Perfect Weekend Stay

Stayed at the lake house for two nights while attending an event at nearby Frankfort. The house was perfect for our needs with 5 adults and two kids splitting 4 bedrooms. A nice sandy beach with a shallow lakefront was enormous fun for the kids and the back porch was great for the adults to relax and observe. No issues being comfortable in mid September with temps in the 80s. Homeowners were fantastically responsive by text for minor logistics questions. Highly recommend for a quiet house by the lake.

Beautiful Cottage

This house did not disappoint. The view of the lake is perfect for both your morning cup of coffee, as well as your evening glass of wine. We rented the pantoon boat, and were able to tour the lake on it, as well as the kid kayaks, the adult kayaks, and the SUPs! They had ball and toys in the garage that kept our kids busy. Note that there is no washing machine or beach towels on site, but as long as you come prepared, this is not an issue. The beds were comfortable, and this was a great place to spend time with grandparents and kids for the week we stayed.

Amazing location for a summer stay, feet from a sandy beach on a beautiful lake. Great location with nearby activities and attractions. All the yard games and water toys you could want. Super easy check in and hosts were always reachable if needed. Would definitely return!

July at Platte Lake

This lovely cottage is even better than its pictures. Plenty of space to hang out inside with rainy day entertainment options. The outdoor space is perfect for coffee on the deck in the morning and dinners in the evening. There's enough room for yard games and for little ones running and chasing. Great beach, great swimming area. We'll be coming back next year!

Perfectly Charming

Such a wonderful property!!! The home is comfortable and has even we needed for our long weekend. The location is convenient for day trips to other cities/attractions. But the backyard was the high point of our trip. The view, fire pit, beach, dock, lake access… I would definitely recommend!!!

We had a great time

We had never been to Michigan before and we had a great time. The house/cottage is right on the lake. It was nice when we walked in, the main floor is cute. The upstairs had an air conditioner that was vented out the window so the window was not perfectly sealed which caused bugs to come in. This was right where the heads to the beds were. My kids would not sleep in there. I really liked the decor. The toys for the water was very nice and we all enjoyed. The grill needs updated. Needs outdoor garage lights , many not working or bulbs not in. We did have a good time. All negative things can be easily fixed. Thanks

A bit pricey for the accommodations but good stay

Communication was excellent. We had rented the boat but there was a gas leak so we couldn't take it out. They were super quick to get back to us and give us a refund and we appreciated that. The lake toys were great, even little kayaks for the small children. Quiet, peaceful lake. Nice quiet street and good location tucked between Frankfort and Glen Arbor. We all felt like cottage could have been a little cleaner...not terrible, but needs a little refresh.When we got there, there was sand all over the back deck and gnats stuck to picnic table ...we found a broom and swept off the deck (wished we had a power washer for the table). Also, I know that duck/geese are part of inland lake life but there's no deterrent (that I could see to keep them away, so way too much poop to try to get around- and one our group got swimmers itch) I noticed the neighbors had some sort of mirror-type thing near their beach and they didn't seem to have nearly as many "visitors" as we did. It definitely felt like bare minimum in comparison to other places we've stayed. Overall, our family enjoyed ourselves but just think the price (even being on a lake) was steep for the set-up here.

Absolutely Perfect

From beginning to end, everything about this stay was perfect. Communication from the owners was great. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this home. We stayed here for the Ironman 70.3 in Frankfort. It was the perfect distance so that we weren’t caught up in the crowds Friday and Saturday night, but close enough that we could get to and from the village quickly. The lake outside the back door is beautiful and the garage is full of everything you need to enjoy the water. Beds are incredibly comfortable and whole house was clean and in good repair. If you can’t relax here, you don’t know how to do it. We will be back!!

Pure Michigan

Perfect lake house to capture all the essence of what you are looking for in Michigan. An assortment of kayaks, paddle boards , etc for the entire family to enjoy. The yard dice was actually a big hit! The deck and back yard area is a perfect setup. Plenty of space to hang and easy to keep an eye of the kiddos. Owners are easy to contact and the place was super clean. A washing machine would have been great, but wouldn’t keep us from staying here again.

Perfect family getaway!

We had the best week staying here! The kids played on the beach and we used the paddle boards and water toys. There’s plenty of things to do locally if we wanted to do an afternoon excursion, but we spent many days just relaxing at the house. We highly recommend this rental!

Our family of 5 is from Grand Rapids, MI. We both grew up in northern Michigan and wanted our children to be able to experience the same. We spent our fall and winter of 2016 renovating this charming cottage ourselves. We had so much fun and made great family memories along the way. It was a year they will never forget!
