Restoration - Romantic Getaway with Hot Tub, Deck, Fully Fenced-In Backyard, Bonfire Ring, Grill, A/C, and Great Location! Also dog-friendly!

Frankfort, Michigan, United States

Restoration is a cute little dog-friendly cottage near downtown Frankfort that is just 7 blocks from Lake Michigan and Frankfort Beach. It features a newly expanded outdoor deck with YEAR-ROUND PRIVATE HOT TUB, outdoor gas grill, outdoor dining, bonfire ring, and fully-fenced in backyard. Also features new furnace and new central air! The location and layout makes for a great romantic getaway destination for couples or a cozy home away from home for individuals or small families.brbrbrINTERACTION:brbrOur local property manager lives nearby and is available to address any questions, concerns, or issues that may occur.brbrbrNEIGHBORHOOD:brbrThe cottage is located in the downtown residential portion of Frankfort. It is basically right in the heart of town! It's just one block from Main Street and downtown Frankfort, which has a vibrant and growing array of restaurants, cafes, shops, banks, a couple gas stations, a post office, a grocery store, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a historic theater (the Garden Theater). It is also just 7 blocks (about 0.6 miles) from Lake Michigan, beautiful Frankfort Beach, and Frankfort's famous historic pier and lighthouse.brbrThe cottage is also only about a 15-minute drive from the start of the incredible Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! It's also just a 22-minute drive from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. Downtown Traverse City is also only just over a 1-hour drive from the cottage.brbrbrACCESS:brbrThe second floor is locked off for further renovation work and is not included with the rental. Similarly, there is a 4-season breakfast room / sunroom off the kitchen that has not been renovated and is currently just used as storage space. The basement is locked off and is not for use by guests.brbrbrTHE SPACE:brbrThe home has been party renovated since we purchased it in November, 2013. Inside, the kitchen and bathroom been recently updated, the hardwood floors have been refinished throughout, and the interior has been recently painted. The interior has a fun, colorful, and beachy theme throughout the house. The home features a lot of artwork that was painted by the owner of the property.brbrOutside, the deck has been expanded and painted, a new hot tub / spa was added, the entire backyard was landscaped and fully fenced-in, and the outdoor bonfire ring was added. New windows, doors, and siding were also installed in 2025. Note that all of the outdoor amenities (including the hot tub) are available for use all year-round!brbrbrTRANSIT:brbrPublic transportation is available via The Benzie Bus, but it is suggested that guests have their own means of transportation.brbrbrPLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:brbr1) PROXIMITY TO ROAD: The property is quite close to the road (7th Street, which is part of M22 as it goes through Frankfort). There is a fair amount of traffic and road noise, particularly due to fairly high traffic in the summer and snowplows in the winter. If you are sensitive to road noise, this might not be a good fit.brbr2) ABANDONED HOME NEARBY: There is an abandoned home to the west of the property. There are no safety concerns associated with this, but it does look quite ugly. This shouldn't be a big issue, but we do want to have people aware of this.brbr3) HOT TUB: The hot tub is available for use year-round and is great in the winter!brbr4) NEW CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING: In October, 2025 a new furnace and new central air conditioning were both installed at the property.brbr5) PET POLICY: Up to 3 dogs are permitted at the property. If bringing 1 to 3 dogs, please make certain that they are included on the reservation and that the pet fee is appropriately paid. More than 3 dogs is strictly prohibited and any pets other than dogs are also strictly prohibited.brbr6) NUMBER OF GUESTS: Please note that our pricing is based upon the number of guests, with pricing being higher with each additional guest that is included on the reservation. Please make certain that the correct number of guests is specified on the reservation so that the pricing is correct.brbr7) EARLY CHECK-IN: Our policy is to allow early check-in on the day of arrival if the property is available for check-in.

The name Restoration Cottage not only refers to the physical restoration of the property that we have pursued, but it also refers to the restoration of our family that took place when we came back together as a family of four in October, 2017, after having been separated for 4 years and 8 months. It was a great healing environment for our family! We then moved to a larger home in August, 2019, but this home will always have great memories for us and we hope and pray that it helps to bless and restore other relationships as well! :-)

Riverfront cabin on the Betsie with private dock, kayaks & bikes - 2 dogs OK

Frankfort, Michigan, United States

Hidden River CabinbrbrOur calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'brbrGet away from it all at Hidden River Cabin, a family retreat tucked away on 2.5 acres of quiet forest along the banks of the Betsie River. Here at the end of a private road and surrounded by the Betsie River State Game Refuge, you'll have 330 feet of natural river frontage and a private dock all to yourself. brbrThe Betsie is a protected Natural River, which limits development and preserves natural beauty. It's shallow (averaging 2-4 feet deep) and gentle with a sandy bottom, making it great for big kids to play in and deep enough for leisurely trips in the provided tandem and single kayaks (two of each). The river will take you to the east end of Betsie Bay, Frankfort, and Elberta (roughly a two-hour float or a one-hour paddle), or all the way to Lake Michigan for the more ambitious paddlers.brbrFor anglers, fall heralds the arrival of the king salmon run (starting as early as mid-August) with winter and spring bringing the steelhead trout. Use the portable fish-cleaning table and the grill/smoker to cook your catch for dinner, or take them to the Port City Smokehouse for the best smoked fish or pate you've ever had.brbrThis home was seemingly designed for those who love to be outdoors. Enjoy a volleyball and badminton set, a bocce set, stomp rockets, and an outdoor firepit where you can roast s'mores nightly. Explore the forest, play in the river, or just curl up with a good book!brbrHidden River Cabin is about five miles from the pristine beaches at Frankfort and Crystal Lake, and just 26 miles from Sleeping Bear Dunes. There's a family-size folding shade tent, lots of sand toys, and plenty of folding chairs that you can take along on your beach outings. Or, take out the provided bikes to explore the adjacent 22-mile Betsie Valley Trail, which connects Frankfort, Beulah, and Thompsonville, passing by some of the most beautiful scenery in the area.brbrThings to knowbrTwo dogs are welcome for a nightly feebrTwo single kayaks and two tandem kayaks provided (each tandem kayak seats two adults and one child); life vests are available for toddlers through adultsbrInflatable stand-up paddleboard providedbrA variety of adult- and kid-size bikes are provided (five adult, one teen, two child); please bring your own helmets.brPlease note that this property does not have A/C. brbrThis property is managed by Vacasa Michigan LLC.brbrIf you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets.
