Suite Baby James is outstanding!

This is a delightful place to stay when visiting the Frankfort area. The house is clean and has everything, except a TV. But who needs TV when you have good friends and the beauty of northern Michigan. The only suggestion is to add a picnic table to the back yard. We will definitely look for Suite Baby James when we return next year.

Frankfort stay

If you come visit the lovely town of Frankfort you will want to stay here! Lauren and her husband have put so much work into this home and the attention to detail shows. They went above and beyond as hosts and have everything you need. It was one of the best vacation rentals I’ve ever had. Don’t think twice, book it, you won’t be disappointed!

Suite Stay

We had a wonderful, relaxing time with friends at Suite Baby James in Frankfort. The place is within walking distance to town and Frankfort Beach. It is immaculate and we enjoyed listening to records in the living room in the evening. We had an amazing time and look forward to returning next summer.

Very, very pleased

This is a very, very nice rental. Conveniently located to downtown's shops and restaurants as well as the beach. It was very clean, well laid out, and the host had focused on many details to make our stay extra special. The house features two bedrooms - each with a large bathroom - that made our stay with another couple a great weekend. Each room boasts privacy with a shared living space. And the decor is beautiful. We'd stay again and would definitely recommend this wonderful rental.

Perfect Summer Escape!

Our family enjoyed staying at Suite Baby James! The house was spotless and perfect for our family of four. We loved the quick walk to the beach and downtown Frankfort, the proximity to the park for basketball and pickle ball and listening to all the records/ playing games every night. My teen boys and husband didn’t even miss a tv! Lauren was available at a moments notice to help if we needed anything too. Definitely would stay again!

Amazing home in Frankfort!

This was a last minute trip, the owners could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Communication with them was fantastic. I just can't say enough about their home, every detail is top notch, from the cleanliness, colors and wonderful decor to the amenities in the bathrooms, kitchen supplies and much more. I can't think of anything the home was lacking. We will definitely come back to this wonderful home in Frankfort. Walking a couple blocks to the main shopping and dining street and then down to Lake Michigan was just great.

Home Away From Home

My sister and I were desperately in need of a getaway and Lauren's Suite Baby James was the perfect spot! From the décor to the amenities, there were so many awesome little touches at this lovely home. The house is a short walk to downtown or to the beach to watch the sunset on the water. It's a cozy space for a weekend away and we'll definitely be back!
