Our family had a great vacation visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes area with our 2 dogs. The yard gave us space. The house stayed cool and comfortable in the summer heat. We loved the front porch, too. The wifi was reliable. This location is conveniently located near grocery store as well as dining choices nearby. There were plenty of dishes and towels. We were able to cook on the grill. We loved our kayak trip. The owner gave us lots of helpful advice on activities.

We stayed here for a family vacation with 3 teens. The location was perfect to explore Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes and more. Beulah with Crystal lake is super close and beautiful. The house was awesome and had everything we needed and the host was available to answer all of our questions. The beds were super comfortable. We'd definitely stay here again.

Great stay

We had an excellent stay! The communication was awesome, host is very responsive and friendly, checking in and out was a breeze. We loved the fire pit in the backyard and took advantage of the free canoe rental offered by the host. This house provided instant vacation for us. Thank you!
