About this property
The Bright and Breezy - Lakefront with Spa!
The Bright and Breezy is a gorgeous newly-remodeled home right on the south shore of Crystal Lake! Outside it features a NEW PRIVATE HOT TUB, huge dock, outdoor shower, hammock, bonfire ring, water toys (including a lilypad and a kayak), backyard deck, and new propane grill! Inside the home is beautifully decorated in bright and beachy tones. Plus high-speed Wi-Fi along with live streaming tv's! The property makes for a fantastic base year-round to explore all of northwest Michigan!
The house is along the luxurious south shore of Crystal Lake, which boasts many luxurious homes of over $1M in value. The neighborhood is primarily made up of vacation homes of professional families.
This is also a great destination for winter skiing! The home is warm and cozy in the winter with an indoor fireplace and it's only a 24-minute drive from Crystal Mountain! It includes high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple televisions with live streaming, and board games as well! Also provides a beautiful wintertime of Crystal Lake and ice fishing right across the street!
Outside of the immediate neighborhood, the home is just a few miles from downtown Frankfort, which has a charming collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a fantastic public beach on Lake Michigan and a popular historic lighthouse. The Bright and Breezy is also less than a 30-minute drive from both the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (to the north) as well as Crystal Mountain Ski Resort (to the southeast).
The house is also only about a 1-hour drive east to Traverse City. Traverse City is the business, arts, recreation, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of all of Northern Michigan and it provides a vast variety of "bigger city" things to see and do.

Great location for heading to many of the activities that are in the area. My kids loved the lake and they especially enjoyed the lily pad! It was a fun week of Up North activities!

Very well appointed and very clean. Great lake view and quiet neighborhood. We used it as a base from which we toured the Traverse City area. There are 2 great local restaurants on M22 with outstanding customer service.

The perfect location. Right on Crystal Lake that was beautiful and still swimmable in September. And also so close to Frankfort that it was easy to pop into town for ice cream. The house has everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, games galore, a stand up paddle board, and things we will have to come back to use, like a kayak and hot tub. Hope to return!

This house is in such a prime location for many local sights. The house is nice with really comfortable beds and pillows!!! The hot tub out back was perfect with the cool weather that we had when we were there. I would stay here again
The property was easy to find, the sleeping arrangements were great, and the hot tub was a real hit. We were close enough to Frankfort to pick up carryout and it was an easy drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing.

The house was exactly as shown. Very clean with everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect. Hot tub was added bonus. Check in was a breeze and communication with the property manager was instant. Highly recommend!

Great house with wonderful kitchen. 3 nice bedrooms. Only concern is if it is hot, only one bedroom has A/C. 90 degree weather was a struggle!

We will definitely stay here again or recommend to all.
What a great property! Included everything we could have needed. Beds comfortable, spacious, and nice upgrades. We enjoyed playing some of the family games too.
We had a great stay here! The lake and street were both quiet even though it was mid-August. We were able to relax at the cottage and enjoy the water. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The house was clean and beautiful! We didn’t get to use the lake because of weather but it looked crystal clear and beautiful at the end of the dock! Lots of room for the whole family. Loved the outdoor shower too! Great experience overall.

Thanks, Sami! Sorry about the weather, but we glad that you still had a great experience! Hope to see you again! Best wishes and God bless! :-)
My husband, 2.5 year old, and I stayed for a week in August. This was a lovely cottage! It could probably comfortably fit 3 more people. The kitchen and bathrooms were immaculate and my son loved taking a shower in the outdoor shower! Wi-Fi was great. The best part of course was the dock right outside. It was so easy for my husband to throw a fishing line out. He even caught a fish! We hope to come back one day!
