The Bright and Breezy is a gorgeous newly-remodeled home right on the south shore of Crystal Lake! Outside it features a NEW PRIVATE HOT TUB, huge dock, outdoor shower, hammock, bonfire ring, water toys (including a lilypad and a kayak), backyard deck, and a propane grill! Inside the home is beautifully decorated in bright and beachy tones. Plus high-speed Wi-Fi along with live streaming tv's! The property makes for a fantastic base year-round to explore all of northwest Michigan!


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The house is along the luxurious south shore of Crystal Lake, which boasts many luxurious homes of over $1M in value. The neighborhood is primarily made up of vacation homes of professional families.

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 Bright and Breezy 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.


GUEST ACCESS:

Guest have complete access to the entire house, except for a small closet that is used by the owners for storage.


THE SPACE:

This is ALSO a great destination for winter skiing! The home is warm and cozy in the winter with an indoor wood-burning fireplace and it's only a 24-minute drive from Crystal Mountain! It includes high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple televisions with live streaming, and board games as well! Also provides a beautiful wintertime of Crystal Lake and ice fishing right across the street! The new year-round SPA / HOT TUB is also great for relaxing after a day of skiing!


TRANSIT:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.

    Very well appointed and very clean. Great lake view and quiet neighborhood. We used it as a base from which we toured the Traverse City area. There are 2 great local restaurants on M22 with outstanding customer service.

    The perfect location. Right on Crystal Lake that was beautiful and still swimmable in September. And also so close to Frankfort that it was easy to pop into town for ice cream. The house has everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, games galore, a stand up paddle board, and things we will have to come back to use, like a kayak and hot tub. Hope to return!

    My husband, 2.5 year old, and I stayed for a week in August. This was a lovely cottage! It could probably comfortably fit 3 more people. The kitchen and bathrooms were immaculate and my son loved taking a shower in the outdoor shower! Wi-Fi was great. The best part of course was the dock right outside. It was so easy for my husband to throw a fishing line out. He even caught a fish! We hope to come back one day!

    Great location for heading to many of the activities that are in the area. My kids loved the lake and they especially enjoyed the lily pad! It was a fun week of Up North activities!

    Great house with wonderful kitchen. 3 nice bedrooms. Only concern is if it is hot, only one bedroom has A/C. 90 degree weather was a struggle!

    My husband myself and our 2 friends just loved it there. All the connivence of home. Close to everything we wanted to do. And after running around all day, it was nice to come back have a small bonfire and enjoy the hot tub. We defiantly what to come back during the summer months to enjoy the lake and to see other places we didn't get to see the 4 days we were there.

    Was a bit surprised with the $20 extra charge for each additional guest after 2. Also the $500 deposit and the extra late charge for every 15 minutes that would have been charged if not checked out on time. While I get this, it seemed a little much. Place was clean n nice ghogh
