Steps To The Beach & 2 Blocks To Downtown Frankfort - Sleeps 6-8
About this condo rental
"The Birdhouse" (Guest Suite above the garage) has 1 bedroom (King bed ) and a spiral staircase leading up to a large sleeping loft (3 double beds). Full kitchen, dining room, living room, 1 bathroom. Very flexible ... works great for a couple or a small family! Equipped with Refrigerator, electric stove, Microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, cable TV & wireless internet, TV/DVD/CD player, Board games and cards. Small private porch with 2 chairs/table. Shared use of a large entertainment patio, and gas grill. "The Birdhouse" is unlike any other vacation rental you will find. It is artsy, charming, fun and frivolous. Kids love it – who wouldn’t love a spiral staircase, a sleeping loft, original art pieces, a cookie jar & lunchbox collection, resident mermaid, and magnetic letters on a vintage refrigerator door hung on the wall? Parents will love their private bedroom to relax in, a tidy kitchen to cook breakfast in, and the outdoor grill for dogs and burgers. Best of all, the beach is steps away, and downtown Frankfort is just a short stroll. Older kids can “run free” exploring the downtown, while young ones head to the beach with Mom and Dad. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach, to enjoy the water, sand & sunsets, or to downtown Frankfort for the movie theater, ice cream parlors, upscale restaurants, and shopping. Take a 15 minute drive to the "Cherry Bowl" drive-in theater with the kids and don't forget to stop at the "Cherry Hut" restaurant for their delicious cherry pie! The day is complete when you’ve returned to the beach for the sunset, or possibly even later to gaze at the Milky Way or watch for shooting stars. But the best part of all ... memories that will last a lifetime!

We had such a wonderful time staying in the Birdhouse. It's super cozy and cute, just like the pictures. It was very clean and well appointed for our family of 4. There are so many thoughtful details like beach chairs and floats. The garage is so well organized and labeled for items for guest use. The patio space is beautiful and we really enjoyed the weber grills. Thank you for a great stay. We have been to Frankfort many times and this was our favorite place to stay. The proximity to the beach and town are unmatched!

We had a delightful stay in The Birdhouse. It's very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen, and the owners have thoughtfully ensured that you'll have everything you need for your visit. Lake Michigan is just down the street, so it was an easy walk to the beach for some nighttime stargazing. Definitely hoping to return.

This property was perfect for my family full of teens. Super close to the beach, cafes, restaurants and shops. The kids could explore on their own. We also had a lot of fun on the bike path at the end of our road. Played beach volleyball and had fun walking the pier. Perfect summer getaway! We will be back in the future! *The hosts have thought of everything! We had to repair a bike and we even found tools! Campfire in the evenings, beach chairs and first aid kits! Amazing hosts!

The Birdhouse is the perfect gem in Frankfort, considering its proximity to both downtown and to the beach.
The property is adorable, with fun touches around and plenty of games to play. They had WiFi, two TVs, and some books.
We found the kitchen well stocked (drip coffee pot, pots/pans, dishes, silverware, etc). Dishwasher detergent and dish soap was included, as well as enough paper products for our family of 3. Washer and dryer available in the garage was a nice touch. There were plenty of towels for the three of us.
The master bed was very comfortable, probably the most comfortable of any VRBO bed in recollection! Although there were only 3 of us we could have easily accommodated more guests due to the upstairs area.
The owners were kind and communicative. We will be back!

Our accommodating, warm and friendly hosts made us feel at home even before we arrived. We loved the space, where we could enjoy many charming nooks to relax and share one another’s company, even with our teen! She loved her private loft! We played games and watched movies - generously supplied by the hosts. It was whimsical and clean and full of charm! The house is nestled among other beautiful homes on a quiet street, just a 5 minute walk to a STUNNING beach and the picturesque town filled with with coffee shops and other fun things to explore. Thank you for the perfect home for some much-needed time away together! We hope to be back.

This was a nice place to stay while hitting the slopes at Crystal Mountain. It worked perfect for our family of five. The games and cozy sitting areas were nice.

Just right
The birdhouse was just as we expected with just enough room for our family to stay as a “home base” when we weren’t out skiing at Crystal Mountain and hiking and sledding at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Our stay was cozy with the kids staying up in the loft area which they loved.
Currently, with COVID restrictions, in-person dining at restaurants is not allowed so most restaurants are temporarily closed until those restrictions are lifted leaving very few carryout options. We found great pizza at Papanos in Frankfort and Arni’s in Glen Arbor.

Fantastic stay in the birdhouse
The property location is central to downtown and the beach. It is the perfect amount of space for our family of three. The owner was communicative and helpful before we arrived. The only complaint is the cleanliness of the house. The coffee pot had coffee and grounds from the previous person, the kitchen was noticeably dirty including the pans which had not been cleaned at all. We left the place in better shape than when we arrived because I had to clean food off the walls, clean all the dishes, and wipe the stove and cabinets. We would stay again but I hope the company hired to clean does a better job in the future.
