20 years ago I would bring my boat to Frankfort for the month of August to salmon fish. Every weekend, the family and I would drive up and stay at Harbor Lights. The memories we made were priceless. Fast forward to today…My son, now 26 years old told me he wanted to do a golf weekend up north. I decided to play Arcadia Bluffs. When I realized how close Harbor Lights was it was an easy decision on where we were staying. Luckily the place hadn’t changed a bit! The location can’t be beat. Sunsets on the pier are unbelievable. I’ll be back for sure!

The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. We weren't facing the water but a simple walk around the building and we were on the beach. We had a wonderful time. Frankfort is a wonderful town with plenty of shops and restaurants, and a convenient drive up M22 to Sleeping Bear and the Leelanau peninsula was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone!
