Sandhill Cottage was brand new and well appointed. It was in a quiet corner surrounded by trees for privacy. It was a great jumping off point for us to explore the "little finger" of Michigan. We had room for our motorcycle trailer and loved the front porch. The only suggestion we have would be to include a grill.

This cottage was perfect for our family of 4. It had a secluded and woodsy feel but close enough to ride a bike to both Elberta and Frankfort attractions. The cottage itself was very modern with an open concept that felt like home to us. We enjoyed being minutes from the beach and the boat launch.

Very nice place. Bed was comfortable which was a huge bonus. Very close to downtown Frankfurt which was nice because of boat launch was right there.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was perfect! We loved hiking the dunes and love the quietness of ELBERTA, any option to go into a bigger town like Frankfort 2 miles away. We had so much fun exploring the area going to food trucks going to the shops and the beaches. Alpaca farm was a great success as well! We will definitely be coming back.

Great little place nestled back in the woods which makes it feel secluded. This was a last minute booking along with a last minute addition of a pet, which Erin kindly allowed. Everything you need can be found in the home. Theres a nice little hiking trail across the street that overlooks Lake Michigan. We had a great time and most definitely will be coming back. Erin is a great host thank you
