Cabin vogel

Overall, I was disappointed with our rental. The pictures on the internet are not accurate. When I entered the cabin , I immediately smelled the mold… very musky smell. It was dark inside and with lots of cobwebs in the windows. The area was close to activity but cabin needs a redo and good cleaning. I would not return to this property

Don’t stay here

The smell of musty is overwhelming. Mice poop in the cupboards and cobwebs throughout. Fan running when we arrived as well as charcoal bags throughout rental to try and hide smell. Would not stay there for half the price! Vacasa refunded the cleaning fee, but we did not allow them back in to clean as it would have taken hours and the musty smell would still be there. We asked to be relocated and no response on that request. They eventually refunded 10% of our fee as well as our cleaning fee. Their own policy states that if a customer wants to be moved to another rental and has a legitimate reason, they will move the customer. I asked as soon as we checked in and it was never acted on. Do not stay here, I have pictures that clearly show it theirs were photoshopped. Vacasa pulls you along by telling you they are working on resolving the issue, but management does not respond.

Perfect Location

If you're looking for a small cozy cabin, you found it. Very well decorated inside with many nautical trinkets. Love the Huron Light-Ship. We stayed here, while competing in a sailing regatta at the Crystal Lake Yacht Club. Proximity was perfect, from distance to Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, and downtown Frankfurt. Everything was within a few minutes of driving. We took day trips up to Glen Arbor, Fishtown, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We also went tubing on the Platte River. Our family enjoyed the open ceiling of the cottage, and the ability to casually talk over the walls while laying in bed at night. I'd strongly suggest this place!

Great centralized Michigan getaway

Flawless check-in!! If help was needed, it was a phonecall away! We booked this cabin almost a year in advance. We loved the secluded, in the woods, hunter/ fishing cabin vibe! Was well stocked with what we needed. No fish cleaning facilities at the cabin but one is located 3 miles away in Frankfort. Close to Crystal lake, Lake Michigan, Big Platte lake, and Betsie River. All around, a great place to stay! We hope to stay at this cabin again.

Quaint Home

We pulled up and we're greeted by a cute green home. Inside is very cottage-esque. We enjoyed staying in the home and having a place to rest during a family wedding. We didn't get to spend much time at the beaches but they looked like a fun place to visit.

Quaint Rustic Cottage

This quaint rustic cottage was perfect for our small family. It had all the amenities you needed and was very cozy. This is definitely a typical old style fisherman‘s cottage. We loved all the character. It’s conveniently located in between Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. We spent most of our days looking for rocks on Lake Michigan. Frankfort is just a short drive away where we enjoyed the beach, good restaurants and shopping. There is 75 feet of the lake front property across M-22 on Crystal Lake but has not been maintained. We rented a fishing boat and went fishing and the surrounding lakes, golfed, and drove up and M-22 and visited Fishtown. This area is beautiful. We never had any problems finding something to do. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Old Fisherman Cabin

We had a nice stay in Frankfort MI. The Cabin was cozy and very small. It was not very ideal for young children. There were exposed outlets and steep steps up to the house. It is also very close to a busy road so we did not want our kids to be outside without supervision. It would be a nice get away for a couple or even a family with older kids. There is a nice back yard and it is very close to a number of gorgeous beaches.
