Great place to getaway over July 4th

We enjoyed a relaxing stay at The Koal-Mine-Inn and were able to enjoy local activities in downtown Frankfort, biking to Crystal Lake and a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was nice to be able to bring the family pups along and the place was quiet and relaxing.

Relaxed stay at the A frame

Stay was relaxed. Property was very comfortable. Our party had both a dog and baby and worked very well for both. There were baby gates and even a high chair. A large back deck had lots of chairs and a regular and kiddie picnic table. We all enjoyed a lot.

Fantastic home and wonderful location

We stayed for four nights with four adults (family). We would love to come back. This is a very comfortable, clean home with plenty of room and all amenities. Communication was seamless. The location is really great because it's on a quiet street but near the beach and sleeping bear Dunes, hiking, a fish/meat smoke shop, grocery store, bike rental near a beautiful 20 mile trail, and many nice restaurants and shops in Frankfort. Highly recommend.

Koal Mine Inn

We just completed a 5 day stay. The location was wonderful. The house itself is quirky but charming. The cleanness was excellent. There was absolutely nothing in the fridge or pantry which was unusual compared to other VRBO stays. The only maintenance problem was a shower curtain rod that wouldn’t sray in place. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again

Nice time

Overall we had a very nice stay at Koal Mine Inn. We had a few maintenance issues that were addressed very quickly by Hannah, the property manager. Being the first guests of the season, I feel that these issues could have been avoided had the property been given a thorough run through before we arrived. We had repair people there two days of our stay, for which we were given a very small reimbursement.We requested Swiffer cleaning pads to be dropped off because my Granddaughter likes to be barefoot and the bottoms of her little feet were black after running around inside. Again, something that could have been avoided with a thorough cleaning before we arrived. The kitchen was very well stocked, only issue there were the dull knives.The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor area is wonderful and we enjoyed the firepit almost every night. Coffee on the huge deck was nice too.

Check-in was easy, good communication with management, lots of room for people and pets, stocked kitchen, lots of bath towels and clean bedding. It was a good location for beaches and visiting many surrounding places, both decks were nice and big with lots of seating and it was nice to have a grill.

This is such a charming property - the pictures don’t do it justice. It is very large and rustic and a nice walk into town. Quiet, with plenty of space for everyone. The kids loved the loft and felt like they were in a treehouse. We loved our stay here.

Good Times

The place is indeed fun and charming with lots of character. Just know that the entrance is a little dirt road behind the back parking lot of the A&W, and you won't miss it.
