Lovely older home in a stellar location. The home is just as described in VRBO…three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a large eat-in kitchen. So nice to have enough seating in living room and kitchen for 6 people. Kitchen was well stocked for meal preparation. We’re grateful that our pets are welcome here. The house is within walking distance of Lake Michigan, downtown dining & shops, and the supermarket. Frankfort is a beautiful town; we’d love to visit again and stay at this house.

House was great, clean, and in a nice location. It definitely is not “lake view” as the listed stated, and the upstairs master bedroom does not have a door, it is an open loft stairway so lacks the privacy of a real bedroom. But the house was in a great spot near all the downtown amenities and shops, it was nice and clean inside which is always the most important thing to me. It was great to have the washer and dryer. We would definitely stay again!

It worked for our stay but was expecting it to be a little nicer. The flooring has trip and height changes that our group slipped down more than once.

Good house in a good location to Frankfort. We were staying for the 2023 Ironman and couldn't have been happier with the location. Short drive to the very nice beach. Would definitely stay there again.

We had one for a few years but the city fire department and house insurance both didn’t like the idea. I agree it’s nice to have though!
