sleeping bear dunes. Would stay here again!

Based on the review’s, we booked our stay 9 months ago. We just completed our week and the property did not disappoint - We loved it! There were only four of us and our dog, so plenty of space for all of us. The property can definitely handle four times the amount of our group. The property came equipped with kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit, dock, and more. Very shallow water well out past the dock. You can see the dark edge where it drops. Great place for swimming, not so much for fishing. You need to be out in the deeper water where the shelf is where all the fishing boats were fishing. Jeff has a pontoon available for use for an additional fee. The area where this property sits is close to town, yet secluded and in a private area via a good dirt road. No road or traffic noise, was very quiet. Great star gazing at night. We were lucky enough to have no rain during our stay. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Jeff was very responsive to the few questions we did have and was very accommodating. The wives said some of the skillets and baking pans were heavily used and could stand to be replaced, but were still usable. That is not a complaint, just something to be considered for the future. Our 12 year old black lab absolutely loved the lake. He spent much of his time swimming. We spent time kayaking and touring. My wife grew up in the area so we know a lot of secret spots most travelers have no idea about. Bottom line is we loved our stay. You will too!

Really enjoyed the property, location and activities. I would recommend to families wanting to spend some relaxing time on the lake, while enjoying the majestic surrounding area of northern Michigan.

We had a fantastic time. We rented the pontoon. Did a little swimming and fishing off the pontoon. We used the included kayaks and paddleboard daily. They had a great sanded area where my granddaughter (2 1/2) played and built sandcastles. We rented another home about a mile away so we had a total of 18 people in and out. We played volleyball as there is a official net set up. My only complaint, the ball needed more air and we didn't have a needle. There is a pool table which we did not use but we did use the ping pong table for a little beer pong. We had a Hawaiian Luah one evening and the two tables on the back patio accommodated all of us. Close to downtown Frankfort. We golfed at Crystal Mountain. Visited two breweries and 1 distillery close by. Hikes Sleeping Bear Dunes. My husband and son road their bikes on the tart trail from Traverse City to Sutton Bay and back. We had a tour bus come and pick us up and we went to a couple wineries in Sutton Bay. We just alll around enjoyed ourselves. We always had dinners at the house. Never went out. Now, Jeff and Larry we need to talk your wives into renting us your home too, lol, and hopefully, a great combined price for both homes and pontoon.

We are a large family of varying ages. This is the perfect place for everyone! Jeff was the perfect host and easily accessible. The layout of the 3 living areas was perfect, as the loft was great for all-our kids. We rented the pontoon and it worked great. This property is so close to so many things and works well for large groups. We all agreed it is one of the nicest places we have ever rented!

Our grandchildren enjoyed playing in the sand, going fishing, having camp fires, kayaking and playing in the big yard.
