Bike rentals in Frankfort, 231-399-0329. Point Betsie Lighthouse tours, Frankfort, MI. (231)-352-7644, FISHING Great fishing can be had right off your dock on Upper and Lower Herring Lake. Please catch and release, especially on Lower and Upper Herring Lakes. For fishermen who like to cast near Lake Michigan, both Frankfort and Elberta have fishing piers on Lake Betsie, which is essentially Frankfort Harbor. It is known for salmon, brown trout, steelhead, smallmouth bass, and catfish. On calm days, locals like to fish from the north and south cement breakwater piers that reach way out into Lake Michigan. The Frankfort Tackle Box on Main St has bait, tackle, licenses and great advice. For salmon, lake trout and steelhead charters, I recommend Power Trip or Tiny Bubbles.

Very quiet and relaxing. Bedrooms were small and difficult to navigate (walk around) due to the limited clearances between the beds and walls. But overall worked well for our short stay. ##### Remsen H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krysten H. Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great lakeside cottage Cottage 3 was a great little cottage for our family of 3\. It is renovated very nicely and big picture window looks out to the lake. Kayaks, SUPs, cornhole, the pier, and a fire ring kept us occupied when we weren’t exploring the nearby area. Bedrooms are a little tight but we were only in them to sleep so we didn’t mind at all. Would highly recommend! ##### Krysten H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMC L. Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Was a beautiful place to stay! Worked out well for our weekend trip and definitely appreciated the waterfront view and free kayak use! Super peaceful lake, not too busy or noisy. Close to the cute town of Frankfort. Definitely recommend the restaurants “Birch and Maple” and the Taco place right next door to there as well. The only complaint I had was that because of the shared Wi-Fi among the cabins, on the evening when we planned a movie night, the movie would not play on the smart tv because the Wi-Fi was too much in use (in the other cabins) and we had to wait until the other cabin turned their show off before we could get the movie to play. If I had known beforehand, I would have brought a dvd and player to hook up. But, overall, I would book here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cab7fc38-19f1-42fa-9cc2-a3af9d4230cf-1753044251308.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/705d1f58-61b2-42dd-89ae-1265605dfc72-1753044262333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### AMC L.

Cottage on the lake had all the basics needed, suitable cleanliness for a cottage style accommodation, and beautiful views out the windows. The dock chairs, fire pit, and boat options were well used by our group. Nice location to "break up" the drive coming up north to hit up sleeping bear dunes. Little pricy, but for Memorial Day weekend as a late booking, knowing everything is pricy, I'm not complaining....much better than a hotel room for only a little bit more cash, and gave the "up north" vibe without the work and discomfort of camping. Host was friendly and responsive. Our group was 3 teens and 2 adults, and we didn't feel cramped using the pullout couch, trundle bed, and main bedroom. ##### Elizabeth S.

The cottage was perfect for us, we loved the wonderful dock, the waterfront setting, the lovely mix of privacy and connection with others staying in some of the nearby cottages. The biking was great, it was a wonderful trip for us and we hope to do a repeat again, with a stay with the Turners! Thank you Pete and Bliss, you guys are great hosts!

Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint, quiet cottage Cottage was very clean. It is a small cottage which worked for our family (2 adults, 2 teens) but I probably would have enjoyed a larger space if there had been more people in our group (the cottage will sleep 6). Access to paddleboards, row boats, kayaks. Close to downtown Frankfort (about a 10-minute drive) and Lake Michigan. Definitely recommend for a group looking for a quiet, private get-away. ##### Jillian T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan K. Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice small cottage on beautiful lake The property was clean and comfortable for two people (maybe for parents and very small children). The two bedrooms were small with not much room for luggage or moving around. The VRBO description said the property would sleep six and had a hot tub. As stated above, the property was fine for two adults and would not accommodate six people. There was no hot tub. ##### Dan K. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B.

Location could not be better. Cottage is updated and pictures are accurate. Host was VERY accommodating and great, very fast communication through the whole process. Comfortable beds. Kitchen had all the necessities to make this place your home. 10 stars all the way around. Only wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again if I make it back up to the area.
