This is a very cozy, comfortable, and charming cabin with beautiful woodwork throughout! The styling makes it a great getaway cabin for either summer or winter. It's located in a quiet, heavily-forested area with a seasonal view of Crystal Lake through the trees. It includes high-speed Wi-Fi, live streaming television, a lovely gas fireplace, and some exercise equipment. It truly provides for a quiet and relaxing getaway to northern Michigan!


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The cabin is on the side of a hill that overlooks the south side of Crystal Lake. It's a heavily-forested area that consists primarily of very large, expensive, and secluded homes that are on Crystal Lake or overlook the lake. It's a very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing neighborhood. There is a seasonal view of Crystal Lake from the cabin through the trees. The opposite side of the road used to be Camp Crystalaire. It's no longer in existence, but the cabin is named after the camp.

The cabin is quite close to the Lobb Road boat launch on Crystal Lake, which works great if you are bringing a boat and want to use it on Crystal Lake. The driveway forms a half circle, is quite large, and there should be space for most boats and boat trailers in the driveway.

Outside of the immediate neighborhood, the home is just a few miles from downtown Frankfort, which has a charming collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a fantastic public beach on Lake Michigan and a popular historic lighthouse. The Crystalaire Cabin is also less than a 30-minute drive from both the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (to the north) as well as Crystal Mountain Ski Resort (to the southeast).

The house is also only about a 1-hour drive east to Traverse City. Traverse City is the business, arts, recreation, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of all of Northern Michigan and it provides a vast variety of bigger city things to see and do.


THE SPACE:

The cabin has 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor. Each of the bedrooms has a queen-size bed in it. There is a cute loft area that has additional beds (a full-size bed and a twin bed) and some older exercise equipment (a bike and an elliptical trainer) that guests are welcome to use.

Outside, the cabin has a half-circle driveway that is quite large and includes space for a boat / boat trailer. There is a charcoal grill available for guests to use. There is also a bonfire ring next to the house that guests are welcome to use. (Note that firewood is not provided, but is available for purchase at most gas stations and grocery stores in the area.)


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

(1) PETS: Up to 2 dogs are permitted with a paid pet fee. More than 2 dogs or pets other than dogs are strictly prohibited.
(2) CABIN NAME: The other side of the road used to be Camp Crystalaire on Crystal Lake. It is no longer in existence and is now just a heavily forested area, but this area of the lake has a rich history and the cabin is named after the camp.

    We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was lovely, and it was nice to have some board game options to get away from the Internet for a while and enjoy each other's company. The cabin was spacious and close to Frankfort so we could enjoy both Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. Crystal Lake is beautiful. Once we figured out how to get down to the dock, we loved the peacefulness of sitting out there and looking at the crystal clear water. It was really nice too to be able to bring our dogs with us. I would definitely stay in this cabin again if we came back to Michigan.

    My dog and I loved The Cabin. Very cozy and comfortable. And well positioned for all the things we wanted to do.The manager, Jean was very helpful when I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the furnace. She was always there for any problems or questions that I might’ve had.Highly recommended…

    Loved our short stay, the warmth and smell of the knotty pine and cedar interior is pure Michigan! Bed was comfy, living space was cozy for watching a movie and relaxing. Will definitely recommend.

    The place was rustic but nice. We did have to shovel our way in, the snow on the walk was fairly deep and slippery. Enjoyed our stay. VRBO always has a lot of charges that add on to the listed cost per night that are kind of annoying.

    Spent 3 days on a personal retreat in the quiet. Everything was so cozy and comfortable. Was joined by a friend on the last day and had a blast. Although small, the cabin has a very practical layout and is a great gathering place. I would love to return!
