neighborhood:
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 07 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.
just outside of elberta and frankfort, there are also a great many things to see and do The start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is just a 15-minute drive from the property to the north. Sleeping Bear Dunes features a incredible collection of hiking trails, biking trails, scenic lookouts on Lake Michigan, and kayaking or tubing down the Platte River through the park and out to Lake Michigan.
crystal lake, point betsie lighthouse on lake michigan, crystal mountain resort, and the cute beach towns of arcadia, beulah, and empire are all also less than 30 minutes from the house If you are looking for more excitement and culture, downtown Traverse City, which is the gem of northern Michigan for restaurants, nightlife, and shopping, is only about a 1-hour drive from the house.
