2 Bedroom House in Frankfort

The Hilltop Retreat is a beautiful chalet set on top of a large hill just outside of Frankfort. The home features a spectacular view for miles from the large deck, living room, and dining area. In addition to 2 bedrooms, there is an upstairs loft, an office area, and a finished basement. The home also features satellite Wi-Fi, a main floor washer and dryer, newly updated kitchen, and a new mini-split A/C unit in the living room!

NEIGHBORHOOD:
The property is in a rural hilly area just south of the cute little Lake Michigan beach towns of Frankfort and Elberta.
The property is only about an 8-minute drive from downtown Frankfort, which is larger than Elberta and has a very charming downtown area with a lovely collection of cafes, restaurants, shops, a vintage movie theater (the Garden Theater), and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a very popular public beach (Frankfort Beach) on Lake Michigan and a pier that goes out to a large, famous, and historic lighthouse. It's always fun to walk the pier out to the lighthouse! Downtown Frankfort is less than a 5-minute drive from the property.
Just outside of Elberta and Frankfort, there are also a great many things to see and do. The start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is just a 20-minute drive from the property to the north. Sleeping Bear Dunes features a incredible collection of hiking trails, biking trails, scenic lookouts on Lake Michigan, and kayaking or tubing down the Platte River through the park and out to Lake Michigan.
Crystal Lake, Point Betsie Lighthouse on Lake Michigan, Crystal Mountain Resort, Arcadia Dunes Golf Course, and the cute beach towns of Arcadia, Beulah, and Empire are all also less than 30 minutes from the house. If you are looking for more excitement and culture, downtown Traverse City, which is the gem of northern Michigan for restaurants, nightlife, and shopping, is only about a 1-hour drive from the house.
THE SPACE:
The property has Wi-Fi, satellite television, a gas fireplace, an outdoor propane grill, mini-split A/C unit in the living room, and a washer and dryer. The kitchen was also recently updated in 2022 with new stainless-steel appliances.
Outside, there is also an outdoor bonfire ring. Being on top of a hill and facing west, the property has great sunset views! The natural beauty, quiet, and serenity provide for a wonderful northern Michigan getaway for couples or families!

Summary: Absolutely Beautiful view from the deck. Very nice and cozy. There was an issue with ants in the kitchen when we got there. Didn't spoil our time, just annoying. Flies just from it being closed and didn't seem like anyone was there in a while Im used to living up north and not a big deal but should be noted for others renting in the future.

Summary: Our first impression of the house sitting on top of the hill all by itself with the winding driveway leading to it was breathtaking! Once we got to the top and saw the view we were just blown away. Spectacular! The house itself is sparsely decorated but very clean and functional. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well while we were there. We only had 3 issues with the house. We were supposed to be a party of 4. The vrbo pictures showed 2 bedrooms on the main level, a bed in the loft area and a bedroom downstairs. When we walked into the house we realized the 1st bedroom with the piano in it did not have a bed as pictured in the ad. There was only a recliner. Thankfully we ended up being just 3 of us because the only other option would have been a very uncomfortable platform bed in the living area downstairs. We also discovered that the lights in the kitchen didn't work. We figured a breaker had been tripped. When the property manager was called, she did not know where the breaker box was and just suggested it was probably burnt out light bulbs and told us we could take one out and call her back with the type of bulb we needed. We tested the fixture with a bulb we knew was working and the light did not come on. Instead of calling the manager back we decided to just live with the dark kitchen since the light under the microwave was working. Lastly the downstairs bathroom needs a brighter light. Other than that we loved our stay! We're hoping to be back next year!

Summary: The Hilltop Retreat was a most comfortable home with lots of room. We were a group of seniors who quite enjoyed our time in Frankfort, the retreat was very close to the Betsie River, small lakes and Lake Michigan, church, and restaurants.

Summary: This is a very nice house with a beautiful view. We visited with kids and they had a great time. There is a fireplace and a beautiful terrace for viewing sunsets. There is a projector in the basement. The internet was fast enough for us to stream Netflix on some evenings.
