Platte Lake Waterfront Cottage with beach and swimming dock

Welcome to the Cabbage House! A blend of cabin and cottage :)

Enjoy 100-foot frontage on this all-sports lake with a shared fishing and swimming dock. The sandy beach and shallow water is perfect for kids to build sandcastles and swim. Watch the sunset from the lakeside swing or make smores by the fire pit, wood is available behind the private shed.

The Cabbage House includes a charcoal grill, outdoor table and chairs, Adirondack chairs (feel free to move to watch sunset or sit by the beach), along with a picnic table in the yard. For those rainy days, cozy up with a book from the shelf, play a game or browse movie options on the Smart TV. Bluetooth speaker also provided for pairing phone with music. Pack n Play available on request.

Don't miss these area attractions less than 30 minutes away:
-Cherry Bowl Drive-in Theater (call 231-325-3413 for movie info)
-Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park (lots of hiking and panoramic lake views)
-Downtown Frankfort (great beach, lighthouse, shopping and restaurants)
-Empire Lighthouse
-Crystal Mountain (golf, alpine slide, hiking and biking)
-Betsie Valley Trailway (beautiful 10 mile bike path from Beulah to Frankfort along Crystal and Betsie Lake)
-Riverside Canoe Trips (either rent or take your own kayak/canoe/tube down the Platte River into lake Michigan)
-St. Ambrose Cellars (taproom, live music and food trucks)

And with Traverse City only 40 minutes away, there's too much to do that you won't want to leave!

Perfect and Peaceful Cottage!
We were so happy with this cute little cottage and we had a perfect and peaceful stay. We’ll definitely be back. The cottage was very clean, which is the most important thing to us, and nicely maintained. It was also well stocked with supplies and kitchen equipment. Its location is ideal for lake activities, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor and other beautiful and nearby destinations. Amy is a friendly, kind and responsive host. From before we even booked the cottage, all the way through to the end of our stay, she quickly answered all our questions. She has a gem of a place here and we were thankful we were able to rent it for our family reunion on Platte Lake this summer.

Wonderful Vacation Week
We had a "girls' trip" here for a week with my mom, aunt, and cousin, and we had an amazing time! The cabin was VERY cozy (as described), but it met all of our needs. It was clean and beautifully furnished inside. The window in the living room looks right on the lake. We really enjoyed the dock, lake, and fire pit just steps away from the cabin. The location is perfect for going to all of our favorite spots in the area, including Beulah and Sleeping Bear Dunes. All of our neighbors were very kind and friendly. We highly recommend it!

Big Platte Perfection
What a gem on Big Platte Lake! We chose this property for its location on Big Platte but also near the Platte & Betsie Rivers for fishing. Great location! The Cabbage House has all the warmth and charm of a decades old cottage without the rusty & dusty kitsch. Tastefully modernized for a sense of calm, not clutter. Everything was very clean and amenities provided as listed. This cottage offers a beautiful view of the lake from the sitting room window! Plenty of frontage to enjoy w/neighboring cottages & guests. So much to see & do in & around this area! Perfect location for all of it. Ours friends joined us for part of the time. We were cozy in the space but still comfortable. Great communication from the owner! Couldn’t ask for better. Great memories made! Thank you!

Beautiful!
We had an absolutely lovely time at this beautiful cabin. The only thing we wish we had understood before coming was that we had to share the beach with other families. The other families were extremely rude to our family, but we were able to go to other beaches in the area and still have lots and lots of fun. We wish that we had understood this prior to coming; however, we still enjoyed the beautiful cabin and the wonderful amenities and the gorgeous areas nearby. We hope to return and have another stay. Now that we understand that there are other families in the cabins nearby, hopefully they will be kinder next time we stay.
