Big Platte Lake

Our family has returned to this cottage 3 years now. Big Platte Lake is nice and shallow for the little kids with a small sand area they like to play in. Lots of living space to spread out. Close to lots of places that make the Sleeping Bear Dunes area so wonderful…Lake MI, Glen Arbor, Empire, Frankfort, hiking and biking trails!

Great Property

The house was fabulous! Plenty of space, everything we needed to do some cooking. We used the fire pit a couple times, and enjoyed it very much. We did some fishing and a lot of catching - had a fish fry dinner and froze another 7 bags of filets to bring home. Overall a very relaxing and wonderful week.

Excellent!

We really enjoyed this home for our first extended family vacation. We’ve vacationed on Platte & Crystal for 25+ years, and this is be far our favorite rental. We will be staying here again!

Lovely Platte Lake Home

Plenty of room for four adults with four kids, could have easily accommodated more people. Beautiful lake view with a nice dock. Lots of space for the kids to run around and explore. They liked the waterway near the home and there was both a lot of yard space to play and driveway for scootering. The road between the house and the lake was pretty quiet so we didn’t worry when the kids were crossing on their own. Rooms and beds were nice. Kitchen had everything we needed. It was a great stay we would book this home again.

Fantastic Location!

We and our family friends enjoyed this VRBO sitting right across Lake Platte. The location is fantastic with Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore as well as Traverse City closeby to take day trips. The property was very clean and exactly as in the pictures. We had a small issue with the BBQ grill ignition but it was sorted out quick by the management company. The attic room with the 6-in-1 music player was a superhit! Only little concern we had was the hard water from the tap. It was leaving behind powdery residue on the washed dishes, silverware, glassware etc. and needed little extra work cleaning again. Everything else was lovely. Would definitely be renting again next time we are in the area for a vacation.

The Lighthouse in Beulah

This property was awesome! We loved that the home was large enough to accommodate our extended family with plenty of space to spread out! The kitchen was amazing with every type of kitchen item you could possibly need at your fingertips. Our grandkids loved the sand area near the lake and the lake itself was nice and fairly shallow. There is a road that bisects the property that you need to cross to get to the lake/sand/fire pit area but it was not very busy and the locals who use it drove quite slowly so it was very doable. We will definitely be booking this home again! The location in northern MI and the Sleeping Bear Dunes area can’t be beat!
