Been to Northern Michigan but never to Frankfort and wanted a place by the water. Took a chance on Harbor Lights and it was a winner. It's just the two of us (we're retired) so we stayed in one of the motel rooms with no direct view of the lake but it was right around the corner and only a minute or two from the water. Convenient for a couple of picturesque sunsets! It was a slightly longer walk to the small downtown which has a few nice restaurants. We would definitely stay there again!

Staff was amazing. Room was mostly clean. There were little areas that needed attention. Walls and baseboards could have used a wipe down but bedding was clean and comfortable. Bathroom is a little small but clean. Chlorine was overpowering in pool area but clean.

Very nice property, helpful and nice staff, donuts every morning and just steps to the beach or nearby shops & restaurants. Great indoor pool! Our 1-bedroom unit has some older furniture but the kitchen appliances appear new, and everything was very clean. Plenty of space for two people!

The property is a combination of condos that are owned and rented out and "motel rooms" for the resort. The facilities are super clean, the grounds are amazing and the staff is super nice and helpful. Its worth every penny.
