We had a great time and loved being right on the lake. Our children could easily play in the water without us stressing about boats or it getting too deep too quickly (our dog equally loved playing fetch in the water). The neighbors and homeowner were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The house is in a great location, tucked away from m-22 and a perfect jumping off point for all the things we love to do in the area (Frankfort, trails, Lake Michigan), although we did enjoy being at the house so much we rarely left. Tips to future renters: as stated in the agreement, bring your own sheets and towels (except kitchen), bring anything you’d want to cook with or store food in, extra tp and pt is recommended. I’d also highly recommend water shoes due to zebra muscles. There are fans for added comfort in each room and AC in one of the rooms, all of which kept the whole place comfortable. Pick up wood from deadstream road. For those unfamiliar with the area, Frankfort is a charming downtown, where the platte river meets Lake Michigan is our favorite place to go for a beach day (no dogs), and is right around the corner, benzonia has a nice grocery store and a super yummy little medd lunch spot (the eatery) or Beulah’s brewery. If you travel north check out Glen arbor, if you go south check out the marsh in Arcadia and bowens creek for coffee and crepes or ketch 22 for lunch. We’d definitely come back and have found yet another lake to love in the area.

Beautiful Platte Lake waterfront cottage. Sit on the patio or in the living room and watch the lake while listening to birdsong, gentle waves and the wind in the trees. We had a fire in the outdoor fireplace and looked at the stars. House was spotless and had all the kitchenware one needs to prepare meals. Beds were comfortable. Nice gas fireplace inside to take the chill out of the air. Plenty of outlets for charging phones, watches or other electronics. Great property and Susan was very responsive to questions.

Nice time, beautiful lake, cozy home, property owner responsive to needs. Kitchen with plenty of dishes, kitchenware, nothing like blenders or slow cookers. Nice to have trash bags and leftover saran wrap, napkins but nothing else like spices and oils. House was clean but needs a deep clean. Very musty smelling even when opening silverware drawer. Nice shower. Couple of things could be improved/changed is bringing your own sheets and towels. For the amount we paid this should of been included. We did appreciate the two kitchen towels. I have never stayed at a cottage in MI where we had to bring these items but I understand it is easier not to have to do laundry. Although the service fees where over $600.

We just love coming to this quaint little cottage on Platte Lake. It’s clean, cozy, and a reasonable drive to Frankfort, Empire, and Glen Arbor. While the home does have air condition, the shade of the maples and cedar trees allow a cool breeze to move through the home on a hot day. The kids spent hours in the lake and the water was warm enough to swim every day. Special thanks to Susan for sharing this gem of a place with us again for our summer 2023 vacation!

Small, well loved and used cabin. Inside- clean and fairly well furnished. Furniture and appliances dated, gas fireplace non functional. Water heater needed repair while we were there. Owner took care of problem Immediately. West side of lake inundated with black flies 9/17-24) - made lakeside fun buggy. Sunrises were spectacular.

Lakefront cottage in a small, quiet neighborhood. Sandy bottom and shallow for quite a ways, which is great for small children. You’re close to so many things to do in this beautiful part of Michigan. Our 11 year old grandson was never bored. No Internet, but you can tap into your phone’s hotspot for excellent reception. If you plan to cook, all utensils are stocked, but you’ll need to bring your own spices, oil, etc. . Don’t forget to bring beach towels.
