About this cottage rental

Our cottage has a beautiful private sandy beach with sandy lake bottom too, with lots of seating and toys. Our cottage is ideal for 5 (our price is based on 6 guests) and we have had up to 11 with enjoyment for all. For sleeping we have a QUEEN SLEEP NUMBER BED in main bedroom (sleeps 2). There is a double bed with a twin top bunk in lower level bedroom with another twin under the double bed (that room will sleep 4) plus another all purpose room/bedroom with twin trundle bed (sleeps 2). We have had guests bring their own air mattresses and bedding to fit more people. We can discuss this, we are pretty much happy if you are.

Amazing view in the main living area. Galley style kitchen including cooking utensils, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, refrigerator/freezer and coffee maker. This is a small kitchen so if your interested in lots of inside cooking with room for multiple people cooking with you this might not be the kitchen for you. Table sits 6 comfortably with two tables on deck and picnic table outside. There is also a table at the deck on the beach with a large awning for shade.

We have a charcoal grill for guest and there is a cooler down at the beach for guests as well under the awning.

The deck has a fantastic view with seating.

There are lots of toys for the little one down at the beach. While supplies last... Parents must get the toys our for their child. Parents please put the toys away for the next guest. Many parents trust their children to do it and this does not work. The parents must make sure the toys are back where they belong.

For the adults there is a canoe, 2 kayaks, and blow up/float toys. (To be used at your own risk of course.) All while supplies last...

This cottage is our happy place.

We waited our entire lives to find this home on Crystal lake. It was built by a student of Francis Lloyd Wright and you can see it in his attention to detail and love he put into this house. When I walk into my cottage my troubles just seem to melt away from my shoulders. I can breathe easier. I sleep better.

I wake up in the mornings and have my coffee on the peaceful balcony and watch the quiet, calm lake and just breathe.

I make a pitcher of iced tea and take it out to the beach along with my favorite book and read until the sun tells me it's time to jump in the lake or float on my float tubes. I usually end up in the kayak or on a paddle board watching the sandy bottom go by and counting fish.

When we start to get hungry we bbq on the grill. In the evening we light a fire in the lake side fire place and make smores as we watch the sun set. Then we search for constellations and count shooting stars. Our beach is pretty private so I usually end up sneaking back into the lake for a midnight swim to cool down, float on my back and watch the stars some more. Then we go sit in the balcony for a late night glass of wine. We go to bed and get lulled to sleep by the lapping of the lake on the shore line.

The house has so much character! I felt at home. The goodie bag that the host provided was a fantastic bonus! It was in the low 70s when we visited but my kids did not care. They swam, we kayaked, we even rented a boat from the Marina down the road. Thank you Meg!

We had the best 3 days/3 nights at the lake! The deck and beach area were perfect. Our kids loved playing off the dock and in the sand. We enjoyed the kayaks too. The house is complete with all the necessities. The kitchen was stocked well and the living space was enough for our family of five to relax comfortably. We enjoyed sunsets and sunrises from the front deck. The only concern we had were cars driving fast down the road directly in front of the house. 5/5 stay!

This adorable cottage on Crystal Lake provided us with a wonderful week vacation. The beach at the property provides hours of endless fun with kayaks, paddle boards, ample lounging and eating areas. Shade and sun are available. The views from the house, deck, and beach are truly amazing. The kitchen, living, bedrooms, and bath were all super clean and equipped for anything you would need. We ate every meal outside to enjoy the stunning Crystal Lake views. If you explore the area you will find wonderful places to bike, hike and beach enjoying the outdoors. The Betsie River Trail, Empire Bluff Trail, and Point Betsie Lighthouse are just a couple of the spots we enjoyed immensely. Meg the host communicated well with us and took extra care to make sure our stay was great. The little details for comfort and charm are definitely there with this cute little cottage. We love this area and this cottage. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.
