About this property

Crystal Lakefront Cottage

Welcome to the cottage on Crystal Lake, Michigan. The location is wonderful: on the south shore of Crystal Lake, in a cove near the outlet, nicely out of the way of motorboats. The cottage is right on the water about 20 feet from the lakeshore; there is no road or path between the cottage and Crystal Lake.

There's a lovely view of the lake from either the patio, the screened porch, or through the windows of the room facing the lake. A dock with stairs allows easy access to the water for swimmers, and there are kayaks which can be put in from the lakeshore. If you bring a boat it can be tied up just offshore. The house is fully furnished and has three bedrooms, beds for eight, two full baths, plus an outdoor shower. There is a full kitchen with electric appliances.

The village of Beulah is within walking distance down a rails - to - trails path, while Frankfort and Elberta are bike-able down the same path in the opposite direction (several bicycles are at the cottage, they are nothing to brag about but they are safe). There is parking for four cars and a NEMA 14-50 240 volt outlet near the parking area for recharging electric cars.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Baird

Host profile image
The cottage property has been in our family for many years, the third generation of the family continues to spend weeks there in the summer and it has been the setting for many amazing memories. We wouldn't call the cottage fancy, but it's warm and inviting, and set on of the most beautiful and enjoyable spots on the lake. In addition to enjoying the setting, there are many fun things to do in the region, from good restaurants, to lazy rivers, to massive sand dunes, to afternoons spent in town or exploring the coasts.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located on a short, dead - end road which is good for a casual stroll or letting beginning bicyclists get stress - free practice. The road is lined with summer cottages, and they are often humming with activity in the summer. Just past the cottage's own road is Mollineaux Road, which provides easy access to the Betsie Valley Trail, a rails - to trails project which connects Frankfort, Elberta, and Beulah. The trail is good for walking, biking, and jogging.

What makes this property unique

Many of the cottages on Crystal Lake have a path or even a road between the dwelling and the lake. Our cottage does not - it is right on the water. It has a double lot, which provides extra space for lawn games (or hammocks!).
