Sand & Snow - Remodeled / Great Location! Walk to Downtown and Beach!

This is a wonderful, family-friendly ranch-style home in a great location in the downtown Frankfort residential area! Gorgeous home that has been recently renovated! Features great use of technology with central air conditioning, exceptional 400 Mbps Wi-Fi, and digital streaming with Hulu, PureFlix, Netflix, Max, and Disney+ all included across 3 televisions. Includes a game / entertainment room plus a washer and dryer in the basement!


GUEST INTERACTION:

We have a local property manager that lives in the area and is available to address any questions or issues.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The house is set in the middle of Frankfort's very cute and charming downtown residential area. It's only a couple blocks from downtown Frankfort and a very easy walk to shops, restaurants, and cafes. Frankfort Beach and Lake Michigan is only 0.6 miles from the house, which works out to about a nice 10 to 15 minute walk from the house.

Outside of Frankfort, Crystal Lake is just 10 minutes away, the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is only a 20-minute drive from the house, and downtown Traverse City with it's shops, restaurants, entertainment, and nightlife is only a 1-hour drive away!


THE SPACE:

All 3 bedrooms and both full bathrooms are located on the main floor! In the partially-finished basement, there is a entertainment / game / kids room as well as a washer and dryer that is available for guests to use.

Outside, the house has a nice large deck with a new gas grill and nice new bonfire ring for great family bonfires with s'mores!


TRANSIT:

It is recommended that guests have their own vehicle, but it's very possible to get by without a vehicle if you wish to stay right in Frankfort the entire time.

Beach vacation in Michigan!

Loved the house and the remodeling is beautiful. We appreciated the proximity to the downtown area and the beach. Having beach towels available was very nice! Only improvement would be having toiletries like shampoo available. We also noticed a lot of ants on the floor everywhere but especially the living room, and weren’t able to lock the back door.

Great property

The communication process was good from the beginning. Everything was prepared for us on arrival. The check-in process was smooth as well. The house is well equipped for a long- or short-term stay. Grill and a fire pit are a good way to relax in the evening. Recommended!

Gwen’s Place is great!

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Gwen’s place in August. The home was clean and comfortable, had plenty of space, the yard was great and we enjoyed the fire pit many days and evenings. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance to many downtown shops and restaurants. A bit longer of a walk led to the beach. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, and there was enough space for all 6 of us to sit together for a meal. We will definitely consider staying again when in the area!

Wonderful family stay

My wife and I stayed for a week with two of our kids, 15 and 6. Very comfortable accommodations, climate control was perfect, the back yard was very nice, and the kitchen was well stocked. The linens were very clean, the only thing lacking from the entire stay was a dish towel. I only mention that to highlight how little there was to criticize. It’s a short walk to everywhere you’d want to go, we hardly used the car for our entire trip. I would highly recommend.
