Au-dessus du lac Crystal - Jacuzzi et vues panoramiques

Escape to this serene hilltop cottage with sweeping views of Crystal Lake, five minutes to downtown Frankfort. Rustic yet comfortable, it keeps its original charm while offering a few modern touches so you can truly unwind in nature.



Inside, enjoy an open living area with the original fieldstone fireplace and large windows framing the view. Cozy bedroom has a new queen Tempur-Pedic mattress and A/C. Outside, you will find a hot tub with an incredible view overlooking Crystal Lake.



Guests love the spacious screened porch — perfect for morning coffee, reading, or watching the sunrise and moonrise over the lake. It’s an inviting outdoor living space, rain or shine. Step outside to enjoy a fire under a star-filled night sky.



Boaters will appreciate the circular drive with ample trailer parking and quick access to several nearby boat launches.



This cottage is an easy base for exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Our host and caretaker (my father) led interpretive programs there for more than four decades, helping design many of the programs and places you can experience today. He’s happy to share insider tips so you can make the most of your visit.



Fall here is stunning, but the cottage is seasonal with limited insulation and baseboard heat in the living room and bedroom. To enjoy Northern Michigan’s cool autumn days, bring warm layers and cozy slippers.



Whether your days are filled with dune hikes, fishing trips, fall color tours, or simply sitting quietly with a book, this cottage offers a peaceful base that feels both private and connected to everything that makes Northern Michigan special.
