Great stay
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location was convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes and local towns. We hiked, went beachcombing and shopping In Frankfort, Empire and Glen Arbor. The cottage had one of the best supplied kitchens of all the VRBOs we've stayed inand was very clean on our arrival. Very responsive host. Highly recommended.

Long weekend getaway
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect fit for us. We liked the wooded lot and quiet location, yet it allowed easy access to all of the things we wanted to do. We visited Sleeping Bear Dunes at multiple locations to hike, beachcomb, and enjoy the Fall colors. Frankfurt and Empire were not far away. The cottage had all of our needs covered. We really enjoyed the fireplace. The property description is accurate and we highly recommend it.

Cool cabin
The owner of the property has done a complete update to this smallish "cabin" in a forest setting near Platte Lake. It has a very well equipped kitchen including coffee and a few basic condiments. A new washer and dryer also came in bery handy. Outside it feels like a wooded campsite away from the road. There's a propane grill, a fire pit and outdoor furniture. The location is near Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort, so there's lots to enjoy in the area. We enjoyed our stay.

Exactly what you are looking for.
This place is the perfect up north stay thats located close to a lot of amazing sights and fun cities. We felt secluded but not far from anything at the same time. Everything was clean, seemed very recently undated, and the owner was quick to communicate. 10/10 would definitely stay here again

Perfect Location & Accommodations
This cabin was just right for our family of 4. The kids slept on the futon couches in the living room and it suited us very well. The cabin was fresh, clean and very convenient. The location was excellent - very close to many beautiful points of interest. It was also very well stocked - wood for the campfire, toasting forks for roasting marshmallows, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher and many other small touches that really impressed us!!! We will definitely book this cabin next time we visit this beautiful area of Michigan!

Sleeping bear getaway
Wonderful cottage in just the right location for all our Sleeping Bear Dune adventures (hiking and biking). Very clean, spacious, and well stocked (including the beautiful kitchen and new gas grill!). We also loved having the washer and dryer for clean (and dry) beach towels each day!! Will definitely be back!!

Peaceful & Relaxing
This cabin was exactly what my wife and I needed for a quiet getaway. It was clean and very comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect for short trips. Our favorite restaurant was The Manitou about 6 min from the cabin and Birch & Maple in Frankfort. The host was also very helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back next summer!
