Echo's Cove- Downtown Cottage- 1 Mile from Lake Michigan

We are falling in love with this little lake town, Frankfort, and we hope you do too! Cottage is 1 mile from Lake Michigan, 1/4 mile to the Betsie Lake boat launch, and 1/2 mile from downtown. You can walk to its amazing restaurants & bars, including Stormcloud Brewing, cute coffee shops, and 4 of the best ice cream stops! Short drives to Crystal Lake, Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City.

The Space
Our cottage is new to us in 2022. It was built before the 1900s. We have fully renovated the bathroom, bedrooms, living room, and partial kitchen remodel. We had fun designing the bathroom. We hope you enjoy the skylight, stained glass window, and “shower” fridge. Fill it with adult beverages, pop, or any drink of your choice. Just in case you need to quench your thirst when showering ; ] Kitchen includes stove, fridge, microwave, and cookware necessities. No dishwasher. There is a clothes washer and dryer for you to use. We have 3 bedrooms, small in size, but they work just fine. They hold a Queen, Full, and Twin Bunk bed. There is a 65 inch Smart TV for you to log in to any of your streaming services. High Speed Wifi available. We have air conditioning and there are 3 fans if you need them. We have 6 beach towels to use and provide essential toiletries and linens. The previous owner was quite the U of M fan. You will spot some memorabilia inside and out. We also inherited quite a collection of tea sets. Please treat them gently if you decide to use them. We are growing fond of them. There is a fire pit, small charcoal grill and 2 picnic tables in the backyard to enjoy too! (Please bring your own charcoal.) We have enough room to park 2 boats on site.

Guest Access
You have full access to the property. Feel free to park in the driveway. We will provide the code for the front door close to your arrival.

To Note
The cottage is walking distance from everything the town has to offer. The restaurants are amazing with a variety of foods- fancy at Birch & Maple, multiple coffee shops like Crescent Bakery, small town bars, and its very own Stormcloud Brewing. There are lots of little shops to explore on the main road downtown and four cute ice cream shops. Nice clean beach with great public bathrooms, right on Lake Michigan 1 mile away. We try and watch the sunset on Lake Michigan every night. The cottage is on the same road as the boat launch if you are a fisherman. Get ready for salmon season all summer long! Great area for biking. Try the Betsie River Valley 24 mile bike trail or just cruise around the adorable houses in town. Bike rentals are available at Coastline Cycles.
