Built in 2018, the Birch house at Lake Bluff Preserve is perfect for large families and groups offering 9 bedrooms and four levels of living space with Lake Michigan views. Spacious and well-appointed main floor has an open floor plan, modern kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, and large dining area. Wraparound decks on two levels and a south/west exposure high above Lake Michigan provide spectacular views of the dune, water and famous West Michigan sunsets.
Each level has a separate living space so groups and families can spread out. Main and second levels each have master suites.

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, skiing at Crystal Mountain and you don't need to leave our property to hike, mountain bike and explore the dune and forests. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be enjoyed from your front door in the Winter. 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.
Watch sunsets, bald eagles, whitetail deer, monarch butterflies and other native species from the comfort of your deck.

**Due to high water and erosion on Lake Michigan, we have closed the stairs down the Bluff. If you wish to spend time on the beach, we recommend the Frankfort Public Beach or any of the public beaches on Crystal Lake.

Very close proximity to M-22 makes Lake Bluff Preserve a great rally point for car and motorcycle touring clubs, wine tourists, retreats and reunions, golfers and anyone who wants a to behold the beauty of Lake Michigan and Northern Michigan. Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.

    The property was honestly incredible, everyone kept saying how nice it was and we would happily book this location again. We visited in November for my mother’s 50th birthday with our family and a group of their friends, would love to stay here again in the summer when you can take advantage of the outdoor space. 10/10 would recommend.

    Our large family group had an excellent weekend. This house has fabulous views. It is definitely set up for larger groups. There were enough dishes, pots and pans, glasses - everything you need to cook. Beds were all comfortable. Decks were used constantly. Looking forward to coming again.

    We had a great time staying at the Birch house! It was huge, beautiful and well-equipped. The views of Lake Michigan from the bluffs were truly spectacular. The owner was communicative, accommodative, and very quick to reply. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay at your house!

    We brought 3 generations of family from across the country for a week in northern Michigan. The house allowed us to have lots of communal time on the main level which had lots of seating, a huge dining table, room for puzzles and time on the deck for incredible sunsets. Loved having 2 refrigerators! We could spread out to the other levels for privacy. Frankfurt was close for shopping. Lots of public access beaches at Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake nearby. Lovely secluded setting. Another family was having reunion next door and we coexisted nicely. Loved the outdoor fire pits. Communication with host was great. Plenty of dishes and cookware in the kitchen. We loved it!!!

    Very large property with lovely setting No issues with 4 fridges total and tons of dish ware etc Could walk trash to dumpster which was very convenient Weather was good but it was hard to enjoy the breeze off the water with only one screen door of the many glass sliding doors in the rooms If we left the doors open without screens to cool down we invited spiders and flies in So this should be remedied to enjoy the amazing breeze This was a small inconvenience in an overall experience that was wonderful

    Best view in Michigan. This was the perfect place for our biannual family reunion. We took turns preparing dinner each night and ended the week with my daughter’s wedding and reception on Saturday. The management was so nice to work with on the wedding preparation. And they responded quickly for one minor repair in one of the bathrooms. I highly recommend Lake Bluff Preserve for any family gathering, especially weddings.
