Summary: This cottage belonged to my great uncle and then his sons . spent alot of time there with my Grandpa. The cottage was just as I remembered it, with a remodeled bathroom. The creek has eroded the bank behind the cottage so it is different from when we would get into the creek. We saw two huge snapping turtles in the creek one evening. Nice stay

Summary: We had the most wonderful weekend at this charming cabin in the woods. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, it was exactly what our family of four needed to relax and reconnect. The sound of the nearby creek added the perfect natural soundtrack, and we spent hours just soaking in the quiet beauty of the surroundings.The cabin itself was spotless—truly one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed. Everything felt fresh and well cared for, which made settling in so easy. It had all the comforts we needed, while still feeling like a true escape from the hustle of daily life.Whether we were sitting by the creek or simply unwinding, this cabin gave us the perfect backdrop for a memorable family weekend. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a serene retreat in nature.

Summary: It is an older cottage with a lot of character. Listening to the running river was so tranquil and therapeutic, it was a great way to decompress.Highly recommend.
Peter T. Apr 18, 2025 02:27:22 AM
Summary: Super clean, very responsive host. 15' to the stream, saw an owl and a fox.
Denise L. Aug 27, 2024 08:16:37 PM
Summary: The home is just as advertised. It’s a rustic cottage simple amenities. The location is wonderful. It sits along a babbling creek, and Is a short walk to lower Herring Lake where you can enjoy pretty sunsets. It’s a quiet, safe location, but only a short drive from Elberta or Frankfort.

Summary: 5 adult sisters and our mom stayed for a fun weekend in Frankfort. This cabin appears tiny at first but with the back sleeping porch and the front dining porch, it was plenty of space for 6 adults. Fantastic location with a pretty stream/brook in the backyard. 5 minutes from downtown Frankfort and 10 minutes from Arcadia. Beautiful beaches nearby, and everyone who looked for a petoskey stone found 1 or more.
Rachel K. Jul 12, 2023 11:01:32 AM
Summary: It was great. My kids loved sleeping on the porch, and my husband loved kayaking to the Lake Michigan inlet.
Renee L. Oct 26, 2021 11:00:20 AM
Summary: We really loved sleeping on the porch with the door open and listening to the river. We got spooked a couple times when a critter decided that a late night swim sounded nice LOL! We recommend trying Papanos Pizza as well!!
Linda Oct 18, 2021 08:34:45 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay at this serene little cottage a few steps to beautiful Lower Herring Lake lake and right on a beautiful little stream. Everything we needed was provided, including wood for a fire in the fire pit. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway.
