The Crystal Lake House

Enjoy 60’ of private Crystal Lake frontage with crystal-clear water and a dock designed for easy access—ideal for swimming, boating, and fishing on one of Northern Michigan’s most beautiful lakes.

The dock features an extended patio area at the end, creating a natural space for lounging, swimming, and spending time directly over the water—whether it’s morning coffee, afternoon sun, or evenings by the lake.

The shorelinehas a natural, firm entry, with the lake bottom transitioning to sand just beyond. Most guests prefer entering the water from the dock, where the swimming experience is the easiest and most enjoyable.

Above the lake, the cottage now features a new two-tier deck with premium outdoor furniture, designed for gathering, dining, and relaxing throughout the day. It creates a seamless connection between the home and the water, with multiple spaces to enjoy the lake views.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage sleeps 9 and is set up for classic Northern Michigan lake living, with a queen upstairs. Downstairs features a double bed, bunk room (twin + twin bunks), and a full-size pull-out sofa.

Spend your days on the water, grilling by the lake, or relaxing around the fire pit in the evening. A 2-person kayak is included for exploring the shoreline.

The Betsie Valley Trail runs directly through the property, and you’re just minutes from downtown Beulah, several top golf courses, and a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Private lakefront, dock-centered access, and elevated outdoor living—this is a place designed for time on the water and returning year after year.

    Property is in an ideal location right across from the bike path and very small, light traffic road from the lake. Private beach area with fire pit was great for hanging around, reading or just enjoying the great weather we had. Check-in process could have been communicated a little better but was cleared up with a quick phone call. The beds were comfortable but small. I would recommend going up a bed size in the upstairs and larger of the downstairs bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. The dining/TV room had a great view of the lake and we spent most of our indoor time there. Very conveniently located to Beulah for going out for meals. Stayed there for the Michigan Ironman in Frankfort and it was convenient for getting to the Athlete Village area in downtown Frankfort (about a 10 minute drive). All in all, a great place to stay, highly recommend it for summer and/or Ironman visits

    We loved our long weekend at Crystal Lake! Everything was as expected, and we were grateful to be able to bring our dogs. Our two families enjoyed the lake, walking/biking path & nearby outdoor fun.

    It is a gorgeous place and the property owners are the best. Her parents leave next door and they are very accommodating and super nice. There was an issue with the AC and we mentioned that to the owners. It didn’t take more than a few hours that a technician showed up to fix it.
