Great location and very roomy.

The location on Platte Lake is wonderful. Easy access to nearby towns and activities. The layout of the house is great! Four large bedrooms on second level, and a nice size bedroom with bath on main floor. The kitchen is well stocked with needed utensils, dishes, pots and pans. The owner is very accessible and answered questions in a timely manner. The outside of the house desperately needs to be cleaned and freshened up. It is dirty and dreary. The inside needs a deep cleaning with lots of attention to detail. The two sofas in the family room should be replaced. Everyone in our group mentioned this. Guests who are older cannot easily sit on these two pieces of furniture because there is no support, and it is difficult to get up from them. We did not use the charcoal grill since it was quite dirty. With some TLC inside and outside of this home, it would be a really nice cottage.

Overall the place was good. Very close to dunes and lots of activities you can do. Would stay there again

We visited this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren just last week (June 2023). I do believe we've found our "forever" vacation home! The location cannot be beat. If you want to shop, it's close by at any of the surrounding towns. We especially love visiting Frankfort, Glen Arbor and Leland. If you want to relax, walk out the back door and enjoy the huge, shaded deck or lounge on the deck by the water. Our grandchildren, ages six months to age 7, loved the water so, so much. It was a bit cool during our week but we were prepared and the kids still enjoyed the water, our kayaks, the evening bon fires, beautiful sunsets...I could go on and on. The home is just minutes from Peterson Beach which feels like your own personal beach with amazing views. Sleeping Bear Dunes, go to Sleeping Bear Point for spectacular first views. The Empire Bluff hike is also beautiful and not very long if you are looking for hikes for little ones. BoonDocks in Glen Arbor has great food as does Dinghy's in Frankfort. We literally ordered food from the Trading Post which is .2 miles away and walked to pick up our dinners every night. The owner, Walter, was so easy to work with and everything was just as described. Plenty of parking too as we had four vehicles and a boat trailer. Overall, we had 8 adults and 4 little ones. If you have the opportunity, whether you are seasoned visitor or someone looking for a new family adventure, book this home.

Understanding a lake house you always have spiders and ants. He did have plenty of traps but the house needed a vacuum when we arrived. Dead ants and spiders on living room /kitchen floor. The outside of the house needed to be power sprayed to remove all the webs and tons of tree debris on deck. There was a broom so we swept the deck and brushed the webs/spiders off the house. Our little one were freaked by the spiders. Beds were clean. Bathroom had a few bugs and webs in the upper corners of the walls. But mainly clean. Again my parents lived on water for years and we all understand the “bugs” that come with that. The views of the water are very nice and we used the fire pit nightly. Yes we would stay again, Walter was always friendly to talk with.

Comfortable stay. The setting is lovely on Platte Lake. BYO sheets and towels

I would definitely stay again.

We loved the house and lake view. Inside or outside of the house was not very clean and a few lights in the house did not work.
