Dune House is surrounded by woods and trails and all the wildlife that will excite your sense of adventure. Take a short walk to the crest of Lake Bluff Preserve to view the spectacular views of Lake Michigan.
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. We hope to reopen the stairs as soon as mother nature allows us.**

Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.

    Great location for all the wedding activities. Comfortable beds and plenty of amenities provided. Carpets could use a cleaning then it would be all 5 stars.

    Really enjoyed our reunion here with our children their significant others and our grand child. Large house with great accommodations including many private bathrooms adjoining bedrooms and great kitchen, indoor eating area, living room, and outside deck. We ate most of our meals outside on the very large dining table on the deck. Local Sleeping Bear dunes, Arcadia, Frankfort, Lake Michigan beaches, Crystal Lake all amazing. Enjoyed local wineries and breweries. Beautiful sunset view over lake from bluffs just a short hike away from house.

    The Dune House provided spacious and comfortable accommodations for my immediate family during our week-long stay. (Note Dune House is a misnomer because the building is situated in the midst of an old pine-tree farm about 1/3 mile away from the crest of the dune. We were aware of that beforehand.) Its expansive deck served admirably as the venue for the party that celebrated my wife's and my 50-year wedding anniversary. The fact that most every bedroom has its own bathroom was highly appreciated. So too was the pet-friendly policy.

    The place was wonderful. Clean big, everything was there — including all necessary cooking supplies, dishes, sufficient seating for a big party of 13 people. The view was amazing so were the dunes. We would have liked the stairs to the beach to be open since we were really looking for a beach property without hopping into the car. However, the view, dunes, the house were amazing !
