Approachable Luxury Summer Vacation

The property is exceptionally high quality and beautifully maintained. The floor plan includes an open format kitchen/living/dining area, perfect for eating and socializing. The kitchen/bathrooms/and laundry room were generously outfitted with all the needed supplies, had high end appointments, and felt like home! We very much liked the location - walking distance to Crystal Beach, a bike ride away from downtown Frankfort, and convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes trails. Joanna and her team offered such kind hospitality: acknowledging our daughter's upcoming wedding with a lovely wine basket; gifting us a gift certificate to a fabulous Italian restaurant in Frankfort, and even custom thank you notes to remember our stay. We recommend this home without ANY hesitation and hope we can return.

Fantastic in every way!

We enjoyed everything about this property! All 6 adults in our group were more than impressed. Location: only about 5 minutes from Frankfort, but in a woodsy area. Deer visited the yard more than once. The house: beautiful, with quality furnishings. Every item you could think of has been provided; attention to detail is incredible (I.e. well-equipped kitchen, with a printed guide to help you find everything). Comfortable beds. Beautiful well-functioning fireplace. Spacious, relaxing (and clean!) screened porch. Cleanliness: spotless everywhere. A great home base for all the fun things to do in the Benzie/Leelanau counties area. We would all return to this lovely home again!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! This is our second summer staying here and we absolutely love it. The location is very convenient to the CSA and the lake.
