Wow, this place is central to so many great spots. In one week we did so much around the area. My 2.5YO and 6YO loved the property. The water is shallow all the way out to the buoys. My 6 year old and wife walked out to the buoys 4x. My 2YO loved playing in the water but mostly loved digging in the beach on the property with all the provided toys & tools. The flower garden quickly became their scooter “race track” where they raced around loving life. One thing to watch for with the littles is the stairs and the open deck in back. Other than that, kids had a blast staying at the property. As a parent I loved that this place wasn’t full of breakable nic nacks and “lake life” ceramics like many lake rentals have. Favorite excursions:Peterson Beach where we were practically alone for hours. Platte River Pointe Beach was a HUGE win with our family. Float down a river that shoots you into Lake Michigan! Such a unique experience, beautiful beach and so cool to be able to step a few feet in warm river waters to frigid Great Lakes water. Using a provided bike I rode to one of the wetland areas near Peterson Beach, took photos & bird watched w/ binoculars. We did the dune climb, hiked Empire Bluffs, visited Frankfort, and went to Empire Beach(lots of playgrounds), and floated around on Platte Lake. We did a lot more, but the review is cutting me off. We enjoyed both exploring & staying at the cottage on Platte Lake. Would consider going back!
