Hill Hideaway - Renovated & Soaring Views of Crystal Lake!

High above blue waters, this renovated cottage offers sweeping views of Crystal Lake and beyond! Soak up the great outdoors with lawn seating, charcoal grill, picnic table, and bonfire ring. Frankfort restaurants, breweries, beaches and shopping are a short 5 minute drive away. Sleeping Bear Dunes, boat launches, hiking and bike trails nearby! The remodeled kitchen is stocked for home cooks, and the spacious sunroom is the perfect place to bask in the view and socialize with loved ones. This Northern Michigan location with a 180° view is truly one-of-a-kind!

Hill Hideaway cottage is peacefully tucked away on a private hilltop where there are four neighboring homes, each with a defined outdoor area. With a remote location feel, yet close proximity to Frankfort (5 min drive!), guests can easily explore the area and retreat to this welcoming, recently renovated, and fully functional cottage.

This vacation home is designed with families in mind: it can sleep 5 comfortably in beds. The primary bedroom has a queen bed accessible from both sides. The secondary bedroom's bunk bed has an XL twin perched above a queen; perfect for three children, or an adventurous adult who can climb to the upper bunk. BOTH bedrooms have ductless mini-split AC units for cooling or heating!

A chest filled with games and puzzles entertains on rainy days or evenings, and the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, drink ware, utensils, pots and pans, and modern appliances, including dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker.

Star gazing is a summertime favorite with a dark sky overhead. The northern lights make occasional mid-night appearances, if one is awake to spot them!

Guests have access to the entire cottage, front yard patio, side yard with seating, lawn space, and circular parking area. There is parking space for 2-3 vehicles comfortably, and the circular parking area may be enough room for guests with a boat trailer. Self check-in is via key-code at the front door.
