Great Family Home

Just a few blocks from the beach this home is perfect for a family vacation. The property is spacious with plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy. Hosts were very attentive and answered all our question. The home had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Our second stay

We had another wonderful week at this house located close to the beach and downtown Frankfort. The house is comfortable and well equipped in the kitchen with books and games for kids and adults. The side porch is delightful throughout the day - for morning coffee, lunch and dinner, or just relaxing. Highly recommended.

A most enjoyable stay

A welcoming house within walking distance of Lake Michigan and downtown Frankfort. The house is well appointed with kitchen and laundry supplies. We spent most of the time on the side porch which is lovely. We very strongly recommend it.

Second Stay and Still a Winner!

This was our family’s second time staying at this house, so clearly we are fans! The house is within walking distance to eating, drinking, shopping, ice cream, and there is a nice playground across the street. You can walk to the beach was is about a half mile away, or a 2 minute drive. The house itself is clean, comfortable, and spacious. I highly recommend booking this house!

comfortable and conveniently located

This is a very nice house. The beds are comfortable and it is nicely appointed. There is plenty of room to spread out and a nice big table in the dining area to come together. The location is a nice walk to the beach or the downtown. There is no AC but we were comfortable with fans in mid July.

Fantastic home away from home

My husband and six children vacationed here this week and I have zero complaints and only positive things to say, it was exceptionally clean and put together, the home is stocked with everything you would need plus some, we packed a lot of extra things because many rentals we have stayed at just lack in many things, but not this one, there were toys for our kids, games, books, plenty of cleaning items and things to help keep tidy while you're there, the kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen we've ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a lot of rentals as we vacation yearly. Perfect walking distance to the beach and to downtown Frankfort. They even had balls for the beach and sand toys! So impressed, we would definitely come back!

Issue with stove

My overall rating would have been excellent except there was a problem with the stove. The knobs were not correct/alignment and one burner popped on without lighting. That definitely needs to be fixed. It is dangerous in my opinion.

Everything we needed

We have stayed in vacation rentals in this area for many years and have had a variety of experiences so some of my comments may seem odd but they are based comparisons to other rentals. This is a very nice house in a very nice location. The house itself has 3 bedrooms, a sun porch with a cot, and a cozy front room with a comfy chair and game table so there is room to spread out and read, draw, or play games. The house is nicely furnished and homey with lots of unique local art/ craft decorations. It looks like it has been recently painted and everything was very clean. The king sized bed is very comfortable, the queen is very good, the futon is a high quality one, and the cot is OK for a small person. The linens are nice. Appliances are in working order and the tap water tastes fine to drink. The kitchen has everything we needed, we cooked 4 or 5 meals during our stay. Sound travels easily in the house, and the person sleeping in the down stairs bedroom can hear the kitchen noise. There is no AC; during our stay it was in the 80's and the house was comfortable with running of the ceiling fans and opening the windows. The neighborhood is beautiful, the walk to the beach is very pleasant. The beach is very nice and especially beautiful at sunset. You can walk on the beach a half a mile or so, but if you want to go for a long beach walk, drive to one of the many nearby beaches, like Peterson or Arcadia Dunes. We hardly drove anywhere during the 5 day stay, which was quite relaxing. The TV didn't seem to get local stations or a weather station so be prepared to use your phone, tablet, or computer for news and weather. the WiFi worked fine, though my kids thought it a bit slow; we did have several devices accessing it much of the time. There was lots of movies on Netflix if you are so inclined. There are lots of games and puzzles for evenings and rainy days. The house was easy to get into, with an electronic combination lock on the back door. There was always plenty of parking on the street. Everything went very smoothly during our stay. There was a lot of attention paid to making this a comfortable place to stay, the owners were very nice to work with, and everything we needed was easily found in logical places. I highly recommend this house.

Comfortable house in a wonderful town

The house is comfortable, the porch is to die for, and the new patio was fantastic. This is the second time we’ve rented this property and I can’t say enough nice things about it and the owners! Love Frankfort and all of northern Michigan!

Very clean and comfy

This property is actually much more charming than the photos depict! It’s clean as can be, with lots of comfortable places to relax. The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of pots and pans, and it was nice to have some spices left to use. The kitchen was open to the dining room, which was nice for meal preparation. There were lots of toys for our youngest child, and books for everyone. Our teens loved being within walking distance of everything in town. The window fans kept us comfortable all day and night. We had a wonderful time.

Great House & Location

This house was located within blocks of downtown, and half a mile to the beach. There was also a nice little playground within walking distance. If you wanted to, you could park your car at the house and not use it again until it’s time to leave. The house was clean and spacious, with an awesome porch for sitting and relaxing in the morning or evening. I would definitely recommend this house, and hope to stay here again.

Spacious and perfect location!

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this home which is easily accessible to the beach, shops, restaurants and the marina! We never used our cars. The home offers great space with the three bedrooms for the adults, and books for the kids allowing a large group. The home is clean, and has everything you need to be fully functional for a large group. The porch offers awesome seating and the yard was great for playing outdoor games.

Perfect Get Michigan Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay during our first visit to Frankfort. The house has the most perfect location, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and an easy walk up to the beach for a swim or to watch the sunset. The house was exactly as described and neat as a pin! We met the owners upon arrival and you can tell they take great pride in the property. As others have stated the house is extremely well equipped - in fact the best equipped house we have ever rented - everything you need to cook a meal and loads of books, puzzles, games, extra linens, blankets to make your stay really comfortable. Our two sons enjoyed playing games that were new to them and this allowed us to enjoy welcome family time away from electronics. They even had bikes available for us to use, which saved us $200 per bike/per week in rental fees! The bikes were well maintained and in great condition. We spent most of our time on the porch- eating our meals and playing games. So delightful to be outside and breath in the wonderful crisp air and great Michigan temps we were escaping from humid Ohio. My only constructive criticism comment would be about the beds in the two upstairs bedroom - and please know this comment is highly specific/personal - the mattresses are foam mattresses. I had recently injured my back and they were a little too soft for me, but the rest of the family slept great. Just mentioning in case other potential guests are back pain suffers as well. The first floor bedroom and the porch offered very firm mattresses for those who need them. So really in the end it worked out just fine. I would highly recommend staying at this property and we are likely to return in the future.

Wonderful house with everything you need to feel right at home.

A great property for a quiet beach vacation. The house is well appointed, with a great kitchen. The house has lots of extra supplies. There is plenty of outdoor space for barbeques and games. A short walk to everything the town has to offer. The owners were helpful and quick to respond when we needed assistance. Very likely to return again.

This was our second year staying, and we were able to sleep 3 families with 2 small children each without much trouble. The sitting rooms were used a lot and everything in the kitchen worked well, and we made good use of the large yard as well. Will hope to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Jon and Bill Hautz and Sheryl Robertson

Host profile image
We grew up camping at the beach on Lake Michigan every summer and never lost the thrill of the unsalted waves, the majestic sunsets and the long stretches of the best beach sand. We are landlocked in Ohio now but have hopes to spend more of our time in Michigan in a few years.

Why they chose this property

We happened upon Frankfort while on a bicycle ride around Crystal lake and were immediately taken with its charm and proximity to the Big Lake. Our dream was to own a home in Frankfort and more than 20 years later we were able to make that dream come true. We want to share the charm of Frankfort with families and other adventurers looking for a place to nest for a time.

What makes this property unique

We loved all the separate spaces for tucking away with a game, puzzle or book and huge lot for outdoor fun.
