Crystal Lake Waterfront Cottage with Private Dock, Yard, & Hot Tub

This vacation rental is located on the northside of Crystal Lake 3 miles from downtown Beulah. You and your guests are sure to enjoy the 110 feet of private frontage directly on the lake with a large and deep side yard; plenty of space for kids and guests to play games and enjoy the views. A fire pit and Adirondack chairs are close to the water and a perfect spot to watch the beautiful sunsets over the Lake while enjoying a fire by the water. The house is a short drive from Frankfort and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. A 40 minute drive to Traverse City is a great way to spend a rainy day! An abundance of beautiful, public golf courses are a stone’s throw away for the golfers in your group, and Crystal Mountain for those who prefer a spa day or a day at the pool for the little ones. A long dock with a swimming platform at the end is the perfect place to relax in the sun and cool off in the water. Water toys for guests include 2 new single sit on top kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and a hot tub that will seat 6. Additional items include use of lifejackets, free Wi-Fi, TV w/ sound bar, bath towels, and linens, a gas and a charcoal grill, and a clothes dryer. There is also a basketball hoop, bocce ball set and games and puzzles to enjoy.

Wonderful cabin / Great location
We had a great time; lake was so clear and beautiful. The small-town feel was just what we were looking for. Close enough for some adventures in Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. The owner was available for any questions we had and left a nice little welcome gift. The bathhouse worked out great for an extra shower room. We would love to stay again in summer when water is warm enough to go in. 7 of us fit comfortably in this house.

Great place to get away and have some fun!
We just completed a bachelor party weekend at this property, and had an absolute blast. The owners were super communicative and left us a nice welcome package when we arrived. We made fires, enjoyed the hot tub, played ladder golf, and swam in the lake. The location is 20/30 minutes from the big hits - the dunes, glen arbor, and empire, so excursions are super easy. Will definitely be looking to return in the future!

Fantastic Stay at the Clough Cottage
We had a truly lovely family visit at the Clough Cottage on Crystal Lake. The kayaks, SUPs, hot tub, and basketball court provided constant fun for our family and the nieces/nephews visiting from adjacent Frankfort. The extra lawn space was also great fun for outdoor activities. You can also find shade to relax during every point in the day, and the hammock was always occupied. Crystal Lake is beautiful and very shallow until way out. Jamie was just lovely to work with, super accommodating, and the welcome basket a wonderful touch of kindness.

Great Place!!
We had a wonderful time! In my opinion, pictures don’t capture how great of a cabin and location it is. The cabin was very clean and very good communication with the owners. Would love to come back!

Second time staying here and it's perfect for us. The location is top notch both on the lake and in the area. The hosts are great and well... it's a repeat trip for us which pretty much sums it up!

Property is comfy and location is prime!
Although hard to convince yourself to leave comfortable lakeside living, the location is central to charming villages and day hikes/ walks that include breathtaking views and intriguing history. We loved the quiet, the expansive dock, the entertainment provided by talented water skiers and sharing parts of the day with flying and furry friends of all shapes and sizes on the feeder.
