About this property
Sandhill Cottage, new 2-bedroom house in Elberta, dog friendly
Make Sandhill Cottage your home base for your up north adventures! A new build nestled in the quiet village of Elberta, Sandhill Cottage borders the Betsie River State Game Preserve. Enjoy sandhill cranes, geese, deer, rabbits, and other wildlife from the comforts of the covered porch. Hiking opportunities are just across M-22 at the Elberta Dunes South Natural Area or just down M-22 at Green Point, both offering beautiful views of Lake Michigan and the dunes. Local shopping, dining, and public beaches are just minutes away in Elberta and nearby Frankfort. Four-season activities from golf and mountain biking to skiing and more are available at Crystal Mountain Resort, only 15.6 miles away. Enjoy the sight of the Point Betsie Lighthouse silhouetted against the sunset over Northern Michigan in nearby Frankfort, or enjoy a late night at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In for their double feature. Sandhill Cottage offers a convenient central location for so many of your next adventures.
