Lake Escape - PRIVATE LAKEFRONT WITH KAYAKS, DOCK, AND BEACH BONFIRE RING!

Lake Escape is a very bright, fun, and charming little house on Crystal Lake! It includes its own private beach, bonfire pit, and 2 kayaks right on Crystal Lake! The private beach is also a sandy beach, which is rare for Crystal Lake. The location provides for lots of fun on Crystal Lake including swimming, sailing, kayaking, and fishing. It's also set in a great location for exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, Lake Michigan, and the charming little beach towns of Leelanau Peninsula.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The home is located on the fabulous north shore of Crystal Lake, which consists primarily of very high-end vacation homes, many of which are valued at over $1 million. The home is on legendary M-22 as it travels along Crystal Lake, so it makes for a great location for not only exploring Crystal Lake, but also taking M-22 north up into the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and exploring the fun and charming beach towns of the Leelanau Peninsula. The home is less than one-half of a mile from Rock's Landing, which is a lovely and very private high-end restaurant that is right on Crystal Lake and allows for dining right on the lake!

Outside of the immediate neighborhood, the home is just a few miles from downtown Frankfort (to the south), which has a charming collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a fantastic public beach on Lake Michigan and a popular historic lighthouse.

Lake Escape is also just 2.7 miles from Old Indian Trail and the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (to the north). Thus, it makes for a great location for hiking, cross-country skiing, kayaking, tubing, and exploring all of Sleeping Bear Dunes!

From the house, Traverse City is also only about a 1-hour drive to the east. Traverse City is the business, arts, recreation, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of all of Northern Michigan and it provides a vast variety of "bigger city" things to see and do.


THE SPACE:

This is a 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath single level home that is about 1000 square feet in size. The home is beautifully decorated with a nautical and beachy theme throughout the home.

There are great views of Crystal Lake from the living room, the dining room, and one of the bedrooms. The home also has a wonderful wrap-around deck with lakeviews from the deck as well.

The home also has high-speed Wi-Fi and multiple televisions with live streaming via Roku. Hulu, HBOMax, NetFlix, PureFlix, and Disney+ are all included.


TRANSIT:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

The road (Crystal Drive) runs between the house and the lake. This may be a concern for families with small children.
