Our cottage is ideal for 5 (our price is based on 6 guests) and we have had up to 11 with enjoyment for all. For sleeping we have a QUEEN SLEEP NUMBER BED in main bedroom (sleeps 2). There is a double bed in lower level bedroom plus another all purpose room/bedroom with twin trundle bed (sleeps 2). We have had guests bring their own air mattresses and bedding to fit more people. We can discuss this, we are pretty much happy if you are. Amazing view in the main living area. Brand new open kitchen including cooking utensils, stove/oven/air fryer, microwave, toaster, refrigerator/freezer and coffee maker. This is a beautiful kitchen. I am very proud of. Bar sits 4-6 comfortably with two tables on deck. There is also a table at the deck on the beach with a large awning for shade. And a bar at the beach. We have a charcoal grill for guest and there is a cooler down at the beach for guests as well under the awning. The deck has a fantastic view with seating. There are lots of toys for the little one down at the beach. While supplies last... Parents must get the toys our for their child. Parents must put the toys away for the next guest. Many parents trust their children to do it and this does not work. The parents must make sure the toys are back where they belong. For the adults there is a canoe, 2 kayaks, All while supplies last... We store our pontoon on the dock that we use from time to time but other than that the beach is private. Please don’t let anyone on the pontoon. This cottage is our happy place. We waited our entire lives to find this home on Crystal lake. It was built by a student of Francis Lloyd Wright and you can see it in his attention to detail and love he put into this house. When I walk into my cottage my troubles just seem to melt away from my shoulders. I can breathe easier. I sleep better. I wake up in the mornings and have my coffee on the peaceful balcony and watch the quiet, calm lake and just breathe. I make a pitcher of iced tea and take it out to the beach along with my favorite book and read until the sun tells me it's time to jump in the lake or float on my float tubes. I usually end up in the kayak or on a paddle board watching the sandy bottom go by and counting fish. When we start to get hungry we bbq on the grill. In the evening we light a fire in the lake side fire place and make smores as we watch the sun set. Then we search for constellations and count shooting stars. Our beach is pretty private so I usually end up sneaking back into the lake for a midnight swim to cool down, float on my back and watch the stars some more. Then we go sit in the balcony for a late night glass of wine. We go to bed and get lulled to sleep by the lapping of the lake on the shore line.

The beachfront is ideal and private, complete with water toys and a covered patio to allow for a break from the sun on very sunny days! All in all, we loved our stay and it was the perfect cozy beach cottage! ##### Molly D.

We loved everything about this stay. First and foremost this beach is phenomenal and Crystal Lake is stunning. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable place to relax after being on the lake! They have thought of everything and the little details make a world of difference. We have visited several homes on these travel sites and this was by far the cleanest! Loved everything about it and hope to be back soon! ##### Sami M.

Sitting on the dock in the morning was incredibly peaceful. The water was shallow enough my 4yr old could play in it. There were lots of things already there like kayaks, beach toys for kiddos, board games inside - it made it easy to stay occupied. Location is close to Sleepy Bear dunes and Frankfort for dinners. Loved our stay! ##### Michelle V.

Her updates to the cottage as well as the beach are so nice. We felt very comfortable and loved sitting on the deck in the morning drinking coffee. Meg had everything you could need for making a meal in the beautiful kitchen. We spent a lot of time at the beach going in the water and just hanging out. It was quite hot when we were there and the water felt great. We appreciated the water toys for our use. The beach felt very private and we loved eating dinner on the patio by the water. Meg's cottage is a great place to stay and I would love to come back! ##### Kathy T.

The house has so much character! I felt at home. The goodie bag that the host provided was a fantastic bonus! It was in the low 70s when we visited but my kids did not care. They swam, we kayaked, we even rented a boat from the Marina down the road. Thank you Meg! ##### Carrera G.

Everything about the property was amazing - layout, amenities, location, host. Couldn’t have asked for a better host (who even texted to check on us when she got severe weather alerts!). Would come back in a heartbeat. ##### Tommy G.

The house was the perfect size and location. We had dinner on the deck almost every night overlooking the lake. The lake water was crystal clear and the beach area was pristine. Meg the owner was quick to respond to my questions. We’d drive 14 hours again to stay there!!! ##### Laura S.

Awesome views of the lake from the house deck. House had all the necessary items for a comfortable stay. Spiral stairs were a challenge to navigate with luggage and groceries. ##### Debra F.

The beach area was cozy and kept the kids entertained all day. The house was so comfortable, from the large windows and balcony to the spiral staircase. We spent the one chilly overcast day exploring the dunes and nearby towns. Driving through the tree lined roads was so much fun. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer! ##### Don P.

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Meg was available to help us and easy to communicate with. We love architecture and appreciated the unique style of the cabin. We had a blast at the private beach and had fun using the fire pit and roasting marshmallows. We also enjoyed how close the property was to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort. Looking forward to hopefully staying again. ##### Erica E. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ---
