Maple at Lake Bluff Preserve-Spectacular Lake Michigan Views-Sleeps 12

Built in 2018, the Maple house is set high atop the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan one mile North of Downtown Frankfort. Four bedroom, 3.5 bath with open main floor living space, wraparound deck, dining room and kitchen island seating for 12. Kitchen opens to living and dining rooms with Lake Michigan views. Two rollaways and a sleeper sofa can accommodate groups of up to 12 in beds.

**Due to high water and erosion on Lake Michigan, we have closed the stairs down the Bluff (June 2020). If you wish to spend time on the beach, we recommend the Frankfort Public Beach or any of the public beaches on Crystal Lake. We hope to reopen the stairs as soon as mother nature allows us.**

The Frankfort area is home to a deep water marina, the Stormcloud Brewery, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Courses, wine tours, skiing at Crystal Mountain and you don't need to leave our property to hike, mountain bike and explore the dune and forests. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing can be enjoyed from your front door in the Winter. Crystal and Platte Lakes and the Betsie and Platte rivers provide sportsmen with fishing, kayaking, tubing and swimming with many gear rental businesses in the area.
Watch sunsets, bald eagles, whitetail deer, monarch butterflies and other native species from the comfort of your deck or take the path and stairs to the bottom of the bluff for a swim.
Very close proximity to M-22 makes Lake Bluff Preserve a great rally point for car and motorcycle touring clubs, wine tourists, retreats and reunions, golfers and anyone who wants a to behold the beauty of Lake Michigan and Northwest Michigan. Less than an hour to Traverse City, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs and Crystal Mountain.
