    This is a great place to have your privacy and personal beach, and still be 10 minutes from everything you need and want to do. The owner was very responsive and replied immediately when we asked a few questions. Steelhead were swimming up the stream right beside the deck and you could watch them. I would definitely stay here again.

    Mike was easy to get a hold of if we needed anything, which wasn’t much. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Peaceful and beautiful. We loved going out to Lake Michigan and walking the beach. Thank you.

    Beautiful house! right on the creek! With the view of the lake! It's hard to beat the sound of the creek and the view of the lake. Short boat ride to Lake Michigan is also pretty cool! We loved the heated floors in the living room to!

    I stayed in this beautiful property with my husband, 2 month old, mom, and brother. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and have our own space, in addition to cozy shared spaces to spend time together. The photos of the house, yard, and lake don’t do it justice. The kitchen is spacious and beautifully updated, and the living rooms are tranquil with large windows looking out into the yard. The backyard has lots of great furniture to lounge on, beautiful flowers and landscaping, and of course the calming presence of the stream and lake. We enjoyed grilling out and using the paddle boards and kayaks, and having campfires by the lakeshore. The property is also a short drive to Frankfort, with plenty of great restaurants and shops. We highly recommend this home to other families, and will definitely be back ourselves!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The flowers lining the yard to the water were beautiful, smelled delightful and attracted hummingbirds that were fun to see. Every person powered watercraft was available for our use. We enjoyed fishing from the kayaks as well as kayaking over to Lake Michigan. The side porch was a perfect place to sit and read a book with the soothing sound of flowing water. The inside was spotless and had everything you might need. The beds were incredibly comfortable. (I have NEVER said that in a rental review!) It is a great home base for golfing and hiking. Really though you could just spend the week without leaving. It's private, peaceful and a terrific spot to spend some quality family time. If you must work, the wifi is good and strong for that while others are gaming. If you have the opportunity to find an open week, book it. You will not regret it. Thanks, Mike! We hope to be back.

    Access to Lake Michigan and local breweries and distilleries was perfect. Remote yet close enough to bear lake, elberta and frankfurt. Great accessible place for a wheelchair (brought a few ramps and track chair for beach access). Got pontoon for the week so enjoyed the lake but paddled as well. Place was clean and lots of beds for family that stopped in for a few days! Love the kitchen!

    My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lake house. There are many reasons for that and here are a few. The house was well furnished including spices, cooking utensils, bikes, watercraft, a pound of coffee, plastic wrap, all the little things that most houses don't bother to supply. The living space above the garage was perfect for our teenage son. This property was well set up for a larger group with many places to congregate. It had 3 different outdoor areas and 3 indoor areas. The lake wasn't over developed and a kayaking trip to lake Michigan via the inlet is a must. The town of Frankfort was just down the road with it's beautiful beach, restaurants and shopping. Nearby hiking that lead to beautiful and secluded beach. The host was fantastic to work with; he made the checking in and out process so easy; he supplied a lot of information about the region and what it had to offer, which led us to the best cherry pies. I am sure we will return to this property in the future.

    Highly recommended. Location - next to a river and facing Lower Herring Lake very unique. Lots of wildlife viewing, close to multiple awesome hiking trails, quiet and peaceful. House - spotless, high quality comfortable furnishings and appliances, lots of room (we had 6 adults ands and 2 dogs). Ammenities - something for everyone from high quality ping pong during the evenings/rainy times, bikes, kayaks, SUP's, large selection of games/books. Communication with owner great, the whole process was easy. You won't be disappointed

    Property has a very unique features with landscape that includes both a river and a lake with great sunsets and foliage that attracts tons of butterflies and hummingbirds. Property has nice kayaks, canoe, row boat, dock for your pontoon, and a boat launch right next to the house. House and loft over garage are excellent for large groups and finishes are top notch. Host is excellent and on our stay quickly addressed issues from the previous tenant. Great stay and planning on coming back again.

    This home is beautiful. The decor is cute and charming.The kitchen is large and updated. Also has new appliances. The cottage had plenty of room for everyone in including a wheelchair. The views are beautiful. To have a lake and creek next to the cottage was great. There are butterfly bushes that line both sides of the property. The most butterflies I have ever seen. There were plenty of canoes and kayaks. Kayaking a cross the lake to Lake Michigan is a must. Absolutely beautiful. The amenities are too numerous to list. This place has everything you need. We will definitely book this place again. Our host Mike is great and easy to work with. Like I said this place is perfect. We loved it and enjoyed our week. 9-13 to 9-24-22.
