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.

The lake is very quiet, very few boats. The lake is quite shallow near the cottage which was nice for the kids, they both learned to kayak while we were there. Short distances to some great tourist attractions, but once you’re done with people you can retreat to the cottage for peace and quiet. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Jeremy R.

Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view of the lake Great two bedroom cabin. Lots of windows, awesome kitchen and bathroom. for those who cook it would be helpful to have a few more kitchen utensils like a steamer. Otherwise, no complaints. We used the fans a lot and found that you have to be fairly tall to be able to reach the chains to control the fan and the light. Also good idea to bring in the chair cushions from the screened in porch because they get quite wet when it rains. Another suggestion would be a few throw rugs, particularly in the bedroom because the floor gets quite sandy, and it would be nice to have something to get the sand off the feet before getting into bed. Peter was responsive and friendly As was his wife. Would definitely come again. ##### Anya Lynn S.

The mattresses were very squishy. The kitchen was well stocked. There were people outside playing music until 4 a.m. I went out at 3 a.m. to nicely ask them to turn it down and to tell them that it was supposed to be quiet after 10 p.m. So me and my daughter had little sleep. It would have been very peaceful without the couple next door! The lake was lovely to look at….we enjoyed the screened in porch. ##### Tammy J.

We loved the privacy and peace and quiet and the cottage was great. Peter and Bellini took care of us, highly recommend! ##### Brent S.

Family of 5 with three 21 year olds and we had a great time. Everything was new and clean and Peter is a great host. He was constantly working on property making the dock larger and better for watching sunsets. Most of the time we didn’t even know he was there, and when we did see him he made sure we had everything we needed. Beach is small but dock, row boats, kayaks, and shallow swimming spot more than made up for it. Family in other cabin had smaller children and the beach and swim spot was perfect for them too. ##### Christine R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer S.

It’s near everything that makes Northern Michigan magical. The property is clean, beautiful ( it’s on a freaking lake with like no traffic). The hosts supply kayaks, paddle boards, boats…..Because they have several cottages on the lake, my husband and I are planning on a trip with friends and their families. I highly recommend this property. ##### Jennifer S.
