Crystal Lake Cottage on the South Shore with Beach/Lake Access
This cute cottage is right across the street from beautiful Crystal Lake where you have a beach with lake access. If you have a boat, no problem, we have a mooring buoy that holds a boat up to 30 feet in length. A public boat launch is conveniently located adjacent to the property! The open floor plan is great for family fun or entertaining. Cable TV can be found in the living room as well as in the Master Bedroom. Wi-Fi is available for your personal devices. Bright and Airy best describes the feel of the decor. The spacious Living Room has an L shaped couch with plenty of seating, expansive glass sliding doors that open to a balcony that overlooks Crystal Lake. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, glass ware, pots and pans, cooking utensils, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and dishwasher. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom. The 1st bedroom features a King Size Bed, large closet, flat screen TV, and an adjoining full bathroom. The second bedroom has bunk beds and a large closet. The lower bunk bed is a full size bed, and the upper bed is a single. Located on the South Shore of Crystal Lake, just a 5 minute drive to Frankfort, which has small town charm with boutique shopping, and great restaurants. Frankfort also offers a public beach on Lake Michigan next to the pier. Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Park, Point Betsie Lighthouse, and several spectacular golf courses are nearby.

We enjoyed our stay and host was very responsive to our needs. Internet was very weak and inconsistent as it was being extended from across the street. Would recommended if internet is not needed.
Our stay at the Crystal Lake Cottage/home was very pleasant! Had a tv issue, but got it fixed! Thanks Steve! Only drawback was a little bit of a drive from our friends on opposite side of lake. Alway saw deer on drive home at night! Be alert! Thanks for a nice remote getaway!
Very nice home just across from lake. Perfectly located right across from a private (shared) dock, and a boat launch.
The home was clean (except for a mouse problem) and well equiped with all the needs
Quiet and central location to the areas amenities.
We enjoyed our stay at this well appointed home close to Frankfort and Beulah attractions. Ideal as an “overflow” home when you have family and friends nearby like we do.
Quiet. Comfortable and close to the lake… with nice views.
We were racing IM 70.3 in the area and this property was only 10 minutes away from the main Frankfort strip and extremely close to the water. Not only that, we had a little beach across the street! The beds were super comfy, the kitchen was nice and spacious, and we even used the grill! This property had everything we needed. It was also so relaxing at night because we could hear the crickets around. Perfect for our race, and just an overall great property for a relaxing stay.
Great location across the street from a dock and also a public access boat ramp. House was super clean and well stocked. Host was a great communicator and check in was a breeze! Would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely love Crystal Lake and the area and this house is the perfect location to enjoy it all! The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were great for our family and we will definitely be looking for this house again next summer! Everything was as listed and the owner responded quickly to our one question regarding our boat.
This charming house is right across the street from Crystal Lake. The street is quiet, good for walking or biking.
The bright sunny kitchen has everything you could want or need.
The check in /check out is seamless.
Great spot. Close to everything. Beautiful accommodations. Beach a little lacking if you have young kids, but easy enough to get to great public beaches within 5 minutes. Public boat launch literally across the street.
We had a very nice time visiting Frankfort. The cottage provided fine accommodations.
The location for the cottage was excellent. The price was also a good value for the area. Betsy was great to work with. Only negative was there is no AC. Usually not a problem for norther MI but if you get some unlucky humidity or 90 degree days it gets a little uncomfortable at night.
Property was clean and well maintained. Two full bathrooms was very nice. Close to the water and access to dock/mooring. Would visit/utilize this property again. Thank you.
We had a wonderful time! The hosts are so accommodating and very friendly. The cottage is lovely and very comfortable. I would love to stay there again!
Good experience overall with friendly management. The lake is hard to beat with crystal clear water. I wish there was more of a beach for little ones to be able to walk into water, but access from the dock is good for older kids and adults. Some nights got hot without AC but property had a network of fans to make it somewhat tolerable.
