Our stay at Trout Lily Cabin was wonderful! My husband and I wanted to go Up North for a little get-away to see the leaves change, and to adventure around the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. On our way in on Friday night we stopped at a fabulous Mexican restaurant near the cabin called Roadhouse Mexican Bar and Grill. Yum! -A bit of a foodie place, with a lovely outdoor bar area. We ate inside at the bar though because the place was full. Seems very popular!
The cabin and property was even more beautiful than we expected. After our Saturday out hiking, beaching, and “scenic viewing,” we came home to the warm hot tub which was ready to go! Looking out from the hot tub a beautiful forest spralls out before your eyes. Inside, you see this same view from all of the main living spaces: the dining room, kitchen, and living room.
After our soak, we walked across the lawn, through a short wooded trail, and down to the river with a couple of cocktails. There is a lovely deck and dock on the river with quality outdoor couches and chairs. Golden sun rays illuminated the sandy bottom of the shallow river, maybe 4 feet at the deepest here. The scenery was beautiful, and very private with a complete wooded area across the river as well. We talked about bringing our kayaks up the next time we come. It would be very easy to put them in the river here and kayak down to Lake Michigan.
On our way back to the cottage we sat on the front porch for a while to enjoy this space before going out to dinner at The Manitou in between Beaulah and Frankfort. The food was fabulous, and wait staff were friendly and efficient. We chose to sit outside by the firepit, but you could easily make reservations and sit in the fancier dining rooms.
There is also a fire pit outside the cabin and a wood burning stove inside, both very easy to use. And ample wood ready to use inside and outdoors. The TV works well and the living room furniture is quality and comfortable to lay around and read, talk and laugh!
Our trip was a much needed getaway! Thank you to the owners for thinking of every little detail! Especially the clean and well appointed and updated kitchen area. So easy to cook and visit with people at the same time.

6 of us recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lake house rental, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Nestled just a short drive from Frankfort and the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes, this property is a true gem.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the spectacular lake views. The house features large windows that perfectly frame the serene landscape, making it a peaceful retreat. We spent hours relaxing on the spacious patio and lawn, enjoying the sunsets and listening to the gentle waves.
The location is unbeatable! Just minutes away from the charming town of Frankfort, we loved exploring local shops and restaurants. Plus, being so close to Sleeping Bear Dunes allowed us to easily venture out for some unforgettable hikes and breathtaking vistas.
Inside, the house was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The open-concept living area was perfect for gathering with family and friends, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our cooking needs. Each bedroom was cozy and inviting, ensuring restful nights after our days of adventure.
We also appreciated the easy access to the lake. Whether we were swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the water, it was the perfect way to unwind and soak in nature.
Overall, this lake house exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s the ideal spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the beauty of Northern Michigan. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable stay!

We loved the location being secluded and private as well as the vibe of a modern log cabin. Would totally recommend to others, and we look forward to a return stay!
