We had a great trip to Frankfort! The weather was not the best, but the place was great and was close to everything. We had plenty of room for everyone and the house was fully stocked. Jerry was wonderful to work with. We will definitely stay here again if we get a chance to come back!

We had a wonderful time.

Oct 13 - 16th 2023 We had a wonderful time staying in Frankfort during Fall Fest 2023. Enjoyed the parade, especially the Mutt March, the farmers market, the pumpkin drop and especially the Scottville Clown Bane while enjoying some St. Ambrose and Stormcloud in the entertainment tent. We lucked out on the weather. Enjoyed all the shops and some excellent food from A. Papano's, Dinghy's, Roadhouse & Old Town. Of course had to fill our Stormcloud Growler and pick up a t-shirt or two. Took the teenagers out to see Sleeping Bear Dunes. You know you've done ok when you can impress 3 16 year old boys. The house and amenities are wonderful and we had some cozy nights chatting and catching up. Thank you for sharing with us. Hopefully this will be the first of many Beachcomber & Birdhouse stays.

Fabulous Home!

The house is lovely & is the most well-stocked of any vacation house I've ever stayed in, & I've stayed in a lot! Modern, clean, lovely decor & enough space that we enjoy each other. We loved the patio & ate dinner out there every night followed by a fire in the firepit.

Perfect Every Summer!

Our family has been staying in this beautiful house for several years now…maybe six or seven? We have lost count! The house is equipped with everything we need and it’s so comfortable and clean. It feels like home, but better….with Lake Michigan just down the street. The owners are very helpful with a notebook full of tips about Frankfort and the surrounding area. We love the location-we can walk to the beach in less than five minutes. We also really enjoy being able to walk to restaurants and shops, the library, the bookstore…it’s all accessible from this house. While we are here it feels like home, but better! Catherine and Jerry, thank you so much for another wonderful time in Frankfort, Michigan.

My wife, 15 month y/o daughter and I stayed here for a long weekend and had a great time. The house has everything you could need, including beach toys, chairs, wagon, etc. and pack and plays and a high chair for little ones. Location cannot be beat and Jerry was really communicative and responsive. Hoping to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful home for a family/friend ski weekend

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids ages 7 & 9) and my best friend's family (2 adults, 2 teens ages 15 & 19) had a wonderful stay at this home! The 2 bedrooms with their bathrooms were perfect for the adults, and the bunk room was great for the 4 kids! The layout of the bunk room's bathroom in conjunction with the rest of the home was a bit awkward, but we totally made it work! There was plenty of room for dinner and games for 8 at the dining room table, and lots of space to relax on the couch after a day of skiing! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything we needed and more, and the showers were hot! Everything in the home was clean and well-labeled, and the neighborhood was beautiful! The owners were great to talk to, and Crystal Mountain was only about a 20 minute drive away. We can't wait to come back next winter!

Space for Everyone

Our family of six stayed here while skiing at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful home with plenty of space for six adults to gather together for meals and fun in the living area while having private spaces. Having access to three bathrooms was wonderful. Highly recommend staying here. Owner was easy to communicate with and checking in was simple. Close to Frankfort Main Street dining options.
