About this property

Beautiful Frankfort Michigan Vacation Home

Remodeled 4 bedrooms 2 full baths home. Sleeps 8 to 10 plus room for additional air beds (provided). 2 bedrooms have queen size beds. bedroom 3 has 2 full size. Bedroom 4 (downstairs) has 1 full and 1 twin, great for the kids!!. In addition there is a 4 to 5 person dry sauna, and a washer and dryer in the basement. There is an attached 2 car garage converted to a recreation room with a ping pong table (ping pong not available in the winter months).

Home is walking distance to downtown Frankfort and Lake Michigan. Right across the street is a large park with basketball, tennis courts, and skate park. Ride your bikes right down the driveway to hundreds of miles of walking and bike paths. The grocery store is only two blocks away!!

If you chose to drive the home is only 20 minutes south of Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Going east you are 20 minutes away from Crystal Mountain ski resort or 20 minutes from historic Cherry Bowl drive-in. For a little further drive you are 40 minutes from downtown Traverse City or 45 minutes from the middle of wine country. Finally 25 minutes south is Arcadia Bluffs golf resort (there are 3 other golf courses in varying price ranges within 20 minutes).

If you chose to relax at home we provided a 50inch flat screen with DVD/Blue Ray. There are also plenty of board games and ping pong table (ping pong not available in winter months) in the breakfast nook and attached garage for the family to enjoy. Then cook the burgers on the charcoal grill for a great dinner.

We had a great time at Chris and Pam’s place in Frankfort. Being two blocks from downtown and less than a mile from the pier was a highlight. The place was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was a breeze. As always, we were very sad to leave Frankfort. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great cottage near downtown Frankfort. Walking distance to SO many things. Cottage was clean and had great outdoor living spaces. The house fan kept us cool as well as the ceiling fans. Kitchen is a bit small but we made it work for our large group. Dinners on the porch were perfection!

Great location! Worked well for us. Only issue was with water pressure while using both showers.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Nov 2025
Thank you Joan, Sorry you had an issue with the showers. To future renters unfortunately this can be a problem in Frankfort in some of the older houses. Water pressure can drop a bit so if you run both showers the pressure can drop. This doesn't happen all the time but something to be aware of if you plan on renting. Best Chris and Pam
