Also dog-friendly! Restoration is a cute little dog-friendly cottage near downtown Frankfort that is just 7 blocks from Lake Michigan and Frankfort Beach. It features a newly expanded outdoor deck with YEAR-ROUND PRIVATE HOT TUB, outdoor gas grill, outdoor dining, bonfire ring, and fully-fenced in backyard. Also features new furnace and new central air! The location and layout makes for a great romantic getaway destination for couples or a cozy home away from home for individuals or small families. INTERACTION: Our local property manager lives nearby and is available to address any questions, concerns, or issues that may occur. NEIGHBORHOOD: The cottage is located in the downtown residential portion of Frankfort. It is basically right in the heart of town! It's just one block from Main Street and downtown Frankfort, which has a vibrant and growing array of restaurants, cafes, shops, banks, a couple gas stations, a post office, a grocery store, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a historic theater (the Garden Theater). It is also just 7 blocks (about 0.6 miles) from Lake Michigan, beautiful Frankfort Beach, and Frankfort's famous historic pier and lighthouse. The cottage is also only about a 15-minute drive from the start of the incredible Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! It's also just a 22-minute drive from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. Downtown Traverse City is also only just over a 1-hour drive from the cottage. ACCESS: The second floor is locked off for further renovation work and is not included with the rental. Similarly, there is a 4-season breakfast room / sunroom off the kitchen that has not been renovated and is currently just used as storage space. The basement is locked off and is not for use by guests. THE SPACE: The home has been party renovated since we purchased it in November, 2013\. Inside, the kitchen and bathroom been recently updated, the hardwood floors have been refinished throughout, and the interior has been recently painted. The interior has a fun, colorful, and beachy theme throughout the house. The home features a lot of artwork that was painted by the owner of the property. Outside, the deck has been expanded and painted, a new hot tub / spa was added, the entire backyard was landscaped and fully fenced-in, and the outdoor bonfire ring was added. New windows, doors, and siding were also installed in 2025\. Note that all of the outdoor amenities (including the hot tub) are available for use all year-round! TRANSIT: Public transportation is available via The Benzie Bus, but it is suggested that guests have their own means of transportation. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) PROXIMITY TO ROAD: The property is quite close to the road (7th Street, which is part of M22 as it goes through Frankfort). There is a fair amount of traffic and road noise, particularly due to fairly high traffic in the summer and snowplows in the winter. If you are sensitive to road noise, this might not be a good fit. 2) ABANDONED HOME NEARBY: There is an abandoned home to the west of the property. There are no safety concerns associated with this, but it does look quite ugly. This shouldn't be a big issue, but we do want to have people aware of this. 3) HOT TUB: The hot tub is available for use year-round and is great in the winter! 4) NEW CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING: In October, 2025 a new furnace and new central air conditioning were both installed at the property. 5) PET POLICY: Up to 3 dogs are permitted at the property. If bringing 1 to 3 dogs, please make certain that they are included on the reservation and that the pet fee is appropriately paid. More than 3 dogs is strictly prohibited and any pets other than dogs are also strictly prohibited. 6) NUMBER OF GUESTS: Please note that our pricing is based upon the number of guests, with pricing being higher with each additional guest that is included on the reservation. Please make certain that the correct number of guests is specified on the reservation so that the pricing is correct. 7) EARLY CHECK-IN: Our policy is to allow early check-in on the day of arrival if the property is available for check-in. We will not know until the day before arrival whether or not the property will be available for early check-in or not. You can check with our local property manager the day before arrival or on your arrival day to see if the property will be available for early check-in or not. 8) LATE CHECK-OUT: We maintain a very strict and structured cleaning schedule. As such, late check-outs are strictly prohibited. 9) SECOND FLOOR: The second floor of the home has not yet been renovated and it is locked off and not available for guest usage. The rental of the home also includes the first floor of the home, but it does include the entire first floor. 10) BASEMENT: The basement of the home is also locked off and is not available for guest usage. 11) PHOTOS: All photos that are shown were taken in September and October of 2025. 12) STR REGISTRATION: Note that the property is an officially registered and sanctioned short-term rental property with the city of Frankfort. 13) PERSONAL HISTORY: This property means a great deal to our family. The name "Restoration Cottage" not only refers to the physical restoration of the property that we have pursued, but it also refers to the restoration of our family that took place when we came back together as a family of four in October, 2017, after having been separated for 4 years and 8 months. It was a great healing environment for our family! We then moved to a larger home in August, 2019, but this home will always have great memories for us and we hope and pray that it helps to bless and restore other relationships as well! :-) ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100320000/100312000/100311946/9bd3a18d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 4BR & 3BA, 3 King Beds, 7 mi to Airport Traverse City - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews £239 includes taxes & fees 26 Jan - 27 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=100311946&PinnedHotelID=100311946&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97040000/97032800/97032766/c1c58937.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Town Escape - NEWLY-REMODELED & GORGEOUS!

Nice and clean. Perfect for an anniversary get away but easily could be used for a week of family fun. Wonderful and fun art work. The house felt bigger than what I expected from the photos. The hot tub was incredible, we definitely were able to relax. Thank you Restoration Cottage! ##### Susannah S.

Big enough for us and two dogs. All our initial hiccups answered by property manager right away and thank you on being so prompt helping us. We worked on our property during the day and was nice to come home to hot tub. Then enjoyed dinner at several places and movies at night with our fur babies. Great for us and watching the sunsets almost every night didn't hurt either. ##### Stacy H.

There is noise from loud vehicles that are using M22\. However it’s one or two vehicles that don’t have proper mufflers on their exhaust. No fault of the place. We enjoyed the hot tub. ##### Amy T.

We spent a lot of time outdoors but the house was still great. Everything was clean. Seemed to have a good amount of stuff in the kitchen if one were to want to cook there. The only reason we did not was because it's such a close walk to all the great restaurants. Only a short walk away to plenty of good food, bars, shops and most importantly Lake Michigan. I would 100% stay again. I just wish there were screens in the windows. So, you can enjoy the nice breeze without worrying about bugs getting in. But the AC and fan did the job for late September. Bed and pillows were comfy! Living room and house decor were cute ##### Cj L.

The best place the whole trip was the hot tub especially in the middle of the night. Two doors are blocked off in the dining room and at least one of them led to a space upstairs because there was a small second floor, you could see it from outside. Throughout our stay we had heard footsteps and things moving around upstairs. I had pepper spray with me in case of emergencies but it was a fear of ours during our stay. In the winter there was not much to do up there that I am interested in but I loved the hot tub and my first experience on a vacation without family. Overall I would rate my stay a 3.5-4 due to my reasons above but I would still recommend. Next time you go I would just ask the property manager about the upstairs if you feel off about it. ##### Ashley L.

My husband and I stayed here for our eighth anniversary. We had such a wonderful stay. It was very close to the beach for a nice walk, store for food, a nice little cafe in walking distance (Crescent bakery & cafe) that we went to check out. The hot chocolate and donuts were delicious! The hot tub was close to the back porch so it wasn’t to chilly in and out. However lovely our stay was I have to point out the funniest thing! The bedroom bed was to small for my husband to lay in. He’s quite tall and we have a California King so his feet won’t touch the bed frame. He lagged so hard when he laid in it! Thank you for an amazing quite getaway just like we wanted. ##### Celeste M.

Everything was as described in the listing. We found the hot tub to be nice and clean. The only negative that I can say is that it had not been cleaned yet when we checked in, due to some sort miscommunication with cleaner, I believe. It was left in good condition by the previous guests, but obviously we needed bedding, clean towels, etc. We left and and walked around while we waited for it to be cleaned, so we didn't actually get in until around 5:30 pm. It was a bit frustrating, but given the circumstances, it was handled promptly. ##### Jerry R.
