About this house rental

On a private lot our fully furnished 3 bedroom home is located on the South Shore of Crystal Lake. We are situated in a quiet area where bird watching and wildlife are at a premium. It comfortably sleeps 8 people and has 2 full baths, a loft and spacious living areas on the upper and lower floors with a fully equipped kitchen. It is beautifully finished in knotty pine trim, with all the modern conveniences. The upstairs living area was recently remodeled with new flooring throughout and the kitchen area has new granite counters and all new stainless steel appliances. You can enjoy the beautiful 175' public beach one mile down the road and take advantage of its boat launch (Jet skis welcome!), shaded picnic area, swings for the kids, and restrooms. Gorgeous Lake Michigan beaches at Frankfort, Beulah and Elberta are less than 10 minutes away. M-22 is close by and offers access to Pointe Betsie Lighthouse, Empire, Glenn Arbor, Leland and Sleeping Bear Dunes. There are 7-8 golf courses in the area as well as hiking and biking on the Betsie Valley Trail in addition to tubing and canoeing down the Platte River. Drive the beautiful M22 for wine tasting and shopping. All in all we are in a great location for a myriad of activities and sights!

Andi, our host, couldn't have been nicer. She lives on an adjacent property and was always available for the least issue. We were four adults and two teenagers and everyone had their space. The older teenager especially loved the loft! Frankfurt has a lovely beach and is near several beautiful areas, including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Loved the area.

The Treehouse was perfect for our trip to Michigan. It is situated in a quiet location but is close to the many sites and events in the area There was four of us and everyone had plenty of room and space to be together or to spend some time alone. The house is well equipped and there is a lovely deck in the back where we could eat , drink coffee or just relax. The owner was very attentive to our needs. We would recommend the Treehouse to anyone traveling in the area.

We loved our stay at The Treehouse. Andi was so kind and accommodating. She lives on the property but only ever saw her if she happened to be out walking her cute puppy. There was plenty of space for everyone. We loved how close it was to everything. Our 4 year old loved the bunk beds and loft especially. We will always keep this spot in mind for future trips!

A very clean and well-maintained property. It was quiet and comfortable with a more modern feel. The property owners were very kind. They do live nearby; however, I would like to emphasize that the property is very private. You can't see neighboring homes from any of the windows or deck. To get to the property, the drive is up a steep hill from the lake. This was an awesome morning walk to and from the lake every morning (to South Shore Drive). The public beach is barely three minutes away which worked out great. Frankfort was ~6 minutes away, Point Betsie Lighthouse was ~9 minutes away, Empire Beach ~30 minutes with Sleeping Bear about 35-40 minutes away. As a 20+ year annual Crystal Lake visiting family, this was a top-notch experience at a very nice property.

The Treehouse was a great little house with nice wooded views. It had everything we needed and it was easy to get to Frankfort beach and everywhere else we wanted to go. We'd stay again!

Quiet and comfortable home great for our family get together with 3 generations. Very close to the lake and a mile from the public beach and boat launch. The owners are super nice and good to work with and the cabin has lots of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang out and relax. Lots of things to do in the area make this a great choice for an extended family to gather.

We all loved the location and the quietness of the property. Lots of golf and shoreline nearby. Pets allowed was a big item in our list. So much to do and the host was top notch. If you needed a sandwich bag or shampoo it was there and you did not have to run all over. They had a beautiful windows that looked out into the woods. We did not notice right away but realized a power washer on the outside of the windows to remove bugs and spider webs would have been great. The house was very comfortable and clean overall and we would come back for sure. The BBQ was gassed up and clean and ready to use. Thanks for the great trip and a wonderful experience.

We loved our stay at Andi and Jerry's beautiful cabin in the woods. It was very comfortable and very quiet! We had plenty of space to spread out. We loved our walks along Crystal Lake with our dogs and Lake Michigan was only a few minutes away. The weather was cool but we had plenty of fun things to do while we were there! Andi and Jerry were excellent hosts!

We really had an awesome vacation staying here. The house was actually larger than we expected. Three bedrooms and a loft. There were plenty of amenities and a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evening. The area is very pretty and very close to the beautiful Crystal Lake. It was also close to Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We fell in love with Frankfort and the Lake Michigan beach there. Lots of things to do in the area. The hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful with providing different recommendations.

Beautiful area so many places are nearby for things to do. Lots of awesome crystal blue water and pretty sandy beaches. Lake Michigan and crystal lake are a hidden gem.Only draw backs were that the cottage could use some updating. Wonderful time spent with our family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Andi and Jerry's well-provisioned FishLips cottage in the trees. Very private and quiet setting with convenient access to Crystal Lake, Frankfort, and Lake Michigan less than ten minutes by car. Only suggestions would be to include photos on the VRBO page for the lower living area (which was a very pleasant place to spend time on hot days) in addition to the downstairs bedroom photo. Also, we had a couple of cold nights and the gas line was not hooked up to the furnace, so no heat was available. Andi provided extra warm blankets but we would have preferred heating. Finally, more towels and washcloths would have been greatly appreciated. Thanks for offering this cottage for rent!

It’s behind the main cabin with no view. Its in the woods sure enough but you share a lot with the owners. I should have known better because photos are not quite on the level . Close to lake but lake has swimmers itch . Frankfort close by. Sleeping Bear dunes. Price too high for what you get.

The owner went to a lot of trouble to make sure we had good information about the house and excellent tips for exploring the area, including secluded beaches and restaurant information. We did not encounter "swimmers itch" in the water at Crystal Lake even though we swam there almost every day, and believe the problem to be under control. However, we had not anticipated the beauty of Lake Michigan which was a very pleasant surprise. The water was warm enough for swimming as it was late July and we did so every day. The house is located on a hilltop and there was almost always a breeze so no need for air conditioning. It was a quiet, restful home, well situated to accommodate parents, two adult sons and one well behaved dog. The ability to bring the dog was very important and one of the reasons we chose this property. I was grateful the house did not smell like any previous pet visitors! Note that to get to the public beach on Crystal Lake or into Frankfort you do have to drive. Parking was easy once there, and just a few minutes in the car. We had a fun stay!

Andi and Jerry, the owners, live next door. They are lovely and quick to respond but don’t interfere or crowd their guests. The cottage is literally in the trees and there isn’t a lake view, but it’s a quick drive or short walk to multiple public beaches on turquoise Crystal Lake. There are multiple hiking opportunities in Sleeping Bear Dunes, river kayaking or floating, and a beautiful Lake Michigan beach in Frankfort just a few miles away. The Treehouse is a perfect location to explore activities to suit everyone. Two definite pluses are that there are few mosquitoes and dogs are allowed. Three generations of our family had a great time and would definitely be thrilled to go again!

We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We had adequate space for the seven of us. The downstairs was somewhat musty, even with the dehumidifier, but the upstairs was very plesant.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Tree House. Very peaceful and plenty of room. Also near enough (a short drive) to Frankfort center when things got too quiet.

We enjoyed our time at the tree house. Owners are friendly and are easily reached when there is a need. Wished we had little kids, the tree house room is so cute. We always appreciate having a place where we can bring our dog. Of course the area is beautiful and location is situated between two cute towns. Highly recommend.
