When it comes to picking the right place to stay there are several factors to consider. The location of the hotel, the amenities, and the level of comfort a hotel offers. The Harbor Lights Resort on Lake Michigan meets all of those and so much more. Let us explore this iconic resort right on Lake Michigan in the beautiful charming beach town of Frankfort Michigan.

Harbor Lights Resort

15 South 2nd Street

The Harbor Lights Resort is on lake Michigan and has its own private beach access from the resort. This resort is family owned and the owners are onsite daily. You are also within walking distance to downtown Frankfort and the vast majority of its restaurants and shopping. I personally feel walkability is a big factor to fully enjoy a relaxing vacation. In my opinion this is the best resort in town. Not only does it offer great amenities but it is also in a convenient location. You can literally park your car and never have to use it since you can easily walk to the beach or the downtown area. Additionally, there is ample parking and it is free of cost.

Furthermore, the resort offers an indoor pool, and the lobby serves coffee and has fresh donuts delivered every morning from the crescent bakery. We have stayed at this resort multiple times so far and plan on continuing to stay there when we travel to Frankfort in the future. Moreover, the resort is very clean, and cozy. Upon entering the suite we were overwhelmed with a warm northern feeling of comfort. Also, the staff is friendly and always able and willing to assist with towels and other inquiries that you may have.

Luxury Suite

This resort offers various types of rooms. I would recommend the luxury suites for its size and amenities. The luxury suite is about $80.00 more per night than the standard motel rooms, but you get a lot more, including double the amount of space at around 740 square feet. Basically, you go from a motel room to a full condo with amenities, such as a whirlpool, fireplace, balcony, living room, and a full kitchen stocked with plates silverware and glasses. Moreover, the balcony gives you a partial view of lake Michigan and Betsie Lake.

Full Kitchen

Each Suite comes with a complete kitchen, which can be advantageous as you can shop for groceries at the Main grocery store or stock up on some of the goods from the Crescent Bakery down the street. This also allows you to do some of the cooking at home, instead of having to go out to eat every meal. The luxury suites have a large dining room table for meals and a comfortable living room with a double-sided gas fire place to really set the mood. The fireplace is especially wonderful during the cooler fall months.

The best part of the luxury suite is the large balcony each one of these suites offers. We would spend every morning and evening sitting on the balcony in one of the Adirondack chairs and listen to the waves in the distance crash onto the shore. The balcony is also a great place to read your favorite book while enjoying a mid afternoon latte.
