Spruce at Lake Bluff Preserve-Lake Michigan Views-Sleeps 20

Our newly built Spruce house was designed to provide large families and groups up to 20 guests with a comfortable eating and living space, all with stunning views of Lake Michigan. This four story home has two wrap around decks perfect for watching the sunset, 8 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, three living rooms. For additional space for up to 28 guests, rent our attached Poplar house, *Spruce and Poplar are automatically rented as one unit during high season (June, July, August).

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, skiing at Crystal Mountain and you don't need to leave our property to hike, mountain bike and explore the dune and forests. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be enjoyed from your front door in the Winter. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.
Watch sunsets, bald eagles, whitetail deer, monarch butterflies and other native species from the comfort of your deck.

**Due to high water and erosion on Lake Michigan, we have closed the stairs down the Bluff. If you wish to spend time on the beach, we recommend the Frankfort Public Beach or any of the public beaches on Crystal Lake. We hope to reopen the stairs as soon as mother nature allows us.**

Very close proximity to M-22 makes Lake Bluff Preserve a great rally point for car and motorcycle touring clubs, wine tourists, retreats and reunions, golfers and anyone who wants a to behold the beauty of Lake Michigan and Northwest Michigan. Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.

Spectacular Views
Every room, including the bedrooms, has a stunning view of Lake Michigan. It feels like youā€™re in California. Our group could not stop talking about how nice it was to wake up to the blue waters of Lake Michigan. Highly recommended!

Winter getaway
This property was a wonderful place for our friends to gather and celebrate a few birthdays. It was well stocked for the crowd, clean, and more spacious than expected. We loved the dining spaces and the view. The beds were very comfortable! Would def rent again!!!

Annual Family Vacation
We had our annual family vacation at the Spruce (family members from NY, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Michigan) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect (other than not having curtains on one of the bedroom doorwalls for morning sun shining in) for our large group and was very well equipped for our family cooking times. The sunset views were amazing and stargazing was great too! Having a lot of open space to share together (with three youngsters) was a bonus! I hope we can make it back on one of our future annual family trips!

This property got even better!
We had the pleasure of staying at this location this time last year and were excited to return because it was a wonderful place to stay with friends. Not only is the setting lovely but the house is well appointed with everything youā€™ll need for your stay. In fact, they added additional beds and another fridge over the last year. This made our stay even more comfortable and we had another great visit. We hope to return for more fun in the future.

Awesome View of Lake Michigan
We stayed at the Spruce! Amazing views of Lake Michigan and beautiful sunset every night!! Ample space for our 3 families. We used the fire pit every night we were there! Totally amazing experience I would totally come back here again. Weā€™re a family that travels a lot around the world and Iā€™m going to tell you that this place ranks in the top 5 places weā€™ve ever stayed!! Amazingly clean, huge rooms, more than enough bathrooms, all the amenities and more than what you would need for a weekā€™s stay.

Great views, bring binoculars.
We had multiple generations of our family staying over for three nights, and we had a terrific time. Kids played in the sand, we had a fire every night, and a couple of terrific sunsets. Two dining room tables and the overall size of the house meant we all had plenty of room to be with each other, but not on top of each other. The master bedroom needs to have the door resized, but everything else seemed in good order. The owners were very responsive to the few questions I had prior to checking in.

Frankfort house
House, views, location and cleanliness where all excellent. So much to do in the area. I would not hesitate in recommending this house to a large group. We had 22 (13 adults and 9 kids) and we found space for all with a couple air mattresses. I would suggest owners supply more towels and maybe 1 additional fridge but those items are very minor.

Needed more work
Really unfortunate to say that this stay was not carefree. The first night we got there we were caught in a storm, their windows were not leak proof, water everywhere, screeen door damaged due to it , rugs drenched. We were up all night cleaning floors and washing towels. We then had no WiFi for a few days , which is not what we were told and that did not connect smoothly. We then were dealt with an awful ( like throw up gag ) sewer smell on the second floor most of our stay. Come to find they chargerd me for the security deposit they say due to the screen door and the amount of linen they had to do wash. Really?! There were 22 if us, I would think there would be a lot of linen to wash. Ontop of all this, owners family would ā€œstopā€in whenever she felt like it. The stairs down the Lake Michigan are broken, no way to get to the beach from there. We had to ride into town which defeated the purpose.
