"The Birdhouse" is unlike any other vacation rental you will find. It is artsy, charming, fun and frivolous. Kids love it – who wouldn’t love a spiral staircase, a sleeping loft, original art pieces, a cookie jar & lunchbox collection, resident mermaid, and magnetic letters on a vintage refrigerator door hung on the wall?

Parents will love their private bedroom to relax in, a tidy kitchen to cook breakfast in, and the outdoor grill for dogs and burgers. Best of all, the beach is steps away, and downtown Frankfort is just a short stroll. Older kids can “run free” exploring the downtown, while young ones head to the beach with Mom and Dad.

It's a 5 minute walk to the beach, to enjoy the water, sand & sunsets, or to downtown Frankfort for the movie theater, ice cream parlors, upscale restaurants, and shopping. Take a 15 minute drive to the "Cherry Bowl" drive-in theater with the kids and don't forget to stop at the "Cherry Hut" restaurant for their delicious cherry pie!

The day is complete when you’ve returned to the beach for the sunset, or possibly even later to gaze at the Milky Way or watch for shooting stars.

But the best part of all ... memories that will last a lifetime!

- "This property was just as described in the listing. The bed was comfortable. The streaming and internet worked well. It was a comfortable place to stay. It was more like staying at a friend’s place than a VRBO. Kim and her husband were very nice and very easy to communicate with. I’m looking forward to my next stay already!" - "We came upon this property entirely by chance and it did not disappoint. Communication with the host was excellent, both prior to arrival and during the stay. The suite was well appointed with anything that we could have needed - even a binder with maps and menus for local attrations and restaurants! Very clean and well maintained. The location was exactly what we were hoping for - quiet (dead end road) but within a short walk (and 91 stairs!) to the beach on Lake Michigan. The overlook to the lake was quite popular at sunset time, but should still be considered at hidden gem. We loved it and will look for availability next time we come to town."

- "To be honest, we reserved the apartment mostly because of the numerous reviews saying how clean it was. And it was very clean. What the reviews didn’t say was how quiet it was. Located, as it is, on a dead end road for which there would be no other purpose of driving there other than to go to one of the few residences on Didrikson Road, the country environment is extremely quiet. There is no sound from the closest highway. The unit is comfortable, parking is literally in front of the door, and the amenities were as promised. Still, it is very close to the trailhead and almost as close to Frankfort. There are likely scores of other choices in Frankfort and/or closer to the beaches; however, I can’t imagine them being as peaceful or, of course, anywhere near as clean. Also, if you have a bike, the access to town could not be easier."

- "We had a lovely visit with a great stay at this Vrbo! It was exactly as described and located right downtown. The front bedroom had a plush bed and the back had a firm bed. We didn't make much in the kitchen but appreciated the dishes and cups! Couch was comfy and we were able to log into our streaming for evening relaxing with ice cream! We are new to the area so tried some downtown spots including Vita Bella Italian - great pizza and salads! Had a delicious cafe miel from Bella Cafe. More great pizza and salad from Stormcloud brewing. And many donuts from Crescent bakery. The fancy waffle cones from The Scoop were fun too! Easy drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes (did not go down the incline) and over to Old Mission Peninsula. The Cherry Hut in Beulah was a great lunch spot during our travels around!"

- "Staying in the Downtown Loft was the perfect getaway! Luxurious accommodations in the heart of historic, quaint Frankfort allowed us to walk everywhere! The views of the lake and Marina were spectacular! Easy and enjoyable! We highly recommend!" - "Frankfort is a hidden gem of a town and this loft is a great place to stay and experience all the town has to offer! We really enjoyed being right in the heart of the town during the busy 4th of July week. We watched the parade from our bedroom window and we watched the fireworks from the back deck! The loft has been gorgeously renovated and decorated with super high end everything. It was a treat to use the beautiful kitchen, with all the tools and cookware you need. The whole place is spotlessly clean and exquisite details are everywhere - smooth wood floors, exposed brick walls, real stone floors and tile in baths, etc. I loved the gorgeous barstools! Both bedrooms are luxurious and comfortable with plenty of storage, especially in the walk-in closet in the main bedroom and numerous drawers for toiletries and cosmetics in the main bathroom. The shower in the main bath is huge with storage and a seat. There’s a vanity with drawers and a place to sit, too. The second bathroom has a glass enclosed tub/shower combo that worked well for our teenager. There is an abundant supply of soft towels and lots of soft fleecy throw blankets in every room. The main bedroom has a portable AC unit so you can cool the room off a bit if you’d like. We didn’t need to use it much. We loved the downtown lifestyle, walking to restaurants, shops, ice cream, and the beach! Bring your bikes to ride the nearby trails or ride through the streets to see all the pretty houses. You will love it, too!"

Our family of seven joined us for dinner & board games on the deck-worked out great. The location was perfect-two blocks to Frankfort’s beach where we swam with family & watched gorgeous sunsets.

In an area abounding in Great Lake & inland lake beaches, nature trails, playgrounds, wineries/breweries/distilleries, & antique shops. 1/2 mile from Lake Michigan
(Adjacent apt available, sleeps 6, see The Elberta House Big Porch Apt)

- "We stayed at the Treehouse Apt. in Elberta and it was wonderful. The property is large, spacious and comfortably housed our family of 4. Love all the big windows and the deck overlooking the bay. All amenities including plenty of towels, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella provided. Plenty of games available for rainy days. No TV- a huge plus in my opinion! The location in Elberta is great, with the Cabbage Shed restaurant right across, the Furnace Street distillery down the road (best wood fired pizza on site from a food truck, Hearth and Hops) and all the fun of Frankfort right around the bay. We loved the Elberta beach, it is less crowded than Frankfort. Lots to do in this area. If you are looking for a short hike to another pristine Lake Michigan beach, check out Green Point Dunes. Storm cloud brewery in Frankfort and Five shores brewing in Beulah are great. Will definitely be back. "

Hilltop Home is a gem in Frankfort, MI. It is a loft space with gorgeous views and lots of room. A little bit of style and modern elements. Plus, perfectly located in walking distance to downtown Frankfort to restaurants, shops, and the beach:)
The space
The space is actually a guest house attached to a garage. It is 1650 square feet so lots of room. It is three different levels with the bedrooms and bathrooms on the top and bottom floors. What makes Big Red so special, is the fact that you can be within walking distance to downtown but the home sits just slightly out of town upon a hill where you get gorgeous views. There isn't a day that goes by when you don't see a bunny or deer snacking on the crab apple tree directly behind the home. It truly is the best of both worlds - convenience with ample amount of room and the feeling of quiet - perfect for relaxation.
Guest access
Guests are designated one parking spot in the driveway in front of the home. It is conveniently steps to the front door.

- "We had a very comfortable stay on the Hilltop! The space is very generous and beds comfortable. For us it was a pleasant walk to the beach and around town with a stroller. We liked being able to book by the night and not for a whole week!!" - "Very nice quiet location in Frankfort. We enjoyed watching the deer and bunnies up close. The space was vefy clean and spacious. The owners were very responsive to any questions as well." - "It was a wonderful place to stay in Frankfort. Comfortable beds, ample space and beautiful views."

Guest access:
You'll have access to the entire property except for the upstairs & inside of garage.

Our house was built in 1926, and while we've done a lot to make it feel homey, comfortable, and beautiful, it still retains some of its original quirks.

As you explore the house, you may notice that the floors and doors can be a bit squeaky, adding a touch of nostalgia to your stay. The bathroom, while functional, is on the smaller side. Several of the windows in the sunroom and porch are painted shut, but we have provided additional options such as add-in screens or dowels to prop open the ones that are accessible. Additionally, fans are available in each bedroom to ensure your comfort on warmer days.

The washer and dryer are located in our semi-unfinished Michigan basement. Please keep in mind that the stairs leading to the basement are typical of older homes, so we kindly advise using them with a little extra caution.

While our home has its imperfections, we believe they contribute to its unique charm. We hope you appreciate the character and history it brings, and that you have a wonderful time experiencing its timeless appeal.

- "My family and I loved everything about our stay here: the tasteful decor, the walkability to trails and restaurants, and the overall peacefulness. We had a great time visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes and this was a perfect stop on our way from Chicago to Mackinac Island. We will definitely be back! " - "Adorable cottage with lovely front porch to enjoy your nespresso in the morning and evening!" - "The property is gorgeous and the owners were very communicative and friendly. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the beds feel as comfortable as they look in the pictures, which they don't currently. But regardless, I'd definitely recommend this home to a friend and I may well book it again at some future date."

- "wonderful rustic house in a great location" - "The location is fantastic! If you are not familiar with the Congregational Summer Assembly (CSA), it is an association of cottages established in 1918. There is a common activity building, tennis/pickleball courts, a private beach area on Crystal Lake, private beach access to Lake MI, and daily activities (tennis, swim lessons, crafts, etc.). The cottage is within walking distance of both Lake MI and Crystal Lake, which makes for the ultimate MI lake vacation. It is a 30-minute drive to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, which is filled with hikes with amazing views of Lake Michigan from high on the bluffs. The cottage is rustic (e.g., no drywall in the place), but was very clean. If you are looking for luxurious or modern accommodations, you might want to look elsewhere, but this suited my family just fine. The beds were comfortable. If you are into cooking, it may be helpful to know that the kitchen is quite small with a diet-sized refrigerator and skinny stove. However, there is a grill! This wasn’t mentioned in the listing, so we were delighted to find one. There a plenty of places to sit in the cottage, but the furniture could use a little updating. The house provided plenty of linens, but you will need to have other household supplies upon arrival—soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags (there were no “starter supplies”). Again, if you are looking for a fantastic location and a clean (but basic) cottage, we highly recommend this place!"
