Liked: Cleanliness
Super clean, comfortable beds and living room & dining furniture. Large bathroom, good shower. The only negatives were: lack of grill, no outside table or activities, kitchen lacked adequate cookware (had just very minimal basics) and only 2 so-so pillows for each sleeping space. Beds were firm, comfortable and there was enough linens. Towels were thick, very nice. Really nice place, especially for mature people. Very quiet area & no noise from the other unit.

Perfect location

Perfectly situated between Elberta and Frankfort, easy access to the Betsie River trail for a short bike ride or walk. The apartment was great, clean and well maintained. Scott and his wife were attentive hosts and checking in as need if we needed anything. Daughter left a shirt and they texted us right away so we could turn around, I thought they were gracious hosts.

4 day stay

What a perfect place. Plenty of room for two couples and minutes away from downtown Frankfort and a quick 10 minute drive to Lake Michigan lookout and pathway to the beach area and lighthouse. Everything was on one floor with no steps to climb. One very spacious bathroom with walk in shower, Perfect!

Great place in Frankfort

Excellent place to stay. It was very clean, organized and well stocked for our stay. We had one very small issue that needed attention and the owner was immediately responsive, helpful and kind. The property is very close to the road and I was initially concerned about that, but it is a dead end road and there is very little, if any, traffic. It is a quiet and peaceful area but still close to town. There is a bike trail at the end of the road, which we used to go to the beach (about 1 1/2 miles away). We would definitely stay here again.

Summer Getaway

This property was perfect for our weekend of hiking and reminiscing in Northern Michigan. The rental was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect for walking Into Elberta while being very quiet and private. It was an easy drive to Frankfort, Beulah and Crystal Lake. We will definitely return.
