About this property
Crystal Lake Waterfront Cottage with Private Dock, Yard, & Hot Tub
This vacation rental is located on the northside of Crystal Lake 3 miles from downtown Beulah. You and your guests are sure to enjoy the 110 feet of private frontage directly on the lake with a large and deep side yard; plenty of space for kids and guests to play games and enjoy the views. 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. A long dock with a swimming platform at the end is the perfect place to relax in the sun and cool off in the water. Water toys for guests include 2 new single sit on top kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and a hot tub that will seat 6. Additional items include use of lifejackets, free Wi-Fi, TV w/ sound bar, bath towels, and linens, a gas and a charcoal grill, and a clothes dryer. There is also a basketball hoop, bocce ball set and games and puzzles to enjoy.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jamie Clough

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.
