Great experience. House was very clean, very nicely decorated, and felt very secluded even though it was close to many amenities. Plenty of beds and space for the family. Good proximity to Beulah, Frankfort, and empire. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice stay in a rustic cabin with almost complete privacy, yet minutes from shopping and the lake. Good base for exploring NW Michigan.

The property was cozy and comfortable. The only draw back was all the scents in the house, as I am allergic to them I suffered red watery eyes and running nose.

I’m so glad you found the house cozy and comfortable! I’m sorry the fresh, natural scents didn’t agree with you — I appreciate you sharing that so I can be mindful for future guests. I do wish your allergy hadn’t impacted your overall experience, but I’m glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise!

We are very glad to have found this cabin so close to town and the beach! We were traveling as a family (2 young children) and our dog so we needed a place conveniently located but also private. The cabin has plenty of room and all the necessary accommodations, with a large private yard. We spent most of our time at Frankfort beach and enjoyed wonderful weather. The cabin was a welcome retreat at the end of a long day in the sun. We utilized the grill and the outdoor patio, and were grateful for comfortable sleeping spaces. Check-in and check-out was easy and the owner was very responsive when needed.
