So convenient

We know Frankfort very well having been born there and visiting our many relatives over the years. Really nice back yard with the fire pit. Close to everything. Loved the remodel on the kitchen but could have used a few more gadgets, but I cook all the time , so For most people probably fine. Thank you so much

Quick Color Tour

Good time as usual. Pleasant stay. A bit noisier than we would have liked due to the main road and proximity of the neighboring house on the master bedroom side of the house. Price is reasonable. Don’t care for the security deposit method/refund timing. But would recommend based on convenience.

Wonderful family stay

My wife and I stayed for a week with two of our kids, 15 and 6. Very comfortable accommodations, climate control was perfect, the back yard was very nice, and the kitchen was well stocked. The linens were very clean, the only thing lacking from the entire stay was a dish towel. I only mention that to highlight how little there was to criticize. It’s a short walk to everywhere you’d want to go, we hardly used the car for our entire trip. I would highly recommend.

Girls fall get together

House had a terrible smell, musty. Washed the food off the kitchen light over the sink. Blankets were smelly. Master bath shower door falling off. Master bath vanity door not attached. Magnet strips over the heat vents? Blinds in slider kept falling off.

Gwen’s Place is great!

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Gwen’s place in August. The home was clean and comfortable, had plenty of space, the yard was great and we enjoyed the fire pit many days and evenings. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance to many downtown shops and restaurants. A bit longer of a walk led to the beach. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, and there was enough space for all 6 of us to sit together for a meal. We will definitely consider staying again when in the area!

Perfect place to stay!

The house is so cute and very clean. It was perfect for our family of 7. Convenient enough the kids (21-12) were able to walk to the beach and the downtown shopping area. Everything we needed to fix our own meals, besides the food, was right there for us. Great kitchen table for family game nights. Definitely would recommend to stay here.

Great Adventure base

Gwen’s place is so close to all Frankfort has to offer and has plenty of other adventures within 15-30 minutes drive. My friends and I stayed for an extended Crystal Mountain ski weekend and it was a great to have such a comfortable and spacious spot to come back to after a long day on the slopes.

Girls weekend for Sleeping Bear 5k

We booked this house because it was close to Empire where the Sleeping Bear 5k was located. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, lots of towels, nice deck and chairs, and the location was great. The drive way was small but there was lots of great parking on the road in front of the house! We’d definitely stay here again.
