Another great Frankfort stay

This house is perfectly located in the heart of Frankfort and so close to Main st so you can walk everywhere. It’s spacious and so much bigger than it looks in the photos which is amazing! The front porch was our favorite place to relax.

Quaint Town, Great Location, Perfect Beach Vacation

Our family has stayed all up and down the Lake MI coast and we loved Frankfort! Everything about our trip exceeded expectations! The house is in a great location - we biked to the beach every day & walked to shops & restaurants (and ice cream!) every evening. A couple 1/2 day trips to Glen Arbor / Sleeping Bear, and the alpine slide at Crystal Mountain. The house is as described and Madeline was great on communication. Highly recommend!

Great place in Frankfort

This place has everything needed for family with kids: toys, books, very well equipped kitchen. Location is very convenient, 5 min walk to beach and one block away from all the activities. Madeline is very responsive, trying to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Great Location

Everything within walking distance! House is very cute, but beds are very uncomfortable and one seems very unstable so suggest bringing along some extra bedding if you have room. Overall we had a great stay.

Frankfort stay

This home was perfect for our family of 5. Located downtown, everything was within walking distance. The laundry room is brand new and huge. We so appreciated that because we had stayed somewhere else prior and had to do 2 loads right away. There is no yard for kids to play in, but we did so much hiking and other activities that it was not an issue. Nice quiet neighborhood too.

About the host

Hosted by Madeline Witt

Host profile image
I am a Northern Michigan native and have spent the past 12 summers in Frankfort -- it's my husband's and my favorite place! We have two dogs at home and are expecting our first baby boy this June. We have hand-picked every item in the cottage and are so excited to share our home with you!

Why they chose this property

Frankfort will forever have a special place in our hearts -- it's where my family of 7 grew up, siblings and friends bonded without phones or TVs, where we experienced so many "firsts" and "lasts". Frankfort is where we learned to surf, paddleboard, and longboard. It's where we ended each night smelling like wine, beer, and a bonfire, with sand in between our toes. It's where we wake up late, sip coffee slow on the porch, and find beauty in all of the quiet moments of life.
This city holds my family's fondest memories, and we hope it'll do the same for you and yours as well.

What makes this property unique

The Frankfort Beach Cottage is literal steps away from downtown Frankfort. It is the perfect location! You can walk to all things downtown, or beach. If you have a bike, it's just a few blocks to the grocery store as well. No need to worry about hopping in your car and scheduling a day out -- simply put on your shoes, and walk to wherever your heart desires!
