About this property

Crystal Lake Cottage on the South Shore with Beach/Lake Access

This cute cottage is right across the street from beautiful Crystal Lake where you have a beach with lake access. If you have a boat, no problem, we have a mooring buoy that holds a boat up to 30 feet in length. A public boat launch is conveniently located adjacent to the property! The open floor plan is great for family fun or entertaining. Cable TV can be found in the living room as well as in the Master Bedroom. Wi-Fi is available for your personal devices. Bright and Airy best describes the feel of the decor. The spacious Living Room has an L shaped couch with plenty of seating, expansive glass sliding doors that open to a balcony that overlooks Crystal Lake. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, glass ware, pots and pans, cooking utensils, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and dishwasher. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom. The 1st bedroom features a King Size Bed, large closet, flat screen TV, and an adjoining full bathroom. The second bedroom has bunk beds and a large closet. The lower bunk bed is a full size bed, and the upper bed is a single. Located on the South Shore of Crystal Lake, just a 5 minute drive to Frankfort, which has small town charm with boutique shopping, and great restaurants. Frankfort also offers a public beach on Lake Michigan next to the pier. Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes National Park, Point Betsie Lighthouse, and several spectacular golf courses are nearby.
