GUEST INTERACTION:

We have a local property manager that lives in the area and is available to answer any questions that you might have and/or address any issues.
NEIGHBORHOOD:

The home is in a great location just a short 5 to 10 minute walk from downtown Frankfort, which features a growing and thriving array of fun restaurants, cafes, shops, a historic movie theater (the Garden Theater), and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Downtown Frankfort also has a great family-friendly beach on Lake Michigan (the north end of which is dog-friendly) and a very popular pier on which you can walk out to the famous Frankfort Lighthouse. The entire town is very family-friendly and pet-friendly and you see many people taking their dogs for walks along charming Main Street. Frankfort also has a large and very popular farmers market right on Main Street on Saturdays during the summer and fall.

The chalet is also right next door to A&W, which is a very fun, popular, and family-friendly restaurant that is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (We particularly recommend the A&W root beer floats in the traditional frosted mugs! ;-)

There are also a number of great attractions in the area, which are less than 30 minutes away! These include the following:

* Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
* Crystal Lake
* Point Betsie Lighthouse
* Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course
* Crystal Mountain Resort (for skiing and golf)
* the nearby beach towns of Onekama, Arcadia, Elberta, Beulah, and Empire

Furthermore, the home is just about a 1-hour drive from downtown Traverse City, which is the heart of northern Michigan tourism and features a vast array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have access to the entire property, except for an owners' closet, which is locked off.
THE SPACE:

The home has a very cute traditional style with lots of wood, charm, and character!

Home Layout:

The front of the house is at the south end of the property and faces the east end of Main Street in Frankfort. Thus, the large deck is in front of the house. The main entrance to the house is from the sliding glass doors to the deck.

Walking into the front of the house from the large deck, guests enter the living room. The kitchen, dining area, and second bedroom are in the middle of the house on the first floor. At the back (north end) of the house is a large bedroom that has its own private en suite bathroom. It also has its own exterior entrance and a small deck just outside the entrance. Parking for the home is in back of the house near the back bedroom and back deck. (Thus, parking is at the opposite end of the main entrance.)

The second floor of the house is a large loft area that includes additional sleeping space. There are stairs leading up to the loft at both ends of the house. Note that only one of the two entrances to the upstairs loft area has a private door.
