About this property

We are a VRBO Premier Host that caters to families looking to make memories and hopefully come back year after year. Families that book with us this year will have the first opportunity to book for the following summer

The home has just gone through significant updating in the kitchen and lower living room areas. The home is fully equipped and all new appliances. The home is only a couple hundred feet from the waters edge and shared gathering area. There is also a larger beach area a couple minutes up the road.

The home is approximately 3100sq ft, 4 bedroom/sleeping quarters, 3 full and 1 half baths. The main floor bedroom has a queen bed. The 2nd floor bedroom has a king bed and small sitting area and its own full bathroom. There is a small walkout balcony off the sitting area as well. This room has a spiral staircase that leads to the 3rd story loft. The spacious loft has a queen bed, sitting area, and half bathroom. There is also a private deck off of this area to enjoy your morning coffee. The bunkhouse room is the biggest of all the sleeping quarters and is great for kids. The bunk house has 2 queen beds, a triple twin bunk beds (kids LOVE it) and a loft with a full. There is a foosball table, xbox and tv to keep everyone entertained. The bunkhouse has its own full bath. There is also a 240volt outlet at the driveway to charge an EV.

The town of Frankfort is about 5miles from us. It has a terrific beach and is a great place to watch the sunset. Frankfort has some cute local boutiques for shopping and a mix of different restaurants.

If you are not familiar with the Frankfort area, you will find that there is something for EVERYONE. Crystal Mountain is 15min from us and offers great golf and winter skiing. The best golf course in the state, Arcadia Bluffs, is a short 20min drive. Sleeping Bear Dunes (rated one of the best national parks in the US) is 30-40 min drive. The are miles of nature hiking/biking trails. Lighthouses. Sand Dunes. So so much to do. Our home has 4 kayaks with life vests for you to use. Currently we have 4 adult sized Trek and Cannondale bikes for you to use and 2 youth sized ones. You must bring your own helmets.

Did I mention Crystal lake is absolutely breathtaking? It is the 9th largest lake in Michigan. It is amazingly clear and blue. It offers great fishing and is 1 of only 2 lakes in Michigan with a sustained coho salmon population. There is a DNR boat launch a mile up the road and a small marina on the lake to gas up during your stay. Our home is approximately 250ft from the lake. Mollineaux beach is less than a mile from the home.

Our focus is families and making year over year memories. "Party" groups need not apply. Extra guests (guests not declared on the booking information) are not permitted and can be grounds for cancelling the remainder of the booking without refunds. We love our neighbors and respect the peace and tranquility of the area.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Great family getaway.

This property was perfect for our group of 10. The house was very roomy and clean. The location is great close to public beaches and town, also just a short walk to the lake. We got a lot of use out of the kayaks that were provided. Would highly recommend this property.

Perfect for families

This place was awesome. I'll start with the hosts. They communicated everything up front making sure we could easily get into the house. Once we got there we were amazed with all the space and how spread out we felt. The kids could play in their section of the house while the adults hung out in the spacious and fun kitchen area or living room. We had a huge living room with multiple couches for family movie nights. The spacious backyard was great for the kids to have snow ball fights and make snowmen. We also had more than enough space for beds with very comfortable sleeping accommodations. We plan on returning for a summer trip and definitely plan on going back for future ski trips. Highly recommended.

Large & Lovely House on Crystal Lake

This was our first time vacationing at any lake- Crystal Lake is immaculate! I am not a lake person, but I wanted to visit a friend who lives there. I can’t say enough- how much I loved this lake town and all of its offerings! The lake is ridiculously clean, not crowded, and Crystal clear in many spots! The house is a VERY SHORT walk to the lake (maybe 100 feet away). The house is MUCH LARGER than one would expect from the photos- much more room than we needed for our family of 5. I believe there were 10 beds- unless I missed a pull out sofa! The kitchen was lovely and fully stocked with every tool, appliance, and cleaning product needed! The TV family room had a huge cozy sectional couch with a large TV that had every type of streaming service available! There were numerous TVs throughout the house. Laundry room was ready to go with pods, dryer sheets, etc. There were a lot of beach towels, propane BBQ and hibachi grill outside, toys & games everywhere to use, and 4 cool kayaks with life vests! The host was extremely helpful, super nice, easy to contact, and stocked this house with everything one could need for a comfortable-relaxing vacation. The only thing I was not prepared for (lack of lake knowledge is to blame) was the septic system water. It has a “unique” smell- which is normal- but it is not harmful or dirty. Plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, and shops nearby. I was even able to Instacart (delivery service) groceries to the house— which is a huge plus for me! We plan to go back to make more MICHIGAN MEMORIES! Many thanks to the host, John, for helping us have a wonderful family vacation!

As adverised

Good communication. Easy to get in to. Mostly neat and clean. Didn't use all of the amenities (electronics). The WiFi was reliable. Kitchen had all we needed to prepare meals. Short walk down the shared road to the public access. Not busy .... while we were there.
