Bike rentals in Frankfort, 231-399-0329. Point Betsie Lighthouse tours, Frankfort, MI. (231)-352-7644, FISHING Great fishing can be had right off your dock on Upper and Lower Herring Lake. Please catch and release, especially on Lower and Upper Herring Lakes. For fishermen who like to cast near Lake Michigan, both Frankfort and Elberta have fishing piers on Lake Betsie, which is essentially Frankfort Harbor. It is known for salmon, brown trout, steelhead, smallmouth bass, and catfish. On calm days, locals like to fish from the north and south cement breakwater piers that reach way out into Lake Michigan. The Frankfort Tackle Box on Main St has bait, tackle, licenses and great advice. For salmon, lake trout and steelhead charters, I recommend Power Trip or Tiny Bubbles.

It was nice to have free WIFI at this location. The lake was fantastic and had everything we needed. Owner was easy to contact and responded in a timely manner. We will be back. ##### Jeff C. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen W. 5 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### great spot on lovely lake Newly updated (and not quite fully outfitted) very nice place. Small bedrooms but comfortable beds. Nice kitchen and living room with Roku TV and beautiful view of lake. Excellent internet. But best of all are the kayaks and assorted boats and outdoor lounging furniture, including a dock and a foam pad out on the lake. This part of the lake is very shallow--we walked out to the foam pad to hang out there. Very nice hiking nearby and very close to Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets. Host quickly responded to a call when needed. ##### Karen W.

Nice lake view from cottage, quiet, very comfortable, everything new. Already mentioned to owner some suggestions. Was able to grill and enjoy eating outside. Our cottage was attached to another and no one was in the other for 2 nights, after others arrived, it wasn’t as quiet, but that was our last night, so it was manageable. We would definitely come back to this location. ##### Kelly d.

Enjoyed many of the amenities onsite; kayaking, grilled out, sat on the deck to watch sunset and gaze at the multitude of stars in the night sky. We were very close to other points of interest; Frankfort, Crystal Lake, Beulah, Sleeping Bear dunes, Traverse City and many sandy beaches to choose from. I highly recommend this location, we felt nothing was lacking in our little cabin for the week. They even added more dock and seating while we were there. We do have one request of the owners, think about adding a fire pit for evening smores. Thank you for your attention to the little things, this made out trip enjoyable. ##### Nicole P.

Cabins are brand new inside and amazing! We had a wonder full time in this cabin. Easy check in and out. Everything was clean, beautiful and pretty well brand new. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for everyone. Thank you to our hosts for the lovely accommodations. ##### Jason C.
