What To Wear
The Frankfort Elberta community, and Traverse City in general, is a casual place where casual dress prevails. Dress is not a worry here. You can wear the same clothes any time during the year.
Shorts and T-shirts are a
must. A hat is important to prevent a sunburn. You will probably
want sneakers to make all your walking comfortable. And sandals or
rubber thongs are great for the beach and surf. Sweats are great
for lounging around the unit, especially in the evening. After the
sun goes down you will often need a light jacket or sweatshirt for
outside.
What to bring
The unit has everything you will need for your stay - short of your clothes and personal items. All linens are provided. The kitchen has everything you will need for cooking and serving. There may be a few staples like sugar, and a few spices in the pantry, but you will need to stop at the local market or grocery store to pick up your food items.
There are some books, puzzles, games, card decks for you, but you should bring any of your favorites that you cannot live without. There will be a few of the essentials - like soap, coffee filters, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. - for you to get started. But you will need to buy or bring these items to use during your stay. By the way, you may want to bring binoculars for viewing the sights.
