All 3 bedrooms and both full bathrooms are located on the main floor! In the partially-finished basement, there is a entertainment / game / kids room as well as a washer and dryer that is available for guests to use.
Outside, the house has a nice large deck with a new gas grill and nice new bonfire ring for great family bonfires with s'mores!

This was one of the best places we have ever rented, and the 4 of us have done this for 30 years. Very clean, fully stocked, comfortable beds and walking distance to everything local. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stay! Nice clean house. Close to town. Lots of parking available. Enjoyed the fire pit in backyard. Would stay again!
PERFECT location. In walking distance of the beach, cute town, and every magic moment that NW Michigan has to offer. Cute little fire pit out back to gather and enjoy family time. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Perfect for two generation getaway. Split floor plan allows you to have your own private space. Only negative is traffic noise. Located on main thoroughfare into town
This house is clean and comfortable. Location is in a great spot, close to the main drag in Frankfort. Would definitely chose to stay here again.

Beach vacation in Michigan!
Loved the house and the remodeling is beautiful. We appreciated the proximity to the downtown area and the beach. Having beach towels available was very nice! Only improvement would be having toiletries like shampoo available. We also noticed a lot of ants on the floor everywhere but especially the living room, and weren’t able to lock the back door.
The property was great for our family vacation. The location was within walking distance to downtown shopping, the beach, and the grocery store. Our teens appreciated the rec room in the basement. The property was very clean.

The communication process was good from the beginning. Everything was prepared for us on arrival. The check-in process was smooth as well. The house is well equipped for a long- or short-term stay. Grill and a fire pit are a good way to relax in the evening. Recommended!

Thanks, Lance! We have now repaired the kitchen faucet based upon your feedback. We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again! Best wishes and God bless! :-)
We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Gwen’s place in August. The home was clean and comfortable, had plenty of space, the yard was great and we enjoyed the fire pit many days and evenings. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance to many downtown shops and restaurants. A bit longer of a walk led to the beach. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, and there was enough space for all 6 of us to sit together for a meal. We will definitely consider staying again when in the area!
