Walk to Beach and Downtown! Bayside Cottage is a very comfortable dog-and-family-friendly cottage right in the downtown Frankfort residential area! It is just a short walk to Lake Michigan, Frankfort Beach, Betsie Lake, and downtown Frankfort with its lovely shops and restaurants. Includes super-fast Wi-Fi (up to 1000 Mbps), 4 Roku tv's with live streaming via Hulu, board games, jetted bathtub, washer / dryer, both front and back porches, fenced-in backyard, gas grill, outdoor dining furniture, and a bonfire ring! NEIGHBORHOOD: The property is located in the downtown Frankfort residential area. It is basically a northern Michigan small vacation town environment. It is very safe! The home is in a great location for exploring the northwest corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula! It is conveniently located close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, Betsie Lake, Crystal Lake, and the fun beach towns of Frankfort, Arcadia, Elberta, Beulah, and Empire. The home is also only a 21-minute drive from Crystal Mountain Resort for skiing, snowboarding, and winter sports. Also, if larger-city things are desired such as lots of restaurants, great shopping, and lots of entertainment and nightlife options, the home is only an approx. 1-hour drive from downtown Traverse City, which has a wonderful collection of dining, shopping, and entertainment options! ACCESS: Guests have access to everything on the property except for the following: \* the large boat garage that is on the alley behind the house (There is a separate small garage at the end of the driveway that is available for guests to use.) \* owner storage closet on the second floor that is locked off THE SPACE: The Bayside Cottage is a very comfortable, cozy, bright, and dog-and-family-friendly vacation rental cottage to stay at while enjoying a nice family or group vacation in northern Michigan. The house has been extensively remodeled within the last 10 years. It has a bright, beautiful, and modern design that features a considerable amount of lightly-colored woodwork, a large number of windows that provide exceptional natural lighting and a relaxing, beachy, 'lake-effect' feel to the home, and the home is filled with beautiful original artwork that has been created by the property owner herself. The cottage has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and is approx. 1750 square feet in size. It can sleep up to 12 adults. In terms of bedrooms and bathrooms, one of the 4 bedrooms is located on the first floor. It has a lovely queen-size bed in it and it has its own private bath. A thick curtain in the entryway to the bedroom can be closed for privacy to shut off the bedroom from the rest of the house. There are three bedrooms upstairs, including a kids room that has 2 very cute matching twin beds in it. The other two upstairs bedrooms each have a comfortable queen-size bed in them. (One of these two bedrooms also has a sofa bed in it, so that 4 adults can sleep in the bedroom.) There are 1.5 bathrooms downstairs (each downstairs bathroom has a shower) and a full bathroom upstairs that features a large and relaxing jetted tub. The common downstairs bathroom also includes a washer and dryer in it. The kitchen has been recently updated and includes a new stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. The kitchen also has a gas range (with 4 gas burners and an oven), which works great for cooking delicious meals! The home also has a coffee pot, crockpot cooker, blender, toaster, and a good supply of pots and pans, dishes, silverware, and cutlery. There is also a gas grill in the backyard for grilling and an outdoor dining area in the backyard with outdoor dining furniture. The backyard is also fully fenced-in (which is great for kids and dogs) and there is a fun and family-friendly bonfire ring with Adirondack chairs in the backyard for cooking delicious s'mores at night! The cottage also includes free super high-speed Wi-Fi, with speed up to 1000 Mbps. The home has 4 televisions with a very large 55-inch flatscreen television in the living room and 43-inch flatscreen televisions in 3 out of the 4 bedrooms. All of the televisions have Roku with live-streaming from Hulu (which provides the equivalent of cable television), PureFlix, Netflix, and Disney+. A good collection of board games is also provided at the home (in the living room) for lots of family fun! The house does not have air conditioning, but it does have numerous ceiling fans and pedestal fans. Given these fans, the weather in northern Michigan, and the cottage's proximity to ever-cool Lake Michigan, air conditioning really is generally not needed to keep the cottage cool and comfortable. Central natural gas heating is provided for keeping the house warm and cozy in the winter. Water for the home is provided by Frankfort's public water system and a new water softener is in place to soften Frankfort's fairly hard public water. Sewage is handled by Frankfort public sewage system. In terms of wheelchair-accessibility, the cottage unfortunately is not very wheelchair-accessible and we would not recommend it for individuals in wheelchairs. For individuals in wheelchairs or other special needs, we recommend one of our other cottages in Frankfort, The Leelanau Cottage, which is quite wheelchair-accessible. Parking for up to 3 cars is available in the driveway. There is a small garage at the end of the driveway which is available to guests to use for storage of kayaks, canoes, bicycles, motorcycles, skis, snowboards, snowmobiles, or whatever else will fit in the garage. TRANSIT: It is recommended that guests have their own vehicle for transportation. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) PARKING: There is parking available in the driveway for up to 3 vehicles. There is also parking available behind the house and along the street in front of the house. Overnight parking is not permitted on the street though from November through April to facilitate snow removal from public streets. To avoid issues with the neighbors, we do limit the maximum number of vehicles at the property to 3 vehicles though. We also ask that guests do not park on the street in front of neighboring properties. 2) PET POLICY: Up to 3 dogs are permitted at the property. If bringing 1 to 3 dogs, please make certain that they are included on the reservation and that the pet fee is appropriately paid. More than 3 dogs is strictly prohibited and any pets other than dogs are also strictly prohibited. 3) AIR CONDITIONING: Please note that the property does NOT have air conditioning. As such, it may get warm in the house during the summer if it is warm outside. 4) NUMBER OF GUESTS: Please note that our pricing is based upon the number of guests, with pricing being higher with each additional guest that is included on the reservation. Please make certain that the correct number of guests is specified on the reservation so that the pricing is correct. 5) EARLY CHECK-IN: Our policy is to allow early check-in on the day of arrival if the property is available for check-in. We will not know until the day before arrival whether or not the property will be available for early check-in or not. You can check with our local property manager the day before arrival or on your arrival day to see if the property will be available for early check-in or not. 6) LATE CHECK-OUT: We maintain a very strict and structured cleaning schedule. As such, late check-outs are strictly prohibited. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,750 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111670000/111663600/111663573/e1c5ed2b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great Lakes Getaway - incredible Lakefront Location!

Everyone had their own bathroom. Modern kitchen well outfitted. Desiree was an extremely responsive manager and got our questions answered instantaneously. Quibbles: deck could have been swept off. A bit more silverware and a couple more saucepans. We enjoyed every inch using the deck for a lovely evening and afternoon meal and the front porch for evening hanging out.

I found out the morning we were to leave for Frankfort. Unfortunately, the property I booked wasn't available. The owners worked to find me a similar property which was perfect for our needs! ##### Eric T. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie K. Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place The house was great. Large home with 4 bedrooms. We had two dogs who enjoyed the space and fenced in back yard. Very clean. Only thing we couldn’t get the jacuzzi tub to work called and was explained how to work but it still didn’t. Did text to let know still not working I did look forward to but other then that over all great place to stay. Walking distance to town and water. We would definitely stay again ##### Debbie K.

Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious Home - Great Location The house was comfortable and spacious for our group of six. It was not as clean as I would’ve expected for the price. There were cobwebs and the floors left our feet dirty. (Pretty common for a beach house) The landscape and the backyard could have been spruced up. However, it was nice to have seating provided for outdoor enjoyment in the front and back. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were new. The beds were oh so comfortable. The main floor master gets road noise but a fan covers it up nicely. ##### Susie W.

Feb 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friends annual gathering Basic older house with simple functional furniture. Downstairs bathroom (only shower) is accessed through the master bedroom. No street parking at night (in the winter ???) parking behind the garage which was not cleared after the last snowfall. This resulted in two $ 20 parking tickets for us. Property manager was responsive and resolved minor issues promptly. ##### John T. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### will r.

The house was clean and very comfortable. 🤗I had everything I needed for a week of work and R&R. The internet was fast and reliable for conferencing. I particularly enjoyed the lovely, quiet neighborhood and felt safe staying alone. Lots of blocks to walk! My pup enjoyed the fenced back yard and “playing” with the local bunnies. I hope to return to Frankfort in the warmer weather. Thank you for sharing your home! ##### Ruthann W.
