We absolutely loved our stay. The house was perfect! We loved hiking the dunes and love the quietness of ELBERTA, any option to go into a bigger town like Frankfort 2 miles away. We had so much fun exploring the area going to food trucks going to the shops and the beaches. Alpaca farm was a great success as well! We will definitely be coming back.

Great little place nestled back in the woods which makes it feel secluded. This was a last minute booking along with a last minute addition of a pet, which Erin kindly allowed. Everything you need can be found in the home. Theres a nice little hiking trail across the street that overlooks Lake Michigan. We had a great time and most definitely will be coming back. Erin is a great host thank you
