White Birch - Riverfront and Newly-Remodeled! Great Location!

The home is located in a private setting, backing up to the Betsie River. Shops and restaurants in Frankfort are just a short bike ride or 5 minute drive away.

This home is a lovely hub for your Michigan adventures, whether you plan to relax at home, explore outside, or enjoy strolling bars, restaurants, and ice cream parlors.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

The home is located in a private setting, backing up to the Betsie River natural area. Shops and restaurants in the adorable town of Frankfort are just a short bike ride or 5 minute drive away.

Enjoy a hike directly from the front door of the house to Elberta Dunes South Natural Area, with beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Spend time at Elberta Beach or Frankfort Beach on Lake Michigan, or venture to nearby Crystal Lake, Arcadia Dunes, or Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Enjoy hiking or biking the Betsie Valley Trail, a 22 mile path connecting nearby nature areas and towns. You’ll also find canoeing, fishing, and kayaking in the area.

You might also consider nearby Crystal Mountain Resort – a ski and spa resort with multi-season activities, located 20 minutes away in Thompsonville.
