Perfect place for leaf change season and a great stay for ice fishing, skiing and snowmobile. This cozy cottage in the pines is located conveniently off of M22, tucked behind the trees and ready for you. Full washer/dryer in the house, a beautiful deck to sip coffee and relax!
Equipped with a whole house backup generator that will kick on if the power ever goes out - so you can continue your stay comfortably uninterrupted!
King bedroom, Queen bedroom and 2 Full beds (bunks.. top bunk weight limit 350 lbs, bottom bunk 450lbs) plus a queen air mattress and two futons.
No need to pull straws on who gets the best nest - each of our mattresses are high quality foam mattresses with luxury gel mattress toppers. You will find each bed has the same comfy sheets, quilt and fluffy all season hypoallergenic duvet so EVERY guest gets a great nights rest! Every bedroom has a closet with hangers so you can unpack and relax! Your bathroom is stocked with all of the emergency toiletries you may need in case something was forgotten while packing! Enough to get you through until you can check out the local Family Fare or Dollar General (both of which are under 5 minutes from the cottage!). For families with little ones (or pets too!) we have a baby gate that we store in the King bedroom closet that can be set up right before the stairwell to keep them away from the stairs and chair lift **Chair lift is out of order**! We also have a little ingenuity booster seat with a tray for babies/tots along with a pack and play that is also stored in the King room closet. In the front hall closet we have a cute outdoor playpen/dome for babies under 8 months that folds up nicely to go with you outside or down to the beach and have a clean shady station for your little one! We just ask that if you do use the baby items, when you check out please leave the baby items out in the living room so we can give them a deep clean for the next guest! Bath robes, beach towels, cozy blankets, board games and corn hole all included!
Every bedroom has a portable electric fan in the closet for those warmer nights, or for some white noise while you sleep if you’re not used to the quiet of the woods!
We will be off site; the place is totally yours! Even though we are not on site, you are encouraged to contact us any time, with any questions or concerns throughout your stay!
We have a plow service that comes and clears the snow every 3 inches of snowfall during the Winter, so no need to worry about the up north weather locking you in! There is also a small electric fireplace space heater we keep in the basement you are welcome to use! Just be sure to keep it unplugged when not in use.

Great to see kids / grandkids; bedroom/bathroom storage not convenient.
One bdrm had a queen, one a king and one a bunk bed with 2 larger than twin / smaller than double beds. The queen and king rooms had 2 tiny 'tables' for suitcases, purses, phones, etc. The bunk bed room and none; so the 75- and 78-year olds had all their belongings that couldn't hand in the closet on the floor. Also, ladder to the top bunk had narrow metal rungs which were painful to climb (she solved that by leaving her shoes on). We also had ONE very mature 10-year-old girl who we had to list as 'Children', and ONE well-behaved dog that we had to list as 'PetS'. Not being able to be specific probably raised the rental fee.

Famly Ski trip
This was a cute home for our stay. There were eight of us, including five adults, and three children. We were happy and were able to gather comfortably. It is about 20 minutes from Chrysta Mountain and that was our destination. Frankfurt is a cute town. Erica did a great job communicating and was helpful.
Very close to dowtown. Just felt comfortable with my stay. I do wish the queen bed was a little higher off the ground. After doing a half Ironman wasnt as easy to roll out of bed. But the bed was comfy to sleep in. Nice clean house.

Wonderful and restful house!
This was such a nice place to stay for a week. We love Frankfort and this house made our trip just perfect. Erica had everything we needed. Each room has a fan available. Mattress' are SUPER comfortable. Everything was very clean. House has a great deck - perfect for drinking your morning coffee. Careful of the cushions though - they hold water! haha
Our whole family had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend this place.

Nice spot for a group close to Frankfort
My basketball team enjoyed the house. There was plenty of room, it was clean, and as advertised. We got exactly what I expected with a smooth check in and check out process.

Great cottage in the woods
Great cottage only minutes from downtown Frankfort and a short drive to Sleeping Bear’s trailheads. Our stay was comfortable with all of the amenities and thoughtful touches throughout the cottage. Looking forward to coming back to this area and hoping we can stay here again with the pup soon :)
