Can’t beat the location right on Lake Michigan! Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and the room was spacious with drawers, a table and a closet space. They had laundry on site and one of the best ice maker machines I’ve ever seen! We will be back!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

When I booked our last minute stay, I was just hoping for a clean room for my kids and I. Harbor Lights Resort was so far above and beyond that! The room was fantastic - very clean, modern, and just steps away from the beach! Staff was very kind and helpful. The property is beautifully maintained and quiet. I do wish parking was more plentiful, but you have to work with what you've got. All in all, it was the perfect homebase for our Sleeping Bear Dunes weekend!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean. Every morning there was coffee and fresh bakery donuts. It is right on the water and walking distance to town. We will definitely stay here again.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. We weren't facing the water but a simple walk around the building and we were on the beach. We had a wonderful time. Frankfort is a wonderful town with plenty of shops and restaurants, and a convenient drive up M22 to Sleeping Bear and the Leelanau peninsula was fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone!
