A fire pit and Adirondack chairs are close to the water and a perfect spot to watch the beautiful sunsets over the Lake while enjoying a fire by the water. The house is a short drive from Frankfort and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. A 40 minute drive to Traverse City is a great way to spend a rainy day! An abundance of beautiful, public golf courses are a stone’s throw away for the golfers in your group, and Crystal Mountain for those who prefer a spa day or a day at the pool for the little ones.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Clough

Host profile image
Our grandmother started coming to Crystal Lake as a young child; her uncle was Dee Pennington, who once had a Cherry Farm on what is now Pennington Park. Our father spent his childhood summers on the farm and lake and started bringing us here as young children. Both he and our grandmother instilled a lifelong love of all things Crystal Lake, which we now instill in our own children. Though we are a few generations of families born and raised in Cleveland, I now live and raise my children in Traverse City, and Jamie, who lives in Chicago, gets up here with his children as often as he can. We are happy to share our cottage with you and hope that your family enjoys the beauty of all that comes with it during your visit, making memories that will be cherished for years to come.

Why they chose this property

Not as populated as Glen or Torch Lakes; Crystal Lake has the same beautiful, blue, crystal clear waters as the others, just less traffic!

What makes this property unique

In addition to the unusually large yard for Crystal Lake, you can't beat the location. Biking distance to Beulah and the beautiful Betsie Trail that you can ride into Frankfort; close drive to Frankfort; close proximity to all of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park; short drive to Empire and Glen Arbor, a little further drive along Lake Michigan will bring you to Leland and the famous Fish Town and Suttons Bay; close to the many vineyards that inhabit both Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas; approximately 40 minutes to Traverse City; less than 10 minutes to Crystal Mountain. Perfect location for either lounging and playing at the Lake or taking drives to beautiful, scenic parks for hikes and picture ops or historic little lakeside towns.
