Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rich B. 15 Jul 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Amazing location - okay stay The building does NOT have AC, which means windows open at all times for our mid-summer stay. Which means we could hear every conversation/dog bark in the adjacent unit and every bit of noise from the huge party held next door. 30+ drunk kids celebrating a graduation party make a lot of noise and sleeping was tough. In addition, we chose this property in large part due to it's beach access. Erosion on the lake has broken off the stairs to the beach, so it is now beach view, not beach access. The erosion is not under control of the property management, but they either need to fix the steps or change the listing to clarify that the beach is not accessable. ##### Rich B.

A quiet beautiful setting for a long weekend out of town. The place was immaculate and fully stocked with everything we needed. We got lucky and had the entire property to ourselves. It might have been weird to share with other vacationers but maybe not! And being late April it didn’t matter to us that there was no lake access. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Clean and very well-stocked, with comfortable beds. The views from the bluff and the shared deck are spectacular. We saw some fantastic sunsets. There was nobody else in the adjacent houses, so we had privacy. A grocery store and restaurants in Frankfort were a 5-7 min drive away. Our only hiccup was that internet was a bit slow and erratic the first couple of days, which made it tough to do some work-related calls. But the owners were \*very\* responsive, and suggested alternative options (e..g, offered us alternate spaces). We will be back! ##### M P.

The most amazing sunset met us when we arrived, which is easily the best view in the midwest. The suite was modern, and the kitchen was stocked with plates, silverware, and the pizza pan we needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and we were even surprised to see a washer and dryer upstairs. Hosts made reservations, and our check-in super easy. Nice proximity or a short drive to downtown Frankfort too - it felt remote but accessible to the town. Will definitely return. ##### Terri K.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Kim T. 2 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Better communication needed! We learned 3 days into our stay that a wedding was taking place as multitudes of people and cars started to show up on property (more than the property should legally accomodate). What started out as a beautiful, peaceful stay turned loud and disruptive. The property manager ended up refunding our final night's charge when we said we were leaving early. They said that they normally inform guests up front/in advance about large groups of other guests being on property at the same time in the spirit of full disclosure. Apparently, they sent us a message through VRBO the same day we were en route to check in! We didn't get that message timely, unfortunately. It is a beautiful place and we might try it again, but the property manager needs to get its act together! We should have known weeks in advance of this disturbance so that we could have planned appropriately. ##### Kim T. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill R. 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Hidden Gem! What a beautiful property and facility - 5 stars all around! I couldn't be more happy with everything at Lake Bluff Preserve. The views of the lake high above from the bluff are absolutely stunning and can be viewed from the windows of the house, outside the back door with plenty of room to roam, and the landing deck a short walk from the house puts you right on the water's edge. Enjoyed the sunset from this vantage point every night! The house was fresh, new and very clean and had everything one would need for a comfortable stay. The property managers were welcoming at check in, quickly responded to some initial questions I had and were very friendly and accommodating of any additional needs during our stay. It felt like a home away from home inside the house but you knew you were somewhere special once you stepped outside the door to enjoy the views! The drive up to the property itself on a winding driveway passing through evergreens and cedars made it feel even more special and tucked away from any busy roads - very tranquil and quiet. The only sounds you can hear are the waves from the lake and wildlife. Highly, highly recommend this hidden gem whether for a weekend getaway, a family vacation or a large group event as the grounds can accommodate it all. Will definitely be returning again! Thank you to everyone at Lake Bluff Preserve for being such wonderful hosts. ##### Jill R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam B. 19 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property Couldnt ask for a better property location right on the coast of Lake Michigan. Important to note that there is no AC however this was not an issue for us even in the beginning of August as we opened windows and used fans at night which kept everyone cool. Also important to note that there are multiple houses/apartments connected. For half our stay we were next to 20-25 people who had 8-10 cars and were less than pleasant/entered our property multiple times "by mistake." Might be worth looking at what is booked next door if you do not have the whole property to yourself. But overall a wonderful location and close to a lot of the sites and trails that Frankfort has to offer! ##### Adam B.

Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short but sweet We enjoyed our stay overlooking Lake Michigan! Only complaint was that the neighboring unit’s use of marijuana one night was definitely noticeable through the back windows of our unit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas O. 24 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful View Spectacular location. Only drawback was close proximity to neighboring units. Noise of neighbors detracted from our stay. ##### Thomas O.

Doesn't get any better for a lake Michigan view. High up on a bluff with unobstructed views! Close to town, very modern amenities. Private and quiet........secluded! Will definitely come back. ##### Jeff M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terri C. 2 Jan 2019 #### Pleasantly relaxing Accommodating and friendly caretaker and host ##### Terri C.
