Great house, great location!
The house was exactly as listed. Very clean, great location to the beach as well as a nearby bike path. Tons of hooks and hangars which was helpful. Very comfortable and plenty of room for four of us. Great communication with the property manager. Would definitely recommend!

A little piece of heaven
A beautiful, clean, cozy home with easy, walkable access to Frankfort. We’re already looking to book next year! We were able to sleep comfortably, cook meals, and meander downtown multiple times a day. Parking was easy. And we were thankful for a clean bathroom! Hosts were accessible and even helped us out with some beach necessities.

Great Location
We loved staying at this property and the location to all of the wonderful amenities Frankfort has to offer. Just a short morning walk to the bakery for donuts or down to the boats to fish. We stayed with our three little kids and they especially loved the bunk beds. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect little space
This apartment was perfect for my family of 5. To be completely honest, it was the cleanest rental we have stayed at to date. The design is so well done too. The exuberant amount of hooks was so incredibly smart and worked to hang towels, beach gear, etc. We will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Ideal accommodations
My husband, son and our granddaughter spent two happy days in this property. The owner was very responsive to all questions and communications were exemplary. The carriage house apartment was spotless upon arrival and very well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the space was airy and bright.
And the LOCATION! It was an easy walk to the beach or to the main street for restaurants, a great deli, cute shops and excellent coffee. It is also an easy drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Cherry Republic. It was an ideal stop on our vacation.

Cute Frankfurt Cottage
Clean home located near downtown. 6 blocks from the beach but walkable either through town or on a quiet back street. Property was clean and well kept. Would definitely stay again. Only suggested upgrade would be a king mattress in the master bedroom but overall 5 stars.

The best location!
Nestled into a cute neighborhood just blocks from everything we needed.
Clean, well-appointed and comfy! Everything you need for a long weekend away. We didn’t spend a ton of time indoors here, as outdoor exploration was our objective!
The cute kitchen appeared to be well-stocked. They also have a handful of fun games and books, should you encounter a rainy day.
Nice clean bathroom; I especially appreciated the extra towel availability when traveling with teens who don’t always hang up their towels.
The only negative is that there’s no green space. We definitely didn’t need it, but the listing is accurate when it says outdoor patio. :)
Definitely check out the Crescent bakery and the smoke house while you’re here. And PS…. Scoops has the BEST ice cream. Cherry pie a la mode in a waffle cone will change your life!

Sandy was quick to communicate with me when I had questions. The place is very clean and spacious. We loved being just a few minutes walk to Main Street and Lake Mi. Our only “knock” is that we found the living room furniture a bit uncomfortable, but mostly we were out hiking or biking anyway.

Perfect above garage apartment. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent location and easy walk to town. Would definitely stay here again.
Great location and great hosts! The property is in walking distance of anything in Frankfort. We were unable to find some of the kitchen utensils we were hoping for and the ac/heat was slightly tricky to figure out. One of the units was set to AC and we were trying to get heat on another unit (visited in fall) and we ended up having to look up the error code we were seeing.

Everything about our stay in Frankfort was perfect. Sandy was responsive and answered all our questions before arrival. There is plenty of parking and outdoor/indoor space. The WiFi was strong and that made it easy for us to WFH. The place was extremely clean and we were able to do laundry on our trip, which is always a huge plus. I hope to stay here again someday!
