About this house rental

The Restoration Cottage is a cute little cottage near downtown Frankfort just 7 blocks from Lake Michigan and Frankfort Beach. It features a newly expanded outdoor deck with new year-round private hot tub / spa, outdoor gas grill, outdoor dining, bonfire ring, and fully-fenced in backyard. It's also dog-friendly! The location and layout makes for a great romantic getaway destination for couples or a cozy home away from home for individuals or small families.

INTERACTION:

Our local property manager lives nearby and is available to address any issues that may occur.

NEIGHBORHOOD:

The cottage is located in the downtown residential portion of Frankfort. It is basically right in the heart of town! It's just one block from Main Street and downtown Frankfort, which has a vibrant and growing array of restaurants, cafes, shops, banks, a couple gas stations, a post office, a grocery store, a microbrewery, and a historic theater. It is also just 7 blocks (about 0.6 miles) from Lake Michigan, beautiful Frankfort Beach, and Frankfort's famous historic pier and lighthouse. The cottage is also only about a 15-minute drive from the start of the incredible Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore!

ACCESS:

The second floor is locked off for further renovation work and is not included with the rental. Similarly, there is a 4-season breakfast room off the kitchen that has not been renovated and is currently just used as storage space. The basement is locked off and is not for use by guests.

THE SPACE:

The home has been partially renovated since we purchased it in November, 2013. Inside, the kitchen and bathroom been recently updated, the hardwood floors have been refinished throughout, and the interior has been recently painted. The interior has a fun, colorful, and beachy theme throughout the house.

Outside, the deck has been expanded and painted, a new hot tub / spa was added, the entire backyard was landscaped and fully fenced-in, and the outdoor bonfire ring was added. Note that all of the outdoor amenities (including the hot tub) are available for use all year-round!

TRANSIT:

It is suggested that guests have their own means of transportation.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1) The property is quite close to the road (7th Street, which is part of M22 as it goes through Frankfort). There is a fair amount of traffic and road noise, particularly due to fairly high traffic in the summer and snowplows in the winter. If you are sensitive to road noise, this might not be a good fit.

2) There is an abandoned home to the west of the property. There are no safety concerns associated with this, but it does look quite ugly. This shouldn't be a big issue, but we do want to have people aware of this.

3) The hot tub is available for use year-round and is great in the winter!

4) The home has a window A/C unit in the bedroom during the summer. Note that it does not have central air conditioning and that the bedroom is the only room that has an A/C unit.

5) The home is dog-friendly and up to 2 dogs are allowed. Pets other than dogs are not permitted. If bringing 1 or 2 dogs, please include them on the reservation so that the pet fee is properly applied.

6) This property means a great deal to our family. The name "Restoration Cottage" not only refers to the physical restoration of the property that we have pursued, but it also refers to the restoration of our family that took place when we came back together as a family of four in October, 2017, after having been separated for 4 years and 8 months. It was a great healing environment for our family! We then moved to a larger home in August, 2019, but this home will always have great memories for us and we hope and pray that it helps to bless and restore other relationships as well! :-)

The location of this property was great for us. It was a quick walk to downtown and the marina where our boat was in a slip. The house had everything we needed, as far as dishes, towels, etc. We felt like it could have been cleaner. An example is the ceiling fans had about a quarter inch of dust on them, so I would say it needs a deep clean more often. The streets, houses, in the blocks to the west are beautiful, however, you can't see those. There are no "views" from the house unless you would want to look at the abandoned businesses across the street or the couple of houses that are in deep need of repair. In general, it is an older house that wasn't maintained and they are slowly fixing it up so there are some "fresher" areas, but most just got some new paint. Nothing has been done to the exterior so it looks worse from the outside than the inside. All in all, it worked, but just know that it is exactly like the description said, a work in progress.

My husband, blue heeler, and I had a great time at this house in Frankfort, MI. The location was great. It is on a main highway but it’s a very small 2-lane Hwy and is not constant traffic. We enjoyed eating our meals on the back deck at the picnic table. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. It did get hot enough that it was uncomfortable in the house a few days. Outside may have been 65 at night but inside it was 78-79. Fans helped but it was still uncomfortable. It would have helped tremendously to have had screens in the windows. The breeze was wonderful and would have felt very nice. Only the bathroom window had a screen. The location in Frankfort was great. I was able to walk to most all the stores on the main road and the smaller lake. We did drive a very short distance to the beach on Lake Michigan, which is dog friendly. It is “the thing” to go to the Lake Michigan beach to watch the sunset. We had zero issues with neighbors or anyone else in the area. We would come back to this exact location is the temps are under 50.

This property was a fantastic find! It is cozy, and close to everything in Frankfort. It had everythjng we needed for our stay. It had the convenience of being at home, but only an 11-minute walk to the lake. I highly recommend the property, and would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a wonderful week! Tony Z.

We enjoyed our stay here. Big enough for us and two dogs. All our initial hiccups answered by property manager right away and thank you on being so prompt helping us. We worked on our property during the day and was nice to come home to hot tub. Then enjoyed dinner at several places and movies at night with our fur babies. Great for us and watching the sunsets almost every night didn't hurt either.

A cute place to spend a few days; only complaint was that the back yard was littered quite a bit with cigarette butts and dog bathroom messes.

My husband and I stayed here for our eighth anniversary. We had such a wonderful stay. It was very close to the beach for a nice walk, store for food, a nice little cafe in walking distance (Crescent bakery & cafe) that we went to check out. The hot chocolate and donuts were delicious! The hot tub was close to the back porch so it wasn’t to chilly in and out. However lovely our stay was I have to point out the funniest thing! The bedroom bed was to small for my husband to lay in. He’s quite tall and we have a California King so his feet won’t touch the bed frame. He lagged so hard when he laid in it! Thank you for an amazing quite getaway just like we wanted.

We loved our trip up to Frankfort and staying at this cute old house. It was perfect for my husband and I and our two dogs! It was nice being walking distance to downtown! We also enjoyed the hot tub after spending a couple hours on the hiking trails and beaches in December. We will absolutely be back soon!

This property was perfect for a quick weekend winter wonderland getaway. So close to Crystal Mtn ski resort and the beach. Great breakfast places within walking distance. The hot tub under the snowfall was wonderful.

Beautifully set up home. Nice and clean. Perfect for an anniversary get away but easily could be used for a week of family fun. Wonderful and fun art work. The house felt bigger than what I expected from the photos. The hot tub was incredible, we definitely were able to relax. Thank you Restoration Cottage!

The house is close to downtown. There is noise from loud vehicles that are using M22. However it’s one or two vehicles that don’t have proper mufflers on their exhaust. No fault of the place. We enjoyed the hot tub.

Cute little cottage that was walking to distance to downtown/beach area. Everything was as described in the listing. We found the hot tub to be nice and clean. The only negative that I can say is that it had not been cleaned yet when we checked in, due to some sort miscommunication with cleaner, I believe. It was left in good condition by the previous guests, but obviously we needed bedding, clean towels, etc. We left and and walked around while we waited for it to be cleaned, so we didn't actually get in until around 5:30 pm. It was a bit frustrating, but given the circumstances, it was handled promptly.

Ok I am not a complainer by no means and we have been very happy with this site in the past but this one needs a wake up call! First of all the home is sweet but the road traffic is brutal! Which you can not open the windows because of that plus no screens to do that and the windows have not been washed in who knows when! So the back slider is your air which was constantly falling off the track and hubby had to put it up se real times! Pair off dirty socks on the deck under the two feet of leaves we had to sweep off to sit at table. We opened the hot tub ready to hop in and there were leaves in that the filter full of hair and a ring around the whole thing on top of that a water bottle top floating in it from the last people there clearly not cleaned after them. So we cleaned the scum and soap ring ph tested it but a constant foam all the while we were there never went away after constantly straining it out! Showered after each time we visited it! The power lines were hanging over the whole back yard and over hot tub you could reach up and touch them very sketchy crap there. Shower door soap scum, for a new restored home it was not up to standards and not to sure it’s safe!! The bedroom sits on the road which we read there was noice from traffic but wow it’s sit at a intersection where you hear everyone one stop and start back up again constantly. We finally had to blow up the blow up bed and crash Kuhn the living room with tv on for noise filter, running out of room, much mo
