Welcome to your perfect retreat overlooking beautiful Crystal Lake, an azure blue and green crystal clear 10,000-acre lake. Relax and unwind listening to whispering pines, lapping waves and star-gazing as you lounge on Adirondack chairs on the deck around the fire table after taking advantage the local sights. The cottage has windows on almost on every side providing light and showcasing the beautiful views of the wooded lots around it, making it feel a little like a treehouse on the lake. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1) PET POLICY: All pets are strictly prohibited at this property. 2) AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING: Please note that the property has a space appropriate mini-split dual cooling and heating unit as well as a furnace. It does NOT have central air conditioning. Portable fans are available if needed. 3) NUMBER OF GUESTS: Please note that at the current time occupancy is strictly limited to no more than 2 guests. 4) EARLY CHECK-IN: Our policy is to allow early check-in on the day of arrival if the property is available for check-in. We will not know until the day before arrival whether or not the property will be available for early check-in or not. You can check with our local property manager the day before arrival or on your arrival day to see if the property will be available for early check-in or not. 5) LATE CHECK-OUT: We maintain a very strict and structured cleaning schedule. As such, late check-outs are strictly prohibited. 6) BEDROOM LAYOUT: Instead of a door to the bedroom, there are black-out privacy curtains that can be used to close off the bedroom from the rest of the cottage. There are also a number of windows in the bedroom, but, for guest privacy, all of the windows do have blinds on them.

LOCAL AREA: There are an additional 3 acres of woods that abut to the property. While there is no direct lake access, there is a public access/ boat put-in at Nichols Road or at the Crystal Lake DNR Public Boat launch, and 3 close public beaches in Beulah and off the Betsy Trail (Crystal Lake), in Frankfort and in Elberta (on Lake Michigan). Outside of the immediate property, imagine playing pickleball on the Beulah courts, hiking/ biking Betsy Trail or Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, fishing, taking in the views at wineries and breweries, golfing, kayaking/ boating, visiting art galleries, farm stands and shopping in quaint/ charming Beulah, Frankfort, Empire, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, Traverse City or Crystal Mountain Golf and Ski Resort. Or maybe you’ll spend the day on the beautiful expansive white beach of Lake Michigan in Frankfort minutes away, or on the community Beach in Beulah. Pontoon rentals are available at Crystal Lake Marina.
