Tucked into the tranquil hills just off iconic M-22, Scenic Escape offers a serene and inviting home base surrounded by Northern Michigan’s best. Designed for relaxation, the home features an open main-level layout, high ceilings, and abundant natural light—creating a bright, airy space perfect for unwinding.

For outdoor adventure, Scenic Escape is stocked with three kayaks—enough for four people—plus two adult and two youth life vests. You're just minutes from Lake Michigan’s breathtaking beaches, including Green Point Dunes and Trailhead, the scenic Betsie River, and the championship fairways of Arcadia Bluffs. Crystal Mountain offers year-round recreation, while downtown Frankfort—just a short drive or bike ride away—serves up local shops, dining, and arts along the stunning lakeshore.
