Above Crystal Lake - Hot Tub and Panoramic Views

Above Crystal Lake is more than just a place to sleep — it’s a front-row seat to northern Michigan’s natural beauty.

Highlights:

Panoramic Crystal Lake views from the living room, kitchen/dining, and screened porch

Brand-new hot tub facing the lake + firepit for starry nights

Easy boat/trailer parking with a circular drive; close to local launches

Fast fiber Wi-Fi for remote work or streaming

Bedroom A/C and a Tempur-Pedic queen for great sleep; sofa bed for extra guests

Short drive to Frankfort (salmon fishing, Lake Michigan beaches) and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

The space

This single-story, 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage blends rustic charm with modern comfort. An original fieldstone fireplace anchors the living room, while large windows frame the lake and treetops. The screened porch is the go-to spot for morning coffee and evening wind-downs.

Bedroom: Tempur-Pedic queen mattress, window A/C.

Living Room: Sofa bed, fireplace, stunning lake views

Kitchen & Dining: Fully stocked with cookware and grilling essentials for easy meals.

Bath: Fresh towels and basics provided

Out front, a hot tub overlooks Crystal Lake—perfect after a day on the water or dunes. Step into a truly dark night sky: on clear nights you can see the Milky Way, and from mid-July to late August the Perseid meteor shower puts on a show. There’s also a fire pit for stargazing nights.

For boaters & anglers

Bring the boat—our circular drive makes trailer parking simple, and you’re minutes from Crystal Lake and Frankfort launches. Anglers appreciate the quick trip to Frankfort for salmon fishing on Lake Michigan.

Whether you’re hiking Sleeping Bear Dunes, beach-hopping on Lake Michigan, chasing fall color, or settling in with a good book, this is a quiet, convenient base that feels private yet close to everything that makes northern Michigan special.
