We have been vacationing every summer at Crystal Lake for at least 10 years. It is a beautiful place. Frankfort Michigan is a hopping little tourist town during the summer. If you need big shopping, you will be disappointed. This is geared for casual dining, t-shirts, and art galleries/book stores. A lovely sandy beach and Lake Michigan is at the end of Main St. Public access to Crystal Lake is the next town over, Beulah, MI. Best to rent a cottage on Crystal Lake and start your own summer traditions.

Built on the former Ann Arbor Railroad grade, the stretch between Frankfort and Beulah is a very pleasant ride. Starting at Cannon Park in Frankfort and ending in downtown Beulah, you get a small town tour, ride through meadows, forests, riverside, Crystal Lake and into downtown Beulah. Take the time to stop and explore and you will be rewarded with some of the most pleasant sights, smells and sounds of summer possible. The entire ride is only about 20 miles round trip, but it's mostly flat, with only the wind on the return trip to slow you down. A very peaceful, lovely ride.

Ellie Harold Studio & Gallery is located in an historic Victorian home on the corner of 4th Street and Forest Avenue, just a short block from Main Street. The 1895 structure showcases the award-winning artist's contemporary oil paintings. When Ellie discovered the nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in 2007, she declared "I could paint here for the rest of my life." The following year, she and her husband Roo purchased the Forest Ave. home and embarked on a 3 year renovation project. Since 2012, they have welcomed many hundreds of visitors who enjoy meeting the artist and viewing her artwork displayed in a home setting. In addition to paintings and decor ideas, you'll also find gift items: boxed card sets, desk calendars and the artist's book, 7 Habits of Deeply Fulfilled Artists: Your Aesthetic Needs & How to Meet Them. In warmer weather you'll find Ellie painting in her Summer Studio -- you're welcome stop by and watch!
In Frankfort, MI this past weekend admiring the beautifully restored and charming homes of this quaint "seacoast" town and found ourselves in Ellie's summer studio. We were instantly drawn to the welcoming and warm glow surrounding this place. Ellie visited with us throughout out personal home tour, and shared the inner feelings that inspired each piece, providing meaning and depth I've rarely seen firsthand. She also told her story which gave context and further texture to how she approaches her work. The work speaks to you with each brush stroke in a beautiful and loving way. We felt her kindness and vibrant spirit stay with us throughout the weekend. Thank you Ellie.

The light house and shop and tours, are great and a lot of the lake history is talked about> The beach we spent time looking at the rocks on the beach. Great views.

We were in Frankfort on a beautiful hot summer July day! We walked towards the beach and saw the lighthouse! And you could walk out to it?? Cool! Yes! We walked the massive concrete pier to reach the lighthouse. There were places that were wet in the concrete and made walking slippery. Be careful! Many were diving off the pier. We didn’t have clothes to swim in so we jealously watched. We hope to be back! This was part of a fun day in Frankfort!
