Nice stay in a rustic cabin with almost complete privacy, yet minutes from shopping and the lake. Good base for exploring NW Michigan.

We are very glad to have found this cabin so close to town and the beach! We were traveling as a family (2 young children) and our dog so we needed a place conveniently located but also private. The cabin has plenty of room and all the necessary accommodations, with a large private yard. We spent most of our time at Frankfort beach and enjoyed wonderful weather. The cabin was a welcome retreat at the end of a long day in the sun. We utilized the grill and the outdoor patio, and were grateful for comfortable sleeping spaces. Check-in and check-out was easy and the owner was very responsive when needed.
