Stayed for 5 nights while working remotely. Brought my boat up and fished in the evenings. The house was perfect for what I needed. There was fast Internet for my work, place to park my boat, and it's located only a few blocks from the main road in town. The house was clean, it had good air conditioning (outdoors was hot and humid). Would stay again!

Excellent stay for our family of 5! We enjoyed how it was close to Sleeping Bear Dunes for National Park adventures. We also loved how quaint the town of Frankfort was. We loved the house and all its special touches.

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay and all of the thoughtful touches. The house is well-stocked, very comfortable and had everything we needed. The bikes were a great perk and we enjoyed riding them around town and to the beach. We loved the area and would definitely come back and stay again.

Family Beach Vacation

The Elm Cottage was a great little house for our family of three. It's a very convenient location and walkable to town. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-appointed, and the living space was comfortable. The patio and outdoor shower are great touches. We would stay here again!
