About this property
The Bright and Breezy - Lakefront with Spa!
The Bright and Breezy is a gorgeous newly-remodeled home right on the south shore of Crystal Lake! Outside it features a NEW PRIVATE HOT TUB, huge dock, outdoor shower, hammock, bonfire ring, water toys (including a lilypad and a kayak), backyard deck, and a propane grill! Inside the home is beautifully decorated in bright and beachy tones. Plus high-speed Wi-Fi along with live streaming tv's! The property makes for a fantastic base year-round to explore all of northwest Michigan!
NEIGHBORHOOD:
The house is along the luxurious south shore of Crystal Lake, which boasts many luxurious homes of over $1M in value. The neighborhood is primarily made up of vacation homes of professional families.
Outside of the immediate neighborhood, the home is just a few miles from downtown Frankfort, which has a charming collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a fantastic public beach on Lake Michigan and a popular historic lighthouse. The Bright and Breezy is also less than a 30-minute drive from both the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (to the north) as well as Crystal Mountain Ski Resort (to the southeast).
The house is also only about a 1-hour drive east to Traverse City. Traverse City is the business, arts, recreation, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of all of Northern Michigan and it provides a vast variety of "bigger city" things to see and do.
GUEST ACCESS:
Guest have complete access to the entire house, except for a small closet that is used by the owners for storage.
THE SPACE:
This is ALSO a great destination for winter skiing! The home is warm and cozy in the winter with an indoor wood-burning fireplace and it's only a 24-minute drive from Crystal Mountain! It includes high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple televisions with live streaming, and board games as well! Also provides a beautiful wintertime of Crystal Lake and ice fishing right across the street! The new year-round SPA / HOT TUB is also great for relaxing after a day of skiing!

Great location for heading to many of the activities that are in the area. My kids loved the lake and they especially enjoyed the lily pad! It was a fun week of Up North activities!

Very well appointed and very clean. Great lake view and quiet neighborhood. We used it as a base from which we toured the Traverse City area. There are 2 great local restaurants on M22 with outstanding customer service.

This house is in such a prime location for many local sights. The house is nice with really comfortable beds and pillows!!! The hot tub out back was perfect with the cool weather that we had when we were there. I would stay here again
The property was easy to find, the sleeping arrangements were great, and the hot tub was a real hit. We were close enough to Frankfort to pick up carryout and it was an easy drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing.

Thanks, Susan! We are very glad that you and your group enjoyed your stay! We also appreciate you mentioning that the cottage works great for ski trips to Crystal Mountain! Hope to see you again! Best wishes and God bless! :-)
The perfect location. Right on Crystal Lake that was beautiful and still swimmable in September. And also so close to Frankfort that it was easy to pop into town for ice cream. The house has everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, games galore, a stand up paddle board, and things we will have to come back to use, like a kayak and hot tub. Hope to return!

Great house with wonderful kitchen. 3 nice bedrooms. Only concern is if it is hot, only one bedroom has A/C. 90 degree weather was a struggle!

We will definitely stay here again or recommend to all.
What a great property! Included everything we could have needed. Beds comfortable, spacious, and nice upgrades. We enjoyed playing some of the family games too.
We had a great stay here! The lake and street were both quiet even though it was mid-August. We were able to relax at the cottage and enjoy the water. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The house was clean and beautiful! We didn’t get to use the lake because of weather but it looked crystal clear and beautiful at the end of the dock! Lots of room for the whole family. Loved the outdoor shower too! Great experience overall.

My husband myself and our 2 friends just loved it there. All the connivence of home. Close to everything we wanted to do. And after running around all day, it was nice to come back have a small bonfire and enjoy the hot tub. We defiantly what to come back during the summer months to enjoy the lake and to see other places we didn't get to see the 4 days we were there.
