Frankfort is a beautiful area and the Harbor Lights Resort was the best place we could have stayed. Our condo was spotless clean and very comfortable with the fireplace and jetted tub. We had a great view of Lake Michigan and Lake Betsie from the very large deck. The staff were absolutely wonderful. There was construction at our condo during our stay (of which I complained about). They offered to find us another unit or reduce our total price for the inconvenience. The restaurants in Frankfort were fabulous. We rented bikes and rode along the Betsie river. Absolutely wonderful I’m not sure why we have never been to Frankfort before, but it is definitely one of my favorite places in Michigan

We stayed at Harbor Lights Resort during a few stints my husband worked at the local hospital last month, February. We've come across this resort many times during the summer as well and the location is gorgeous!! Its proximity to local restaurants the beach and shops is perfect!! We were so happy with the customer service, the room, the amenities, nice kitchen, bathroom fireplace. Its a great place to stay we give it a 12 out of 10. We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite. We will definitely be back!!
