Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at this property and would highly recommend it. It was well stocked, clean, and a great location for us to set out on our daily excursions. Having bikes and kayaks on site was big for us because it was less we had to pack. The owners were always super responsive and helpful the entire time we were there.Plenty of good places to eat in the area: we would recommend Lighthouse cafe, Stormcloud Brewing, and The Scoop for ice cream. Perks is good for coffee.40 minutes to sleeping Bear dunes. 60 minutes to Traverse. 20 minutes to Crystal Mountain for alpine slides!It’s a wonderful little lake town with all the charm and amenities you’ll need for a successful escape from your busy life! ![Beach in Frankfort](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf21faeb-cedc-4588-aec7-a02a29eb645a-1753045936308.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Frankfort lighthouse at sunset](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c36152da-3552-44e8-9ba7-1aea0875c7c9-1753045918272.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Alpacas at Stormcloud Brewing](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8fc178fa-dbca-4d8d-bdb8-08914ce686f7-1753045937910.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Betsie Lighthouse](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f2f4898c-f9e5-437c-8058-f93240a38304-1753045928539.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brian S.
