Come visit the pure beauty of one of Northern Michigan's favorite small coastal beach towns- Frankfort. Frankfort is situated on the gorgeous shores of Lake Michigan. This splendid coastal beach town has plenty to offer for your perfect family get away! Frankfort is the gateway to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, Surfing (yes surfing), Charter Fishing, the Bestie Valley Bike Trail, Shopping, numerous eateries, and countless adventures. The pristine dunes, beaches, and spectacular sunsets over the vast open freshwater sea will keep you in awe of what our family calls, Northern Michigan Surf City.
Once you arrive to the cottage, there is rarely a need to drive. Simply grab the towels, chairs, and a cooler. As it’s a mere 5 minute stroll down a treelined Victorian home sidewalk to one of Lake Michigan's most beautiful beaches. Bring your Bikes, Paddle-boards, Kayaks, and beach toys. Or rent surfboards, paddle-boards, or bikes at Coastline Bikes or Crystal Lake Adventure Sports, both downtown.
The cottage is a mere 50 yards away from downtown main street where you will find numerous restaurants, bistros,
breweries, and shopping. Again, all within walking distance.
Sit on the covered front porch and relax with a glass of wine while watching passers-by on our treelined Victorian street that leads right to the water. Or choose to lounge on the back deck and bask in the sun. There is a flagstone fire pit area in the backyard with several Adirondack chairs for your night time enjoyment.
The cottage sits on a corner lot with room for the kids to play. The cottage has wireless internet for connectivity. Please note: by design there is No T.V. This is one of 120 licensed rental properties in Frankfort.
In the lower level walkout there is a Ping Pong table, foos ball table, and video arcade games for those seeking refuge from the sun.
As with most Northern Michigan cottages there isn’t Air Conditioning as the nights are generally cool. However, there are ceiling fans in all 3 rooms, as well as stand up fans placed in the closets for use if need be.
We recently added a Culligan reverse osmosis water system to our kitchen sink so no need to bring or buy all those plastic water bottles.
Over the years this cottage has provided our family and friends with countless wonderful memories. We are certain it will do the same for you and yours.
Sincerely,
The Mackey Family
