Welcome to our cottage on the M22 corridor

Come to Our Cottage for a Summer vacation or Fall Get-a-Way. Built in 2012 our family cottage is close to the Crystal Lake Public Beach and the City of Frankfort. With four bedrooms it can accommodate up to 9 guests. The cottage comes with all appliances, cooking equipment, washer and dryer, three and a half baths, towels, bed linens, and beach towels. Main floor: Master bedroom with its own bathroom, has a queen bed, dresser, and closet. Just off the open concept kitchen, living, and dining room is a screen porch. There is a half bathroom next to the laundry room. Upstairs has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. Two of the bedrooms have a queen bed and the third bedroom has a twin and a queen bed. A dresser is in each bedroom for your use. The upstairs living room has a TV in the sitting area and a game table to do puzzles or play a game. The cottage has central air conditioning, gas cooktop, washer & dryer, TV, internet, fireplace, gas BBQ Grill, and parking for up to 4 cars. This cottage is a NO Smoking and NO Pet environment.

Located a block off M22 close to Crystal Lake and Lake Michigan. It is only three miles south on M22 to the City of Frankfort for restaurants, shopping, or a beach day at the Frankfort beach on Lake Michigan.

There are at least two public beaches on Crystal Lake:
The Village of Beulah on the east end of the lake has a nice large public beach area and you are very near restaurants and stores.

On the south shore there is another public beach, however much smaller but it does have a boat ramp for smaller boats. There's a small playground on the beach as well. Across South Shore Road from the beach is a park-like area. There is a map in the Welcome Book that will show you how to get to the Bellows Park Public Beach. It is about a mile from the cottage on South Shore Road.

Approachable Luxury Summer Vacation
The property is exceptionally high quality and beautifully maintained. The floor plan includes an open format kitchen/living/dining area, perfect for eating and socializing. The kitchen/bathrooms/and laundry room were generously outfitted with all the needed supplies, had high end appointments, and felt like home! We very much liked the location - walking distance to Crystal Beach, a bike ride away from downtown Frankfort, and convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes trails. Joanna and her team offered such kind hospitality: acknowledging our daughter's upcoming wedding with a lovely wine basket; gifting us a gift certificate to a fabulous Italian restaurant in Frankfort, and even custom thank you notes to remember our stay. We recommend this home without ANY hesitation and hope we can return.

The cottage provided a great place to hangout, before a family member participated in the Ironman. The layout was perfect for family dinner and football viewing, while she relaxed before the race. It was in the perfect location to allow for extra rest, before her race.

Fantastic in every way!
We enjoyed everything about this property! All 6 adults in our group were more than impressed. Location: only about 5 minutes from Frankfort, but in a woodsy area. Deer visited the yard more than once. The house: beautiful, with quality furnishings. Every item you could think of has been provided; attention to detail is incredible (I.e. well-equipped kitchen, with a printed guide to help you find everything). Comfortable beds. Beautiful well-functioning fireplace. Spacious, relaxing (and clean!) screened porch. Cleanliness: spotless everywhere. A great home base for all the fun things to do in the Benzie/Leelanau counties area. We would all return to this lovely home again!!

Wonderful summer vacation home!
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! This is our second summer staying here and we absolutely love it. The location is very convenient to the CSA and the lake. The home is very spacious, kitchen is well stocked, and Joanna is very accommodating and responsive. We especially loved having the fire place as this summer we had a few colder rainy days during our stay. Highly recommend! Thank you Joanna!

Fantastic place
Our family has been coming to the area for over 40 years and this is the nicest "cabin" we have stayed at in the area. Everything was extremely clean and there is plenty of space for the family to hang out, play cards, etc. It is perfectly located to enjoy all the activities the area has to offer. We will definitely be renting this property again in the future!

What a pleasure it was to spend time in this fantastic cottage! You see amazing views from every single window including wildlife very close to the house plus all the beautiful trees.

Perfect place to host a family gathering
The house is spacious, clean, and well equipped. It is nestled in the trees and has a great screened in porch. We loved the location as it was a quick drive to Frankfort public beach. We watched the sunset from there every evening. Empire Bluff and Sleeping Bear dunes were a 30 minute, scenic drive away.

Best vacation rental we’ve experienced
We’ve been coming to northern Michigan every summer for >15 years, sometimes twice a summer. We’ve stayed in hotels and houses, on the east side - Charlevoix, Boyne, Petoskey, Mackinac - and west side - Mission Bay, Onekama, Interlochen, Cadillac, Traverse City, etc. This is hands down the best hosted house we’ve stayed in. It might be the best hosted house we’ve ever rented anywhere. The house was immaculate, the organization is impressive (with cheat sheets for kitchen drawers), and the house layout is perfect. My older parents stayed in the ground floor master bedroom, and my wife and I and our 4 kids stayed upstairs. The upstairs loft had a nice TV where we watched a couple of movies. The kitchen was easy to work in. The screened porch was very nice, lots of bathrooms, excellent appliances, outdoor grill, and a wonderful location. The furniture was clean and comfortable, the beds were excellent, and the whole house felt like a real home that is lived in and well maintained. Joanna, our host, was very responsive. And she even left us some welcome gifts at check in. I look forward to the opportunity to return. Highly recommended.

Second splendid Summer
Thank you again to Joanna for thinking of EVERY detail to make our second stay in this Frankfort cottage perfect! We have stayed at many cottages in the CSA over the years but Joanna’s place is by far the most comfortable for our multigenerational family gatherings. First of all the cottage itself is so clean and spacious. There is room for folks to spread out to the screen porch for privacy but also it is spacious and well-accommodating enough for the whole gang to be very comfortable gathering out there as well. The same can be said for the front porch where we enjoyed many early morning cups of coffee. The living room couches are so comfortable you can easily fall asleep and stay asleep right there. I also used the handy work desk to catch up on some work (unfortunately). The kitchen is second to none. My son in law is a professional chef and he was very pleased with all the kitchen had to offer. We were not wanting for anything. The games provided were put to use…re-learning Chinese checkers was great fun! Then there is the location…it is such a convenient walk to both lakes. The kids enjoyed the easy walk to Crystal Lake and those with longer legs enjoy the walk thru the woods to Lake Michigan. We are definitely planning another stay at this beautiful place in the coming year(s).
