Built in 2015, Fern Hill is a modern cabin on a private drive with a cozy yet open-to-nature feel. Situated upon a ridge on five acres of heavily wooded property, it offers privacy as well as a stunning view of Crystal Lake. It is not uncommon to see deer, turkey, woodpeckers, owls, and other wildlife on the land.

Comfortably sleeping six people, the cabin has two private bedrooms and a roomy loft, all with queen-sized beds. A futon in the loft may be used for a seventh sleeper. The master bedroom has an attached full bath. A second full bath is also located on the main floor.

It has a fully-equipped modern kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and electric appliances. The dining table comfortably seats 8. A washer, dryer, and DVD player are available. Also offered are:
• A fire pit for sunset bonfires (with wood provided)
• A large front deck
• An outside grill
• Beautiful lake and woodland views
• Nearby public access to beaches and marinas
• Five-minute drives to Frankfort or Beulah
• The Betsie Trail for hiking or biking (access within 1/4 mile)

Please note that there is no internet, cable, or satellite TV. This is an off-the-grid modern cabin that is fantastic for enjoying the finer moments in life. If internet is needed, the public library in Frankfort is wonderful, as is the internet speed at Stormcloud Brewing in Frankfort and Five Shores Brewing in Beulah. Cell reception is also very good for Verizon and T-Mobile.

We are proud of our reputation for cleanliness. Please be assured we use FDA-approved antiviral, antimicrobial, and natural cleaning products. We also schedule a vacancy of at least a full day between guest stays.

This is our dream home, waiting for our full retirement. Until then, enjoy it! May it bring you pleasant memories and good experiences.

    Beautiful home located about 10 minutes from Frankfort, MI on a private road. Check in was easy. The hosts did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome including an activity book with menus. Easy access to Frankfort, Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake. Sleeping Bear Dunes are about 50 min away. We had 6 adults and a baby- plenty of room,

    Beautiful well maintained property in the hills of south shore Crystal Lake. Stunning lake view awaits you from the expansive deck. Perfect location between Beulah and Frankfort.

    This is a beautiful home high on a hill across from Crystal Lake up a short gravel drive. The home is the perfect lake cottage with a beautiful view. Well appointed with everything you need for a stay and more. We stayed here in September for my husband to participate in the Ironman race in Frankfurt. The home was in a perfect location to get back and forth for the activities. We really enjoyed the easy access to all the nearby towns and restaurants. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed when we prepared meals. If you want to enjoy the Crystal Lake/Frankfurt area this is the perfect place to stay.

    We all appreciated the lovely landscape, accessible location and thoughtfully cared for property. The quiet site was restful and offered a great spot to launch day trips, hang out in and return to after a day on the beach, dunes, or in local communities. Small issue worthy of note, the upstairs couch/futon is a single, not a double bed.

    This property was very conveniently located with an amazing view of Crystal Lake peeking through the trees from the living room. The house was clean and having access to the washer and dryer was nice. If coming with more than four people, I would recommend bringing extra towels/rags as the host only leaves four sets.

    We had a wonderful stay at this property during a long weekend visiting friends from college and spending time at Crystal Lake and the Frankfort Beach. The home was perfect for our three kids, my wife, and myself. The house had up-scale amenities (I enjoyed the coffee mugs) and a gorgeous view of Crystal Lake from the big living room window. The beds were also very comfortable.
