This house was a great addition to our stay. The backyard was perfect for a wide range of ages. The children used the fenced in backyard, swing set and ropes course for outdoor fun while the adults utilized the patios, and fireplace. The indoors provided enough space for three families to have their own space when needed. We hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. ##### Reuben R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth P. 10 Aug 2024 #### Fantastic home for family with teens. Very nice and spacious. Lots of living space and 3 bathrooms. Washer and dryer was good for teens. Loved the fire pit. Walking distance to the beach and Lake Michigan and restaurants. Near the Sleeping Bear Dunes and other fun places to go. We highly recommend. ##### Elizabeth P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula T. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Aptly named, the Gathering Place! Eight friends stayed here as part of Ironman Frankfort. The house was super spacious. We had a cookout the first night in the back yard and it was a great vibe. Quiet neighborhood. No street noise. Large garage so we could bring all of our bikes and gear inside to stage. Kitchen nicely stocked with spices, coffee station and soaps. Just one mile from town, so you can easily walk downtown or ride a bike. We LOVED this place! There is a playset in the back - incase you have kids, which we didn't and a fire pit- which we didn't get to. Also a ping pong table in the garage, so nicely appointed. ##### Paula T.

I thought the linens provided were rough and low cost. The outside of the house look abandoned, waist high weeds and uncut lawn. The house seems to have been spruced up after someone else owned it, maybe? Unmentioned amenities like a fire pit and a long untended goldfish pond and stacks of firewood were an indication. Makes a bad impression and must irritate the neighbors with lack of visible care. I have pictures to illustrate but your system would not allow me to paste them here ##### DAVID S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy T. 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Frankfort is a lovely town The property was perfect for our stay. The house was just what we needed. I do think the management company could have mowed, one of the bedrooms was accidentally locked by cleaners, so it took us awhile to find the hidden room, and the check in was a little off, as the lockbox was not working properly. But none of this will deter me from renting this lovely house if we find ourselves back in Frankfort. ##### Amy T.
