Large Crystalia Cottage along Famous M22 Vacation Corridor

Frankfort, Michigan, United States

This traditional cottage holds large families beautifully, yet can be a cozy getaway for couples. Five bedrooms sleep 12 guests. The first floor master bedroom has a queen bed, large dresser, and ample closet space; it opens off the craftsman living room. Upstairs brings three small bedrooms and a huge loft room. Two bedrooms have a sturdy single bed each, and the third bedroom holds two bunk beds (four singles). The spacious loft offers four single beds and a full-sized crib, skylights, and bead board throughout. Plenty of dresser space for an entire season of clothes. Ceiling fans serve all of the bedrooms, so even at the height of the season, the rooms stay pleasant.brbrThe new kitchen was designed for large gatherings in mind. Its farm sink and custom concrete penninsula allow you to provide for all your guests. Dishwasher and disposal make clean-up easy. Full-sized refridgerator, electric range and oven, and microwave complete the appliances. The adjacent eating area is equipped with a central table, small game table, and side buffet. Just out the back door you will find a fully screened-in porch with a long picnic table for more indoor dining and comfortable soft seating for morning coffee or evening wine. The back porch leads to a small grilling deck with a larger charcoal grill, and there is a fire ring in the back yard for s'mores and cottage night life.brbrTwo full bathrooms serve the guests, one with an enclosed shower and one with a full tub-shower combination. Unusual for this cottage area is a complete laundry room, housing a high efficiency washer and dryer and a lots of counter space for folding. brbrThe kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, screened-in back porch, and upstairs loft are new additions made ten years ago. The master bedroom, three upstairs bedrooms, and living room are all 1901 originals with the original hardwood floors, cherry trimmed windows, and oak staircase with birch log railing. Living room has a charming corner stone fireplace. Use it with the door open for a crackling fire, or close the ventilator insert and crank the output fan for an effective heat source. Ample woodpile off the front porch.brbrThe Woods Cottage is situated a block off the now-famous M22 state road that runs along some of the best property in Michigan. For pristine dunes and forests, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is right up the road. For the best shore for rock-collecting, bonfire-building, or storm-watching, Point Betsie Lighthouse is even closer. Take M22 five minutes south into the resort town of Frankfort for shopping, restaurants, ice cream, a beach day at Lake Michigan, or a beer at the popular local brewery.brbrCycling enthusiasts will find themselves enjoying the five-star, 22 mile route around Crystal Lake, starting one block out the cottage front door. We provide two double kayaks to launch at any of the many public accesses in the area, and the laundry room supplies life jackets in all sizes, from adult XL to toddler. If a daily walk or jog starts your day right, you can choose the back roads in the woods, the flat and shady M22, or the sunny South Shore Drive along clear blue Crystal. Family floats down the Betsie or Platte River can be a fun day trip. If the weather calls for inside activities, plenty of games and puzzles are provided for all ages, and the local library has a fantastic selection and view; great coffee shop across Main Street. A small tv and dvd player is situated in the cottage kitchen corner to keep little ones occupied, if needed. Free wifi is always flowing, so work can still get done.brbrThe Woods Cottage was bought and renovated for our family of six kids, plus friends. We host an annual fall retreat here, too. Our family has been vacationing at the west end of Crystal Lake for six generations. As our kids grow up, more school and sports activities tie us to our home in Grand Rapids, but our time spent in this cottage each summer is treasured the whole year through. We hope that you will find the same peace, joy, and rejuvenating rest that our family finds here within these walls.brbrFeel free to contact me with any questions about the cottage or the area. I would be glad to help.brbrEmily Brewbrbrbr

Lake MI Cottage w/105' of Private, Sandy Beach. Sept/Oct. Availability.

Frankfort, Michigan, United States

Sitting at the top of a cedar-lined bluff, this charming and secluded contemporary cottage offers open beam ceilings, a wood-burning stone fireplace, soaring views of Lake Michigan, and 105' of private-access sandy beach. Only two miles from downtown Frankfort.brbrAs you travel west toward Lake Michigan and turn onto the tree covered private drive, you'll know you've found a special place. Located on a one acre lot and over 200' from the road, this peaceful location will put you into vacation mode instantly. brbrThe home has two bedrooms located in the walkout lower level of the home with polished concrete floors. The first downstairs bedroom is equipped with a bunk bed and trundle bed (three twin mattresses). The master bedroom has french doors and large, east-facing picture windows which provide a nature view of the property. It is equipped with a queen bed with memory foam mattress. Each of the rooms has a closet with hanging storage baskets and hangers. An ironing board and iron are provided. brbrThe downstairs bathroom is a full bath with combination bathtub/shower, toilet, and double vanity. A hair dryer and first aid kit are located here. brbrUpstairs you'll find a 1/2 bath and laundry room with stacked full size washer & dryer. brbrThe upstairs bedroom is a combination bedroom/TV room, which is somewhat open to the living area/great room. Though less private, this is the largest sleeping area with both a futon and a queen-sized sleeper sofa and has beautiful lake views. brbrThe great room boasts the most dramatic lake views of the entire home and easy access to the deck. A wall of windows provide an unforgettable panorama of Lake Michigan framed by hearty cedar trees. A beautiful stone fireplace runs floor to ceiling in the center of the room, separating this area from the kitchen and dining peninsula. Note that the fireplace has been converted to a wood-burning insert/stove, with large viewing glass for a safe and smoke-free experience.br brThe galley style, eat-in kitchen includes a 36 5-burner gas cook-top, built in 30 oven, refrigerator with built in water/ice dispensers, dishwasher, and 36 stainless steel apron sink (with reverse osmosis water dispenser and garbage disposal) set in marble countertops.

Plates, bowls, silverware, pots/pans, cookie sheets, electric mixer, rice maker, bread maker, Ninja blender, electric griddle, Kurig coffee maker, french press, paper plates, paper towels, napkins, and well equipped spice rack are provided for your convenience.brbrThe beach is accessible by stairs immediately off the deck, which take you directly down to the lake (~70 feet below). The stairs are shared with only one neighbor through a longstanding agreement made by the previous owner, which we continue to honor. An alternate set of stairs is available at the public access point at the end of Grace Rd (a nice alternative if you have guests with physical limitations). brbrIf you drive an electric vehicle, Level 2 (240V) charging is available via an outdoor NEMA 14-50 (RV) plug, located within easy reach of the circle drive. With your portable charger and adapter, you'll be able to charge at (up to) a continuous 50A from this circuit allowing a quick top-off or full overnight charge for your EV. If you need a charger or adapter, let us know in advance and we will try to accommodate you.brbrLocated just 1/2 mile off of M-22; Traverse City (and the region’s 40+ vineyards), Sleeping Bear Dunes, Crystal Lake, Manistee, and Interlochen are each less than 50 minutes away. Spend the week exploring this wonderful little corner of the state or stay locally in Frankfort, the quintessential northern Michigan beach town. Though small in size, Frankfort offers a bakery, several cafes, shops, and restaurants, including Stormcloud Brewing, the local microbrewery. The city of Elberta, which sits on the opposite shore of Betsie Lake, boasts its own beach, several restaurants, and a distillery (with live music and wonderful views of Betsie Lake).brbrIf you’re into fishing, you can fish from the Frankfort pier or choose from several local charters, all with great reviews. The Betsie River is well known for seasonal fishing of steelhead and salmon, but also trout.brbrIf the wind is out of the south, surfing is quite popular on the leeward side of the pier (at your own risk). brbrThe Betsie Valley bicycle trail can be picked up just 2 miles away in Elberta and will take you into downtown Frankfort or you can ride a paved trail all the way to Crystal Lake to the north. From Crystal Lake the trails turns back to the south and will take you all the way to Thompsonville. The trail is 22 miles long in total. https://betsievalleytrail.org/trail-map/brbrMy wife and I purchased this cottage in the fall of 2018 and completely renovated the home over the fall/winter/spring of 2018/2019. New for the 2020 season is an outdoor shower and foot-wash station. The home is available as a weekly rental only, due to local ordinances, though we can accommodate shorter stays in the off-season. Please see the calendar for availability/pricing.br
