The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to craft delicious meals, from the stove and oven to the lobster pot and coffee grinder. Sip your morning brew at the kitchen island or enjoy meals together at the dining table. With 3.5 bathrooms, air conditioning, and plush linens, you'll find all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Venture outside to the fire pit and outdoor play area, or relax on the beach loungers with a good book. Whether you're seeking lakeside tranquility or family fun, this vacation home has it all.

Great location for our big family getaway! Close to Elberta Beach, Frankfort Beach, Crystal Lake Beach, Platte River, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and more. This home was large enough to accommodate our large, multi-generational family with no lack of space. Great fire pit and hanging chairs for nightly campfires. The hot tub was also a big hit! 3 beds on the top level and two on the bottom. A second living room & small kitchen area made it convenient for extra food and drinks. Downtown Frankfort is buzzing with many restaurants and shops. Hosts were pleasant and very responsive! We will certainly come back again.

Beautiful clean house

It’s a new house. Very well maintained. The host is still trying to figure out few things to get the process streamlined. But she did amazing job to accommodate us. House is clean- centrally located. Definitely give it a try to Crystal lake Gateway properties on their website.

Great Stay!

The house was wonderful and allowed plenty of room for the entire family. We enjoyed the back yard/patio area and played our corn hole game every evening. Even though there were many things wrong/missing/misled, I would give a 5 star rating. The description on VRBO is not 100% accurate. There is no hot tub, no spa tub or children's playground. The stair gate was still in the box and not attached to the wall, so we had to go buy a baby gate to protect our one year old from falling down the stairs. We had to call to request the baby high chair which was brought the next day. And although I didn't expect it, there was no "Breakfast included". Several things in the house were unfinished (master bathroom door wouldn't slide, no shelves for shampoo so it had to sit on the floor, shelves/decor hung on wall with thumbtacks or finishing nails which doesn't hold, and no dressers/drawers to put your clothes/bags). But overall, it was a wonderful home that just needs some finishing touches. The owner was hospitable and communicated quickly. The location close to Frankfort was lovely. Great town, wonderful shops, fantastic restaurants, and close to the beach. I would certainly visit again!!

Wonderful retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at this lovely property. Both the house and the property were wonderful. One of my favorite features was the “on demand” hot water. We were all able to shower when returning from the beach without anyone having a cold shower. We also thoroughly enjoyed the covered wrap around porch both in the morning and in the evening. We would gladly return to this property for future trips.

Amazing place to stay!! Will come back

Everything was perfect! We are definitely planning on coming back and staying longer next year. Plenty of room, great location to the Lakes, shops and restaurants. The owner did an amazing job with this place. It's beautiful and cozy. We had a wonderful time here. The owner was easy to communicate with and gave us tips and information on what to do around here and being so gracious with any questions we had. We absolutely look forward to coming back again.
