About this property

House located in downtown Frankfort • 5 blocks from Lake Michigan!

Lovely two story historic 130-year-old home located in downtown Frankfort. The lower level has two large bedrooms with queen beds, full bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and a living room with cable TV and a full-sized sleeper sofa. Upstairs is a one bedroom apartment with a queen bed, full bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Close to bike trail, downtown, parks, and the beach. Close enough for the action, yet far enough away to allow for peace and quiet.

No Smoking, No Pets, No Parties, please.

Great location! We loved being able to walk to the restaurants and shops. There was a playground very close by that our kids loved. The front porch was a great place to spend time while at the house. This was the perfect place for our family of four to stay! Highly suggest renting a boat on nearby Crystal Lake for fishing.

Property is amazing! Very cute and comfy, and the host provides some basics that make arriving and settling in easy and less stressful. Very close to downtown shopping and the beaches, literally a block away from shopping and a few from the beach. Highly recommend and will be returning next year and hopefully for many years after.

Excellent location. Very clean and spacious home. Highly recommend. Our grandchildren loved the park and playground nearby. Just a short walk to Frankfort beach which is our favorite beach in the area. Spacious, beautiful beach for swimming, volleyball, making sandcastles. Gorgeous sunsets at beach. Walking distance to many restaurants, ice cream shop, T-shirt shops. Host was a pleasure to work with.

Frankfort getaway

The property was perfect for us. We loved the quaintness of the house. It has an upstairs apartment so traveling with our adult daughter worked great so she had her own space as well. The host was very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her about the area. It is a perfect location for the downtown. We really enjoyed our stay, certainly hope to visit again.

Cozy stay in a great location!

The best part about the house is its proximity to downtown and the beach. The check-in process was smooth and Janet was easy to get in touch with and so friendly. The house is cozy with a lovely porch for spending mornings/evenings on. As the second floor has its own living area, bathroom, and kitchen, it provides privacy from the first floor. Great stay! Highly recommend!!

Great stay!

We really loved Frankfort and this house is all about location! You can walk to a beautiful beach on Lake Michigan and walk right into downtown for restaurants, shops, ice cream, and more. Really great little park for small children steps away. The house was clean and cozy and as described. We wanted to visit the dunes and this got us really close by. Thank you hosts!
