About this property

Wonderful family home surrounded by woods

Our secluded family home sits on a hill at the end of a dead end road above the small downtown of Frankfort, Michigan. The house is surrounded by trees which provide a feeling of privacy and yet is only a 15 minute walk to downtown and Lake Michigan. It’s a great central location for accessing activities in the area and also a wonderful place to sit back and relax on the deck with friends and family. Frankfort, Benzie County and Northwest Michigan offer a variety of activities- hiking, biking, golf, fishing, kayaking, surfing, farmers' markets, wine tours, restaurants, music, art, film, festivals, shopping, water/snow skiing, M22 scenic drives and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The main floor has two bedrooms (1 master bedroom ensuite with king bed and 1 bedroom with a set of bunk beds and a queen bed), 1 full bath, an open kitchen/dining area, and an open living room with a wood burning stove. Large windows provide a lot of natural light. There is also a spacious deck with bench seating, a large table and chairs, hot tub, and a gas grill. The finished basement has 1 bedroom ensuite (1 queen bed), open rec/tv area with a fold-out couch and laundry area. The basement opens up to a lower brick patio area and has access to the garage. The driveway provides plenty of parking for cars/boats.

Absolutely amazing
We booked this home for our parents and it was beyond expectations. From the size of the home, the ameneties, the well stocked kitchen and views, you could not go wrong. One great surprise were the deer wandering around with two fawns. Cate and Joe are highly responsive and a joy to rent from. 5 stars all the way

Frankfort Fun!
This was a beautiful getaway. So close to downtown Frankfort. We took some day trips to the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Crystal Mountain, and Platte River. The house was exactly as advertised. It was clean, well kept, plenty of clean towels--even towels for the hot tub. The fire pit was great for our group. The homeowners were easy to reach for any questions we had. They were quick to respond and super helpful! Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

Perfect balance, secluded setting and close to town!
So many good things to say about this house. It is in a secluded setting yet close to town and other activities. The layout accommodated our group of six and one infant comfortably. The house was very clean, furniture in good shape, beds were comfortable, linens and towels fresh. Good selection of pots, pans, dishes with available pantry space for our items. Plenty of room for multiple cooks in the kitchen. Soaps, paper products and basic spices are thoughtfully provided. We enjoyed the spacious deck all day long and the lower-level patio was a bonus. The hot tub and fire pit were enjoyable on cool nights. Cate and Joe were very responsive to questions and requests. We felt very comfortable and welcome. So happy to find a property that checks so many boxes - looking forward to a return visit next year!

Beautiful, spacious family home. The deck was lovely and perfect for eating meals and playing games. Hot tub was a great perk. Kitchen has everything you need and bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious. Overall, this was perfect for our family vacation. Very quick drive to the Main Street and the beach too.

About the host

Hosted by Cate and Joe Hollenbeck

Host profile image
Our parents/in-laws built our home in the 70s and we bought it from them in 1998. Since then we have lived in our home off and on and have returned to it every summer as we've lived and worked overseas. We have rented homes all over the world and appreciate when we stay in places that are well supplied and provide the extra touches of comfort and convenience. We hope that will be your experience as well when you stay in our home.

Why they chose this property

This is a wonderful place to have privacy yet still be close to town and the surrounding area. The house has many amenities that you might look for in renting a home instead of staying in a hotel. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are many books, games, and toys available for people of all ages. We're happy to help make your stay as pleasant as possible.
