About this cottage rental

Nestled in Crystal Lake, this attractive cottage for $385 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Two bedroom, one bath, comfortable and peaceful...This cottage is ideally situated on the South shore of Crystal Lake, about halfway (5 min. drive) from either Frankfort or Beulah. It has 82 feet of beautiful, private beach, large dock with platform, boat hoist, and is a short boat ride (or even paddle) to the sand bar. This is a quiet neighborhood of small cottages, and there are no roads to cross between the cottage and beach. (Please note that the map is incorrect in showing a road between cottage and beach). This cottage offers lots of privacy, tucked into woods on a few sides where you may observe deer or foxes. There is a lovely deck on front with an amazing view directly onto the large lawn, beach, and lake. There is a fire pit (on beach) and gas grill (outside cottage) as well as a wood-burning stove. Lots of outdoor space for kids (and adults!) to run and play or relax and unwind. Indoor space is cozy and comfortable, making even rainy days enjoyable for games, reading, or movies. It's a place for enjoying the best of the simple life and making memories to last a lifetime! (And, for modern convenience, it has internet and Hulu/Amazon/Netflix etc. enabled t.v. and DVD player). The surrounding area has so much to offer with many outstanding restaurants, bike and hiking trails, summer concerts and festivals, water sports, etc. There are beautiful public beaches on Lake Michigan as well as many pristine inland lakes and rivers for floating or paddling. This area has been recognized for many outstanding features that are easy and scenic drives, such as the Sleeping Bear Dunes (most beautiful place in America), Moomers Ice Cream (Best ice cream), numerous wineries, breweries, and distilleries, and local businesses (check out Gwen Frostic and Cherry Republic, for a couple examples). We'd be happy to help provide suggestions specific to your preferences. It's a place where you can do as much, or as little, as you'd like to create your perfect vacation. ** Please note: This beach/lawn is actually about 100 feet wide. 82 feet (including dock, firepit, shed, water toys, chairs, etc.) are private and exclusively for use of the blue cottage tenants/renters. An additional 18 feet on the Eastern side, accessed by a landscaped path on the same side, is an easement access for 2 other cottages (owners and 1 other neighbor). Easement access is limited to walking to/from the lake and/or sitting with separate chairs on that 18 feet. Renters are also welcome to use this 18 feet to enjoy the full 100 or consider it a "neighboring beach" and enjoy the other 82! :)

This property was perfect for our family. It was just as described and how others noted it had everything needed. Our boys enjoyed playing in the yard and swimming. Close to many activities. Highly recommend!

This was my second visit to the Little Blue Cottage and I hope there will be many, many more!!! The setting of the cottage overlooking Lake Crystal couldn’t be more peaceful and picturesque.

Thank you for another wonderful week at Blue Cottage! We had some iffy weather to start but made the most out of day trips to Glen Arbor, Traverse City, and Empire and then enjoyed the rest of the week on the boat when the weather warmed up. This rustic cottage might be small in size but sure packs the punch in delivering a mighty vacation week! Thanks again!!

This place is adorable and back off the main road and right up against Crystal Lake. But there's also the boats (!) that come with the property: three kayaks, a canoe, and a paddleboat. All there for you to use during your stay. And then the Shed o' Endless Wonders, which includes paddles, life jackets, rafts, beach toys, marshmallow roasting sticks, tiki torches. And a hammock. It's an entire vacation's worth of stuff in one spot. We (my wife and I, two-year-old son, and dog) had a great time here, even though the weather was a bit chilly. Definitely want to come back in the years to come.

We had a great vacation while at this property. Crystal Lake is truly crystal clear and the home is tidy and well kept. Our family of five (three teens) and medium sized dog managed just fine even with it being as compact as it is. The large yard, beach, and long dock were also well appreciated. We played outdoors during the day and enjoyed streaming movies and shows on the TV at night. We enjoyed visiting the surrounding towns as well as the Sleeping Bear Dunes that is less than an hour away. Fishing was not as good as other lakes we have gone to, but that may have been the time of year or our amateur methods. Overall we had a great stay at this property and would recommend it to others.
