Our large and gorgeous yard features a fire pit, horseshoes, large deck, picnic table, and patio. Watch the swans, geese, ducks, herons, eagles, and other wildlife from the big picture windows in the house or from the deck while you sip your morning coffee or tea.

The upper level of the house contains one bedroom and a loft area, each with new comfortable queen beds, dressers, and nightstands. The main level is open with a spacious living room with a sofa sleeper, double recliner, a kitchen/dining area, and bathroom with jetted tub and shower. The laundry is located in the basement. The flooring in the home is new.

The cabin is another full living space with a full kitchen (gas range, full-sized refrigerator), living room, bathroom with tiled shower, and a bedroom with a queen bed. We also provide a queen air mattress.

The house and cabin are adjoined by the deck with spectacular views of the bay.

    We are a Birding and Nature family and the location gets high marks from us. Especially the bike path. Easy drives to Glen Arbor and Leland and of course the Sand Dunes. Frankfort has some good restaurants.

    Lovely cabin with many adventurous options for fun! The location is perfect, on the river with trail access and less than a mile from town.

    Two loft bedrooms with one bath downstairs. Many night climbs up and down. I would not rent again due to this alone. I must have missed in the listing.

    Loved the proximity to the Betsie, bike trail, and downtown Frankfort. Both the house and the apartment were well equipped. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had. We had a wonderful time!!

    This house is in a great location, between Frankfort and Elberta. It comfortably fit our large family. Great amenities such as canoes/kayaks with access to Betsie Bay, and a spacious outdoor area with fire pit, patio, grill and deck. Beaches, restaurants and shopping all within walking or biking distance. We will definitely book here again.
