CRYSTAL LAKE: return to your childhood summer vacations! Wake up early, the sun is shining, the bacon’s frying and the lake is clear and inviting. Walk out to your private sandy beach on Crystal Lake. Take a refreshing swim to the 'blue line”. Spend the day golfing, fishing, water skiing, or just relaxing. Read a book or watch the kids play. It’s your vacation!
Welcome to our LOG CABIN on Crystal Lake! Come and enjoy our two beautiful, weed-free, hard-packed, sandy-bottomed swimming beaches. Crystal Lake is known as one of the ten most beautiful inland lakes in the world and you’ll know why when you see it! What our beaches offer is plenty of sugar soft sand for castle building and a dock and swim platform for sun bathers and swimmers. The crystal clear water is perfect for children, as it is shallow until you are out beyond the dock.
The LOG CABIN sleeps five and is about 200 feet from the water’s edge and is situated among the pines, behind our WATERFRONT cottage which sleeps seven. You could have a total of twelve people with both cottages for a FUNTASTIC vacation. It is a beautiful, authentic LOG CABIN which was built by hand in 1959! The cabin is about 1000 square feet and has two living areas. A charming stone fireplace lends backwoods ambiance to the front room. The tools that built this cabin are hanging on the wall. This room contains a king size bed, a twin bed, and a pleasant sitting area. A locking door separates the front and back rooms. The back room contains the kitchen, bathroom and a curtained off 2nd bedroom with 2 twin beds. The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, toaster oven, refrigerator, blender and dinner table to seat 10! There is also an outdoor charcoal grill outside and a stone FIRE PIT. This cottage shares the beachfront and dock with our FRONT WATER cottage. Should you be looking for another cottage , additional beds SEVEN, please contact us for we also OWN the cottage in front of the LOG cabin.
Dogs are an important member of many families. As our cottages are on a private road with just one neighbor across the road, it’s a very safe place for dogs. There is no road between the cottages and the lake. Over half the lake has the road right next to the homes or between the lakes and the property. Well-behaved dogs can run and swim to their hearts’ content! We allow Dogs in our LOG CABIN . If you are interested in bringing your dog along, please call us to discuss that possibility. There is an additional charge for each dog and we ask they not be left unattended in the cottages. We have a large dog crate on the premises.
Our LOG CABIN is in Mollineaux Bay between Frankfort and Beulah off 115. The dock and swim platform are shared for two properties. Beach chairs are in good supply! Please ask about boat rental options. If you have any questions please call or email us for additional information.
We are very proud of our LOG CABIN. They are nestled in an area we like to think of as our 'Heaven on Earth'. There are many wonderful things to do in this area. The bike path to Elberta and Beulah is only a mile down the neighborhood road. The full length of the “rails to trails” is about 24 miles. Explore the pristine North Michigan country side. Buy a cherry pie – the Cherry Hut in Beulah has been recommended by Reader’s Digest as having the nation’s best cherry pie! The beautiful city of Frankfort, Michigan, just a couple miles down the road, is a quaint, picturesque, port city with great dining, shopping, KILWIN'S ICE CREAM, and Lake Michigan Beaches. See a movie at the historic Garden Theater in Frankfort.
Bring your dog for a walk on the Lake Michigan beach at Elberta (by “Trick Dog”). The famous Sleeping Bear Dunes are less than an hour north of us! Take a day trip to Traverse City for a sail on a tall ship. Visit the Lelanau Peninsula and do some antiquing. There is always berry picking for strawberries, cherries, blueberries, or raspberries close by. Check out the always family friendly double features at the Cherry Bowl drive-in theater just down M-31 in the town of Honor.
We invite you to enjoy the beauty of Northern Michigan and enjoy the breath-taking views of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world right on your very own beachfront. The memories you make will bring you back year after year!

We had such a great time on Crystal Lake. Our group stayed here in July and really had a great time. The beach and water were pristine. We rented both properties, which was perfect for a larger group. Evenings were spent watching the kids put on plays on the beach and sitting around the beautiful stone fire pit roasting smores. Daytime was spent relaxing in the sun, swimming, tubing down the nearby Platt River, and visiting the Sand Dunes. This was the perfect spot for a relaxing family vacation. Thank you!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Our week at the front cottage was wonderful. The cottage is very private and only steps from the clear beauty of Crystal Lake. Located only a short distance from grocery stores, and restaurants so that you can cook in or eat out. We chose to eat in most of the time because it was so beautiful. We found the surrounding towns of Frankfort and Beulah to be charming. They offer interesting shops, bakeries, antiques, galleries, etc. There is a light house in Frankfort that you can walk out to. We recommend this property for a relaxing and private experience.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We stayed in the front cottage right on the lake in July of 2011. The property was clean and well maintained. All of the amenities within and around the property were as described in the listing. The swimming area is particualarly nice for children as it is within easy view from all points facing the lake from the cottage as well as the the screened in porch, kitchen, and main living room. The lake is shallow for a consideable distance away from the cottage which places boat traffic away from the little ones. They really enjoyed the dock and swim ladder. The property is loaded with mature trees which provide shade when desired with ample sun near the beach and dock areas. Firepit was very nice to have for cooking and family fun. The children very much enjoyed their accomodations in the three bed loft. Accessible by ladder, this is a nice feature. The cottage itself is a classic Northern Michigan geataway finished in knotty pine and well furnished with screened in porch. The view of Lake Michigan weather is spectacular from here. Sleeping accomodations are very comfortable and clean. The property is also just a stone's throw from some really great fishing accesible by boat on Railroad Point. This is a great value for any family wanting to experience what the Crystal Lake area has to offer. We recommend this rental to anyone seeking a private getaway to this area of Michigan.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

CRYSTAL LAKE! The name says it all! What a pristine and beautiful place to swim, float, play and fish. The LOG CABIN was like walking into Grandma's lake cabin. Charming and cozy (and perfectly described on the page). The beds were SO comfortable! Our dog, Otis, had the time of his life - swimming, wading and just 'hanging with his peeps'! We will always remember our summer vacation on heavenly Crystal Lake!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.
