After spending the day at one of the numerous beaches nearby, we’d head back in the early evening, make dinner, watch the sunset, play some games, and basically spend what they used to call “quality time”. Just what we needed (and wanted). ##### Brad H.

Great spot. A bit rustic but that is what we were looking for. We spent all of our time on the deck taking in the view of the dunes and sunsets. Only note is the house is fully stocked with essentials (cooking supplies, utensils, spices, grill, games) and this was not listed. ##### Bradley M.

House has a very cabin like feel with large rooms. View from the upstairs bedroom is breathtaking. Although the home is older it has every modern convenience you could need. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows. Watch for the eagles. They came by several times each day. Close enough to Frankfort and many other small towns. ##### Beth S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew C., McLean, VA 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Location Location Location We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy home overlooking Lake Michigan. As others have noted, the view from the deck is stunning and it's just a short drive to the secluded private beach below. The clear waters of Crystal Lake are also just a few minutes away, along with the cute hamlet of Frankfort, Sleeping Bear Dunes, the Platte River, and a host of other scenic locations that offer a full menu of summertime fun and relaxation. Although somewhat dated on the interior, the house was comfortable and everything was in working order. We wouldn't hesitate to return. ##### Andrew C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer K. 7 Jul 2023 #### Spacious yet cozy The high ceilings, wraparound deck, and panoramic lake views breathe so much life into this older home. We had both sunny days and overcast ones; no matter the weather, it was idyllic to be out on the huge deck looking out at the water, the stars, or the wildlife. Although we spent most of our visit over on Crystal Lake, everyone enjoyed morning walks around the golf course grounds. Much of the decor and appliances are dated, but they're still functional. We easily cooked a full dinner in the kitchen. That said, the newer updates are definitely appreciated: the updated bedroom linens are fresh and cheerful, the showerheads are great, and the new living room couch was very comfortable. We would politely suggest that, if updates continue, new mattresses would make a big difference. The current ones are quite old and firm (hence why someone slept on the couch). ##### Jennifer K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arianne P. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home, beautiful views This was exactly what I was hoping for when I booked this vacation. The views were unbelievable and the house was very nice. There were two things I was disappointed with and they both were concerning the property management company. I did receive text messages and overall was very easy; however I believe it was an automated system. The listing said there was private (to the club) beach access. I eventually found it, but the bot kept telling me the closest beach I could access was the Frankfort public beach (which is an awesome beach, but at least a 10 minute drive). The other disappointment was that despite the tank gauge reading the tank was over half full, there was zero propane for the grill. I didn't discover this until I was trying to cook on it and had family waiting on dinner. The property/house itself and the amazing sunsets (and surprisingly sun rises) definitely overshadowed these minor disappointments. Great house, great views, great family vacation! Would not hesitate to book here again! ##### Arianne P.

This property is in the perfect location with views of the woods, the lake, and the dunes! We loved the drive in and out of the neighborhood with fall colors visible over the rolling, manicured hills of the golf course. We went to Traverse City and Frankfort and came home to a cozy cabin experience. We spent family time around the fire (stocked with duraflame logs for our convenience), and crafted + played table top games in the cozy dining area. Over the lake we saw a full double rainbow in the morning, and a clear picture of Ursa Major at night. We drank coffee and cozied up together - and the one time that we needed help from vacasa they were accommodating and responsive. We would absolutely return in the future and recommend to family and friends. ##### Ashley S.

This location is worth it for the location and beautiful views! My daughters and I had a great experience staying here. The home definitely has that rustic feel. If you like wood interiors, scents of a fireplace, and that cabin feel; please look into this rental! The view is gorgeous and it's tucked away in the woods facing the lake. I would definitely book this again. The location is perfect if you want to tour the dunes, crystal lake, and downtown Frankfort. It's literally a couple of minutes from the Betsie lighthouse! :) ##### Thomas S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne G. 3 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gogola visit We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The deck overlooking Lake Michigan was awesome to enjoy early morning coffee or evening cocktails. The fireplace was a nice feature to utilize on a couple of the chillier nights. Ample kitchen and dining space. Few minor issues, such as the lightbulbs in the main floor bathroom went out while we were there and so we had to take some from the table lamps. Maybe a good idea to check those or leave a spare one somewhere for just such instances. Also, when we arrived, one of the dining table chairs was very broken (the back was completely off one side and many spindles were unattached). We set this chair off to the side, but it may be a good idea to remove it and replace it. Brought our own pillows and were glad we did as the ones provided were really flat. Overall this was a great home with a great view and plenty of provided amenities to make our week's stay AWESOME!! ##### Michelle K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori S. 11 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent week The view is stunning.
