About this cottage rental

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! :)

We had a wonderful time even though the weather was on the cooler side. Great location because it is so close to Frankfort and Benzonia. The 18 foot shared beach was a bit confusing because it was not clearly marked. There was food and dust under the couch and beds, also animal hair on the sheets in the lower bunk bed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The location was perfect for exploring the area - we visited the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Arcadia Dunes, Leelanau Peninsula, Beulah, Frankfort, Traverse City, Old Mission Peninsula, and more! The large grassy area was nice for our husky to run around in, the private beach area was great for relaxing on, and we enjoyed several campfires there. Our teens enjoyed using the kayaks, and the dock came in handy when we rented a boat one day. The cabin itself was comfortable and had ample room & seating for our family, both indoors and at the beach. The kitchen was stocked with most items you'd need for basic meals, and there were plenty of bath & kitchen towels as well as paper products available. The first few days of our trip were HOT, but with the windows open at night, there was enough of a breeze to make it quite comfortable. In all, we were very pleased with the property and would definitely consider staying here again!

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!!
