Conveniently located, this hideaway is within walking distance from downtown Benzonia and within an easy drive of Beulah. Making the most of the property's premium location, this vacation rental provides a unique take on an open-concept plan with countless windows, abundant natural light, and custom artwork throughout (stained glass, lighting fixtures, and sinks) all created by the original owner. Snuggle up on the living room's sofa with your favorite blanket and stream a favorite series on the smart TV. There are many board games and cards and gather with the group for an entertaining evening. The full kitchen is equipped with plenty of appliances, counter space, and cabinet storage to help you prepare a delicious meal, and summer visitors will appreciate the private gas grill when they host barbecues with friends. When the sun goes down, gather everyone around the firepit for an evening of toasted S'mores and stargazing. Don't forget to use the free WiFi to post your favorite memories to social media.
All three bedrooms are located upstairs, which is perfect when part of the group wants to keep chatting and sharing a fun time at night and some others would like to go upstairs and hit the hay. The bedrooms share a full bathroom with double vanity and there is a half bathroom downstairs.

Great location, close to Crystal Mountain Ski Resort and a couple great local restaurants
Went there to ski. Large property, easy to find, close to Frankfort and Crystal Mountain. Roadhouse Restaurant across the street from the place is awesome.

The house is so well suited for a family and so very cozy. It is very well kept, and this is our second year there and we were not disappointed. There are tennis and basketball courts, and a park all within walking distance, which is great with kids. The beds were comfortable and the rooms pretty spacious. We definitely would stay again. Very close to Frankfort and extremely close to the Betsie River.

Tick Toc stay
Disappointing. We paid alot of money and were faced with heat as there is no a/c. There are many windows that don’t open so it was like a hot box. In addition, we killed 3 ticks, in the house, over the course of the couple days we stayed. The entire house wasn’t clean. Lots of cob webs and flies. The bathroom sinks don’t drain well. The ambiance needs to be updated for the price you pay. The location was great though.

Short stay for Michigan IM70.3
The house location worked well for us. Very quiet area and some privacy given the property is surrounded by trees. The house seemed to be under some renovation still, but that didn't cause any issues for us. It's not a luxurious house, but it met our needs just fine. The beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of room throughout the house.

Great place
Very cute place and great location. 10 minutes from downtown Frankfort and Lake Michigan. We were renting the house for a wedding and went to at the cherry barn at Nugent apple orchards.
Thank you for letting us enjoy your home.

Great location
We enjoyed exploring the area and the place was perfect for our two daughters and us. It is a bit noise since the floors are all wood and the one room opens to the living room area. Bring eye masks, no blinds or curtains so it is bright really early in the morning this time of year.
Architecturally interesting and fits well in norther Michigan with a classic modern touch.
