About this house rental
Welcome to the Congregational Summer Assembly (CSA)! Step back in time to this wholesome, peaceful resort offering family events and activities. The seasonal activities are posted weekly and include arts and crafts, dancing, tennis, watersports, theater, bible studies, nature observation, area history, yoga, swimming lessons, and water aerobics. This community has multiple tennis and pickleball courts and offers private beach access to Crystal Lake and Lake Michigan.
Step inside this wooded, rustic cabin with a recent addition of a primary bedroom with a king bed, half bath, fireplace, and walk-out deck, offering a place to rest and relax. The cozy kitchen has everything you need to cook meals with a small electric oven and stovetop. The living room has a propane stove for heat and opens to a screened-in porch, which has a dining room table and additional relaxed seating. The porch is the perfect place to sit for meals between activities, play games, read, or build puzzles. Take the stairs up to the loft where the second floor has been sectioned into 3 sleeping areas-2 with queen beds, and 1 with twin bunks. Open the windows to appreciate the sounds of nature and the gentle evening breezes.
From the house, you can walk or drive to all the fun on the property. Time moves slower here and the opportunities for enjoyment are endless. The exclusivity of activities to just the residents and their guests throughout the summer allows for new friendships to be made. During your weeklong stay you will make many memories and it may become your groups annual summer vacation tradition.

wonderful rustic house in a great location
5.0
The location is fantastic! If you are not familiar with the Congregational Summer Assembly (CSA), it is an association of cottages established in 1918. There is a common activity building, tennis/pickleball courts, a private beach area on Crystal Lake, private beach access to Lake MI, and daily activities (tennis, swim lessons, crafts, etc.). The cottage is within walking distance of both Lake MI and Crystal Lake, which makes for the ultimate MI lake vacation. It is a 30-minute drive to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, which is filled with hikes with amazing views of Lake Michigan from high on the bluffs.
The cottage is rustic (e.g., no drywall in the place), but was very clean. If you are looking for luxurious or modern accommodations, you might want to look elsewhere, but this suited my family just fine. The beds were comfortable. If you are into cooking, it may be helpful to know that the kitchen is quite small with a diet-sized refrigerator and skinny stove. However, there is a grill! This wasn’t mentioned in the listing, so we were delighted to find one. There a plenty of places to sit in the cottage, but the furniture could use a little updating. The house provided plenty of linens, but you will need to have other household supplies upon arrival—soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags (there were no “starter supplies”).
Again, if you are looking for a fantastic location and a clean (but basic) cottage, we highly recommend this place!
