The Glarum House is a Gem!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at The Glarum House in Elberta. This historical house was updated, clean, and comfortable in every way for our family. The location is ideal as it is only a short drive to Frankfort and has easy access to two lovely beaches (Elberta & Frankfort Beach). There is so much to do in the immediate area and this house would be perfect for families traveling with children. As an added bonus, we met the owner of the house. He was so kind to our family and we learned a lot about the history of the house and area. We will definitely return here in the future and highly recommend The Glarum House.

We loved the house, accommodations, and location. It was great biking to Frankfort going to breakfast and dinner in the local restaurantsHowever, the stairs are very steep and in the main floor powder room there is a door that leads to the basement. It was not locked! None of us adults knew or expected a door that would lead to the basement. Unfortunately, we discovered it when my two-year-old grandson fell down the stairs. He was being watched by my son in the family room. He wandered into the bathroom none of us thinking anything about it and then we heard the fall.

Winter weekend

We really enjoyed staying at this property! There was plenty of space for all of us. The house was clean and as described in the listing. The beds were also very comfortable which was a huge plus as this is not always the case in rental properties. Would love to stay again!

Elberta History Meets Contemporary Comforts

This is a very nice, historical property within easy walking distance of Elberta's restaurants, marina, Waterfront Park, and Elberta Beach on Lake Michigan, and a short drive from Frankfort on the other side of Betsie Bay as well as many other Northern Michigan attractions. The house is renovated, clean, and well-maintained. Contemporary HVAC, new windows and window treatments, comfortable beds, and quality furniture contribute to a warm and cozy feeling, while tall ceilings, a grand staircase, and a piano in the foyer are some of the things that make the property feel unique and sophisticated. Communication with the management company, before, during, and after our stay was excellent. Elberta and Frankfort are experiencing a bit of a revival, but these are small towns where relationships and reputations matter; a fact that shows in the quality of this property and its management.
