Park Vogel Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Just two blocks from Crystal Lake, this cottage has enough natural elements to keep the lake feelings going long after the life jackets have been put away. Guests can relax in the enclosed porch as the sun goes down, admiring the view and the heat without having to dodge the insect visitors. The wood-burning fireplace can warm up the chilliest of nights. Cooking in the full kitchen is easy, and guests can partake in the store of books set aside for their enjoyment.

What's nearby:
In addition to Crystal Lake, this home is also within 12 miles of Rush Lake, Platte Lake, and Little Platte Lake. Point Betsie Lighthouse (just over two miles away) is the perfect gateway to Lake Michigan. Golf courses abound in this area, the closest being Pinecroft Golf Course, (just over 11-and-a-half miles away), Crystal Lake Golf (about 12-and-a-half miles away), and Champion Hill Golf Course (14 miles away).

Things to know:

Charming But Not Comfy
The first time I stayed at Park Vogel Cottage was in August of 2015 and nothing has changed except maybe a few pieces of furniture. Nine years later, it is beyond time for an update. A new mattress, blankets and pillows would be a great start. Window shades that work, fixing the leaky faucets, a new coffee maker and some additional kitchen tools would be nice—please add a vegetable peeler! The best part of the cottage is the screened in porch—which unfortunately was filthy when we arrived making it unusable. Many phone calls and SMS messages were required to get it cleaned two days after our arrival. If I did not have friends with a large comfortable cottage a quarter mile down the road, I would not stay here again. I do like the location, we discovered a great walk to Lake Michigan on this trip.

Don’t stay here
The smell of musty is overwhelming. Mice poop in the cupboards and cobwebs throughout. Fan running when we arrived as well as charcoal bags throughout rental to try and hide smell. Would not stay there for half the price! Vacasa refunded the cleaning fee, but we did not allow them back in to clean as it would have taken hours and the musty smell would still be there. We asked to be relocated and no response on that request. They eventually refunded 10% of our fee as well as our cleaning fee. Their own policy states that if a customer wants to be moved to another rental and has a legitimate reason, they will move the customer. I asked as soon as we checked in and it was never acted on. Do not stay here, I have pictures that clearly show it theirs were photoshopped. Vacasa pulls you along by telling you they are working on resolving the issue, but management does not respond.

Perfect Location
If you're looking for a small cozy cabin, you found it. Very well decorated inside with many nautical trinkets. Love the Huron Light-Ship. We stayed here, while competing in a sailing regatta at the Crystal Lake Yacht Club. Proximity was perfect, from distance to Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, and downtown Frankfurt. Everything was within a few minutes of driving. We took day trips up to Glen Arbor, Fishtown, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We also went tubing on the Platte River. Our family enjoyed the open ceiling of the cottage, and the ability to casually talk over the walls while laying in bed at night. I'd strongly suggest this place!

Great centralized Michigan getaway
Flawless check-in!! If help was needed, it was a phonecall away! We booked this cabin almost a year in advance. We loved the secluded, in the woods, hunter/ fishing cabin vibe! Was well stocked with what we needed. No fish cleaning facilities at the cabin but one is located 3 miles away in Frankfort. Close to Crystal lake, Lake Michigan, Big Platte lake, and Betsie River. All around, a great place to stay! We hope to stay at this cabin again.

Quaint Home
We pulled up and we're greeted by a cute green home. Inside is very cottage-esque. We enjoyed staying in the home and having a place to rest during a family wedding. We didn't get to spend much time at the beaches but they looked like a fun place to visit.
