Full kitchen, dining room, living room, 1 bathroom. Very flexible ... works great for a couple or a small family! Equipped with Refrigerator, electric stove, Microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, cable TV & wireless internet, TV/DVD/CD player, Board games and cards. Small private porch with 2 chairs/table. Shared use of a large entertainment patio, and gas grill. "The Birdhouse" is unlike any other vacation rental you will find. It is artsy, charming, fun and frivolous. Kids love it – who wouldn’t love a spiral staircase, a sleeping loft, original art pieces, a cookie jar & lunchbox collection, resident mermaid, and magnetic letters on a vintage refrigerator door hung on the wall? Parents will love their private bedroom to relax in, a tidy kitchen to cook breakfast in, and the outdoor grill for dogs and burgers. Best of all, the beach is steps away, and downtown Frankfort is just a short stroll. Older kids can “run free” exploring the downtown, while young ones head to the beach with Mom and Dad. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach, to enjoy the water, sand & sunsets, or to downtown Frankfort for the movie theater, ice cream parlors, upscale restaurants, and shopping. Take a 15 minute drive to the "Cherry Bowl" drive-in theater with the kids and don't forget to stop at the "Cherry Hut" restaurant for their delicious cherry pie! The day is complete when you’ve returned to the beach for the sunset, or possibly even later to gaze at the Milky Way or watch for shooting stars. But the best part of all ... memories that will last a lifetime! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a hospital - Near the bay - On a lake ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach/ocean view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34080000/34075300/34075223/9f91def6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps To The Beach & 2 Blocks To Downtown Frankfort - Sleeps 10-11 Frankfort - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 84 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=34075223&PinnedHotelID=34075223&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83370000/83366800/83366738/b914b294.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Brand new 2 bedroom carriage house with patio in the heart of Frankfort!
