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 have complete access to the entire house, except for a small closet that is used by the owners for storage.
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!
It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.
This property is one of the best we have stayed at. Truly enjoyed ourselves and will return.
For a lake front cottage, this place is open and feels like plenty of room. Even on a chilly or rainy day, we would be content inside with the fireplace and 2 large tables. One could be used for puzzles or games. The sitting area with the comfortable sectional set this cottage apart, as did the hot tub! Would certainly stay here again in the summer or fall!
My husband and I stayed here after our wedding for a couple of days. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty’s of up north!
It was perfect for our family. It was very comfortable and clean. Would definitely rent again. Easy to talk to rental manager with any issues.
Crystal Lake is just beautiful & this cottage is awesome! We had so much fun and just had time to relax & unwind.
What a great property! Included everything we could have needed. Beds comfortable, spacious, and nice upgrades. We enjoyed playing some of the family games too.
We had a great stay here! The lake and street were both quiet even though it was mid-August. We were able to relax at the cottage and enjoy the water. Thank you!
Of all the places I have stayed, this may be the most comfortable. The sofa, bed, pillows, sheets. The kitchen, the coffee, the grill, etc. It was a wonderful home. The lake is truly Crystal clear. I was sorry that we weren't able to stay longer.
This house is in such a prime location for many local sights. The house is nice with really comfortable beds and pillows!!! The hot tub out back was perfect with the cool weather that we had when we were there. I would stay here again
We had myself and my husband and our 4 kids, and this was the perfect place for us! The house was beautifully renovated, clean, and very well-stocked with linens, dishes, cleaning supplies, water toys, board games, everything you could need! Beds were super comfy. The kids loved the private dock and fire pit. And the location can’t be beat! We found so much to do in the area: shopping/dining in Frankfort, climbing Sleeping Bear Dunes, touring Point Betsie lighthouse, watching a drive-in movie at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In. We spent many afternoons swimming and kayaking in Crystal Lake, and evenings playing board games or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Wonderful place to make family memories!
An AMAZING property. Older cottage that has obviously just been completely renovated with new everything from paint and flooring to appliances, kitchen, beds, all furniture inside and out as well as high quality kitchen set up with EVERYTHING you could need! The place was pristine and all the lovely touches of fully stocked coffee bar, full spice rack and cleaning products made it a delight. We definitely will be looking forward to another stay here.
