    Adjoining guest house really helps with privacy and any noise issues. Screened porch provides excellent gathering and fun spot for all. Would definitely stay again - quiet area, great swimming area and close to many sites.

    This house is gorgeous and so is the yard and lake. We really enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. However the guest house is NOT air conditioned- and gets very hot. We had to use this space with the amount of people we had and we have small children, very difficult to sleep in there especially when it is so hot. Guest services did not help us when we told them the trash was overflowing from the previous guest and all over the lawn- no one came to get it and we had no where to put our own trash, even after letting them know 2 days in a row. Despite those couple of problems we still enjoyed our stay very much and it was a very well kept cottage. An air conditioner for the guest house and a 2nd trash bin would be very helpful! I would also recommend bringing some camping chairs and beach chairs if you want something comfortable to sit on outside.

    Having rented several places from Vacasa and other rental agents, this one was a true gem. Not only was it welcoming and homey, it was impeccably clean. The sleeping accommodations were very cozy and comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked, and having a washer and dryer was a huge help. The yard and waterfront were beautifully landscaped and maintained. The outdoor fire place made a great spot to gather in the evening and for the grandkids to toast marshmallows. Having kayaks to use was an added feature our family enjoyed. It was quiet with plenty of privacy and the guest cottage was a bonus for a family with young children. We truly felt like privileged guests in someone’s very beautiful home. The decor was so lovely and it added to the ambience from the moment we walked in. We would love to return again. Thank you for sharing this amazing vacation home!

    6 of us recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lake house rental, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Nestled just a short drive from Frankfort and the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes, this property is a true gem. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the spectacular lake views. The house features large windows that perfectly frame the serene landscape, making it a peaceful retreat. We spent hours relaxing on the spacious patio and lawn, enjoying the sunsets and listening to the gentle waves. The location is unbeatable! Just minutes away from the charming town of Frankfort, we loved exploring local shops and restaurants. Plus, being so close to Sleeping Bear Dunes allowed us to easily venture out for some unforgettable hikes and breathtaking vistas. Inside, the house was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The open-concept living area was perfect for gathering with family and friends, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our cooking needs. Each bedroom was cozy and inviting, ensuring restful nights after our days of adventure. We also appreciated the easy access to the lake. Whether we were swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the water, it was the perfect way to unwind and soak in nature. Overall, this lake house exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the ideal spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the beauty of Northern Michigan. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable stay!

    The house was perfect for our family, including our three young grandchildren, who loved the guest house, the upstairs loft beds and the shallow, clear water of Platte Lake. We've been coming to this part of Michigan for over 20 years, and this house was the first one to meet our needs completely. We loved the timeless Lakehouse vibe--and how comfortable and warm the entire property was. We will definitely plan on coming back!

    This is a gorgeous home. Everything you could need. Very clean. Appreciated the shampoo/soap/toilet paper, etc. Could comfortably sleep 4 adults and 3 children in main house (3rd bedroom is a loft) and 4 more kids in guest house- guest house beds aren't great for adults or big teens (low to ground/small). Back yard is perfect for playing games- flat and not far to walk back and forth to house. We loved the fire pit (bring your own wood). Dock was nice. Lake was shallow and clear and amazing. Loved access to kayaks and paddle boards (life jackets inside guest house). This is the perfect house for a family of all ages- was easy for grandparents to get around. Flowers in the yard were beautiful. Screened in porch was our favorite spot for playing cards and meals. Grill was great- extra propane tank appreciated as the first one ran out. This was the nicest northern michigan house we have ever stayed in. We loved our stay here.

    Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! It was even more beautiful in person. The indoor space was perfect for games and big family meals. We spent so much time playing games in the large yard, the kids loved the sandy beach and the kayaks/standup paddle boards kept us on the water almost everyday. The property was covered in blooming daisies and hydrangeas which made for beautiful family pictures to help remember our week together.

    Our stay at Platte Lake Paradise was delightful. The home was welcoming, comfortable and well appointed. The great room was perfect for family time ... plenty of seating to accommodate our family of nine. Everyone enjoyed the screened in porch. It was the perfect spot to read, play games and have morning coffee. The lake views, sunrises and night sky viewing were spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Beulah and the surrounding area. We look forward to another stay at Platte Lake Paradise!

    I had friends visiting from California and Montana and wanted to show off Michigan's beautiful lakes and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. The house was perfect in every way with a beautiful porch and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Platte Lake is charming with great access to dining, Lake Michigan, Glen Arbor and the Dunes. We could have stayed for a week!

    Our family, 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and a tween, spent 5 glorious days here and cannot wait to return. The house came appointed with everything you'd need--from towels to all the cooking amenities needed. 2 SUPs and 2 kayaks made for easy enjoyment of the lake that is mere steps away. We brought our bikes and spent leisurely days enjoying the extensive bike paths near the house.
