Sharing the Beauty of Michigan with the World Vacation Rentals and Vacation Rental Management Services Across All of Michigan

Absolutely fabulous, perfect, clean and so close to everything. It makes me want to move to Frankfort! The service was fabulous. Gene was extra helpful so was Eric! I strongly would suggest Agape to anyone!

​Our stay at ‘Emanuel’ was an absolute dream and a perfect retreat from our everyday lives. From the moment we arrived, our hosts, Char and Duck, made us feel like part of their extended family. Their warmth, helpfulness, and accommodating nature were truly exceptional. ​The apartment itself is a lovely, comfortable, and cozy haven. We were so impressed by the thoughtful touches, from the charming decorations to the nice candies that welcomed us. It was the perfect base for our adventures. ​The location is ideal for anyone looking to explore the breathtaking beauty of the region. We had the freedom to bike and were just a short distance from Empire, the fabulous M-22 scenic byway, and the magnificent trails, beaches, and dunes of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. ​A special and heartfelt thank you goes to their daughter, Gayle. She was incredibly gracious and giving with her time, watching over our two Australian Shepherds, Oakley and Rocky, who can be a handful! She walked them on the beautiful, nearly 5-acre property, which gave us such peace of mind to explore. ​We are so grateful to Char, Duck, and Gayle for sharing their incredible home and property with us. It was more than just a place to stay; it was a home away from home where we felt genuinely cared for. We cannot recommend this wonderful retreat highly enough!

Cute and Cozy cabin for a small spring break getaway. Nicely stocked kitchen, towels were big and fluffy. House was clean. Tabitha, the property manager was beyond amazing and so helpful. When we arrived there was no grill like the listed stated. We had brought meals that included the need for grill. She immediately brought over her own Blackstone grill. We woke up the first morning and with no heat or hot water. There’s a random switch in the downstairs bedroom near a lamp that if hot turns off the on demand water heater. Would be great if that was labeled. We had to get tools out of our truck to fix the table and benches in the dining room because they were so lose and felt they were going to fall apart. Hot tub was great, a little dirty when we arrived. All in all great rental. Would stay here again.

We had so much fun at White Birch! The house itself is so well appointed, cozy, and CLEAN. We appreciated the coffee and spices and all of the toiletries that were provided. During our stay, we enjoyed time at Crystal skiing and taking advantage of the spa. We had a lovely drive up M22 checking out Lake Michigan’s icy shores. We enjoyed a couple visits to Storm Cloud for food and drinks. And we ended our stay with a beautiful sunset at Frankfort Beach. We cannot to back to White Birch!

Great house in a secluded area! Better than the pictures!

We stayed here for 3 nights in late July and it was amazing. We will certainly be back again. We loved how cozy the house was and feeling like we were truly staying at a family’s lake house, instead of a cookie-cutter rental house. The house was stocked with everything we needed to cook in every night to enjoy the stunning views from the porch. It was also very carefully thought out to accommodate our Labrador retriever; the outdoor hose to clean her off, the vacuum for in the house, and porch with the gates were super convenient. The beach access was great and the sunsets were beautiful. Never got tired of sitting on the porch in the evening.

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at Life Aquatic and everything was great once again. As pet owners we like that the yard is completely fenced with a gate at the end of the driveway. We did get to see some beautiful fall colors until the rain came. We may be back again for another vacation in the Alpena area.

It was a great time and a great location

This was one of the best places we have ever rented, and the 4 of us have done this for 30 years. Very clean, fully stocked, comfortable beds and walking distance to everything local. We would definitely stay again.

The cabin was as pictured. The overhead fans helped with not having air conditioning. The property manager was in getting back to you and was very helpful. Good location. Overall a nice stay and would return.
