We have vacationed here over most of the past 13 years. Unfortunately price and availability under new management make it nearly impossible to rent Saturday to Saturday. View is blocked by many trees, furniture and kitchenware is old. Doesn’t compare price wise with other homes that are more up to date with the same or better amenities. On the upside, house was considerably cleaner than in recent years. Most rugs and blinds were updated. We have many good memories of nipissing.

Ideal location – just steps down to the beach and a couple blocks from Main St! Loved watching the sunset, walking to the Cool Spot for ice cream after dinner, playing some of the many board games available, cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, etc etc. Such a spacious, bright home, perfect for a large group. It was super clean too. Can't wait to come back!

This home was in a wonderful location. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the incredible view. We also enjoyed seeing wildlife such as a doe and fawn outside a few different times. The home was well-stocked with dishes, cooking supplies, games, etc.The bonus toilet room in the basement was good to have in addition to the 3 full bathrooms.

The location of the house and access to the beach was great. The cleanliness of the house wasn't great, mainly the many, many stains on the carpets throughout the house. Not sure if these were pet accident stains but there were many including on the stairs. It looked like the carpets weren't cleaned for quite awhile, including chair cushions. The lower level entrance and basement were very musty and mildew smelling which also caused the air quality throughout the house to be poor when first arriving. It took several hours to air out the 1st level and upstairs to make it more tolerable, but the musty air was always present coming from the lowest levels. If those items were fixed, then I would stay again. If not, then I would look elsewhere even though the location was great.

Location is fantastic relative to beach and town and view and natural light in main room is as shown in pics. Having 4 bedrooms Kitchen and bathrooms improved up to VRBO norms HOWEVER . . . 1)Carpet going to upstairs and in upstairs hall is close to being more large stains than clean spots? This non fussy group elected to not walk barefoot on it on a beach vacation! 2) No A/C is in listing so it is a choice but blinds are important to keep afternoon sun to a minimum to keep temps down. An entire blind was missing in dining room on west side! 3) There are some type of bags filled with water hanging throughout house related to issues with dampness particularly in lower level. The smell is not good and although our group did not need to use the downstairs beds I don't think anyone could put up with it. 4) Obviously not controllable by owner but a bat was inside the house on last day. Flew from kitchen down the basement? 5) Could argue this is vacation house for beach time etc but ... the only TV in the house is the size of a small computer monitor and not of modern times to make connection to your device easy. TVs today are really cheap? 6) typical of these rentals, hard floors were swept but really dirty if you had to wipe up a water drop or similar. The place is a tough one. We had a good time but were definitely offput by smell/mildew on lower level and particularly carpet on stairs. At $700 plus a night all in, it definitely felt wrong. POTENTIAL is great here.

Beautiful view. Amenities are great. Short walk to town to enjoy shopping and restaurants. Plenty of room for all to relax

The home was as beautiful as described and reflected in the pictures. The agency (Vacasa) was responsive and easy to work with. Suggest providing more instructions about the amenities - the coffee maker was temperamental and locating the outdoor garbage receptacles required circling the house and looking in basement windows and figuring out how to get to them once located. Also, a limited number of pans for cooking. But the view from the home was AMAZING! Listening to the waves at night was soothing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great rental with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan with enough room for a large group of friends. We enjoyed the walkability to downtown Frankfort - easy access to shopping and restaurants. The walk down the beach from the house took minutes and was breathtaking. Some small cleanliness issues and a shower that was difficult to manage - but otherwise a great rental.
