This is a very cute and quirky home with lots of style! Great location at the very base of the legendary Elberta Dunes! Perfect location for exploring the dunes, checking out eclectic downtown Elberta, and hitting Elberta Beach on Lake Michigan! Features high speed Wi-Fi, streaming television, washer and dryer, and a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing backyard at the base of the dunes! Perfect destination for a northern Michigan getaway for an individual, couple, or small group / family! PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) FIREPLACE: The fireplace in the living is not to be used by guests. 2) JACUZZI TUB: The jacuzzi tub in the upstairs bathroom can be used as a regular tub, but the jets are not usable. 3) PET POLICY: Pets are strictly prohibited at this property. 4) NO AIR CONDITIONING: The home does not have air conditioning. (Given the home's proximity to Lake Michigan and the shade from the dunes, this is generally not needed.) 5) GARAGE: The large detached garage next to the house is not available for guest usage. 6) LOFT AREA: The loft area in the living room is not available for guest usage. 7) NUMBER OF GUESTS: Please note that our pricing is based upon the number of guests, with pricing being higher with each additional guest that is included on the reservation. Please make certain that the correct number of guests is specified on the reservation so that the pricing is correct. 8) EARLY CHECK-IN: Our policy is to allow early check-in on the day of arrival if the property is available for check-in. We will not know until the day before arrival whether or not the property will be available for early check-in or not. You can check with our local property manager the day before arrival or on your arrival day to see if the property will be available for early check-in or not. 9) LATE CHECK-OUT: We maintain a very strict and structured cleaning schedule. As such, late check-outs are strictly prohibited.

The home is in a great location in the downtown residential portion of Elberta at the base of Elberta Dunes. Downtown Elberta, Betsie Lake, the Betsie River, and Betsie River Bike Trail are just a short walk from the property. Downtown Elberta features a few fun shops and restaurants, including The Lighthouse Cafe, which is a great traditional breakfast spot! The home is also just a few blocks from the famous Cabbage Shed restaurant on Betsie Lake, which is great place to enjoy food, drinks, and live music on the water! The home is also just 0.7 miles from the Elberta Dunes South Natural Area, where you can hike up the dunes to a great lookout area where you can see Lake Michigan, Betsie Lake, downtown Frankfort (across Betsie Lake), and the Betsie River as it empties into Betsie Lake. (Betsie Lake then empties into Lake Michigan.) The home is also just 1 mile from Elberta Beach, which is beautifully quiet and pristine (and where you can legally have bonfires at night). Note that Elberta also has just recently installed a kayak dock on Betsie Lake in downtown Elberta where you can put in your kayak and kayak around Betsie Lake and either go west out to Lake Michigan or go east up the Betsie River. The kayak dock is less than one-half of a mile from the property. On the other side of Betsie Lake is Frankfort, which is larger than Elberta and has a very charming downtown area with a lovely collection of cafes, restaurants, shops, a vintage movie theater (the Garden Theater), and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a very popular public beach (Frankfort Beach) on Lake Michigan and a pier that goes out to a large, famous, and historic lighthouse. It's always fun to walk the pier out to the lighthouse! Downtown Frankfort is less than a 5-minute drive from the property.
