White Birch - Riverfront and Newly-Remodeled! Great Location!
White Birch is a beautifully-remodeled 3-bedroom 2-bath ranch-style home on the Betsie River as it winds into Elberta, Michigan, just across the bay from Frankfort.
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.
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:
Our local property manager lives in the area and is available to address any issues as needed.
NEIGHBORHOOD:

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.
