Great mini working vacay
This is my 2nd time renting this house in 3 months because it is perfect to work from and explore the area afterwards. My hubby joined me on Friday. It was only 10 miles to Arcadia! House is well appointed and very user friendly. I'll rent again.

We had a lovely stay at this adorable and affordable spot. We had challenges with an extreme amount of pet hair when we arrived, but our local contact was very responsive in taking care of the issue.

A great place to stay
The location was quiet, easy to find and centrally located. Perfect for exploring the area and putting on a training class at a local business. Beds were comfortable and all the amenities were appreciated. I have to teach another class in the spring and I am hoping to stay again at this location.

Perfect Frankfort Stay
Loved the house and the area of town. The area is quieter than closer to the beach and great for walking and dog walking. It is still close enough to walk downtown, to the post office and grocery. The house was very comfortable and has everything I needed.

Great Place to Stay
This place is charming. It's nicely decorated and very clean. And, it is close to downtown Frankfort, the Point Betsie lighthouse, and a grocery store. I appreciated that it is dog friendly and that there seemed to be no evidence that my dog could detect that other dogs had been in the house.

Nice place to stay to visit Frankfort. Far enough away from downtown to be quiet. But, still close enough to walk or a very short drive.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful quiet and clean home!
My wife and I had a great time in this beautiful home with our old dog. Everything was perfect. Close to downtown and the beach, we had everything we were looking for plus more! The house was incredibly clean and the yard perfectly kept (and large). We had deer walk through in the evening and morning while we sat on the back porch. We will certainly be considering this place again next time we are looking for a trip in the Frankfort area!! Thank you!!

The check in process was extremely easy and our host manager, Hannah, was quick to respond. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood and is close to the grocery store. The inside was very inviting! It was clean, had all the amenities necessary and was just perfect for the two of us!

Great little house!
This is a sweet little house. It’s been nicely renovated and there was everything you could need. I needed it for only two nights for a last minute visit to see family and it was really nice to have house instead of going to a hotel. It’s great for 2 adults. I stayed here with my daughter and we loved it.

Never heard of this town. But the town is adorable. The rental was perfect. 3minutes from main part of town. Loved the set-up of the bedrooms upstairs. The whole town had Hocus Pocus vibes which were perfect for the fall season.

The neighborhood is super quiet and felt very safe. It’s close to the beach and town. The cottage has everything we needed. We only used the downstairs but the upstairs was super nice too. Just be aware that the steps are super steep. We would love to stay again. Thanks.
