À propos de cet hébergement

Relax and play in the blue waters of Crystal Lake

This non-smoking, two story, 2000 ft2 "cottage" has 200 feet of lakefront on the north shore of Crystal Lake. A history of pet-free and non-smoker use! A large non-smoking deck, shaded by two walnut trees, connect the outside to inside living space with abundant comfortable furniture for multiple relaxation poses. Ideal for a couple with two children and Grandparents, the house has magnificent lake views from the air-conditioned King and Queen bedrooms. A pair of twin beds in the cedar-paneled twin beds room gives the younger ones their space. A reading nook is for anyone who needs away time from the family. Give yourself a time-out Mom! The water and beach are a few feet from the deck accessed down four stone steps from a very large lawn area. Swing away on our grownup/child swing set, or watch the water or supervise swimmers from the commanding set of super-nice Adirondack chairs. The garage fits a small car and has a level 2 electric car charger which you can use no-charge! The driveway allows one other car to be parked off street.

This is a non-smoker, non-smoking, no-pets allowed property because our family members have life threatening allergies to those irritants. There is no smoking allowed anywhere in the house or on the premises. We really mean this! We respect your right to vape or smoke but you can't do it at our cottage or on our property.

We are very close friends with the neighbours and so this is a "no parties allowed" house. Quiet time is from 9 PM to 8 AM and is strictly enforced.

The ideal rental period for us due to our cleaning crew constraints is for you to check in on a Sunday, and check out Saturday. Ask us about our two week deal for 20% off!

We installed a whole house generator to make the house more secure during the occasional times that power is interrupted in Benzie County. Additionally, we have conditioned the crawlspace beneath the house and installed a dehumidifier - so no mold smell!, a common issue with lake cottages.

The spring, summer, and fall seasons are perfect times to make our Crystal Lake home your base camp for birding and wildlife watching. White-tail deer, fox and occasional otters roam the lakeside and Crystal Highlands during these quieter months. Frogs and turtles can be found in the streams and rills that feed into the lake.

The forests and hills surrounding Crystal Lake and the nearby Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore are considered a birding hotspot by Bird Watchers Digest. Pileated and other woodpeckers, nuthatches, Blue Jays and Northern Cardinals occupy the area year-round. Bald Eagles regularly soar and hunt over the lake and perch in forest snags behind the house.

Spring migration starts ramping up in April, with loons often stopping over on Crystal Lake. Many sparrows, kinglets, gnatcatchers, and warblers typically arrive mid-month. In the latter part of the month, spring raptor migration reaches its peak. See e-Bird.org and Bird Watchers Digest for Spring and Fall migration highlights for Michigan. E-Bird has logged more than 200 species at each of these birding hotspots, all located 20 minutes or less from the house: Otter Creek/Esch Rd, Elberta Marsh and Platte Point.

Although in spring, woodland areas are still not leafed out, the forest floor blooms with spring ephemeral wildflowers including bloodroot, spring beauty, hepaticas, Dutchman’s breeches, common toothwort, spring cress, red trillium, and large white trillium.

Beautiful, relaxing and great location

Crystal Lake is beautiful and the proximity to the water is very relaxing whether on the deck or playing corn hole on the lawn. Easy and quick access to a variety of attractions in the area. Great place.

Great Getaway

This home was perfectly located half way between Frankfort/Lake Michigan and the Beulah/Benzonia area. The water was crystal clear and area in front virtually rock free so it was easy to walk 20 feet out on the sandy bottom. Home has everything you could possibly need and more - we wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Great week at the lake

This property was just what we needed for our annual trip to the lake. The house was very clean and well kept - everything we needed, plus the comfort of a lake house. The house manager was so also helpful! We really liked staying ON the lake, waking up to the waves, having coffee on the deck or just watching the stars at night. Thanks for a great week!

Michigan Summer Vacation

We had a great time on Crystal Lake. The home was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Literally steps from the water with a beautiful deck overlooking the lake. Great views of the stars at night! Close to several lakeside communities, restaurants, and stores. Within miles of great hiking trails and the dunes of Lake Michigan and comfortable drive to Traverse City and vineyards. Would definitely come back again!

Second year at this wonderful home on Crystal Lake!

This was our second year at this property and our family enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time. The house is clean and inviting. Our family enjoyed spending time on the deck watching the sun sets and relaxing by the lake. The paddle boards are another family favorite for getting out on the lake and seeing its true beauty. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and this home is a great place to stay while you are exploring.

Comfortable and Spacious Lakefront Home

Birds and Bikes was a very comfortable and spacious home. There was plenty of room for our family of Six and 2 month old granddaughter. The home was very clean upon our arrival and the homeowner Mike, and property manager Nicole were easy to work with. My family enjoyed the beautiful lake views out the many windows and spent many hours relaxing on the wonderful deck. The SUP Boards were great for getting out on the water and enjoying its true beauty.

Wonderful

Great location, gorgeous views, and a clean/comfortable house. Everything worked well and is well-stocked in the kitchen—bonus points for sharp knives to cook with! The beds were comfy and I can’t overstate how clean the place is. Nicole was a pleasure to work with and super responsive. It wasn’t mentioned in the listing, but there is a no fire policy, so keep that in mind if you are hoping to bring along a fire pit. The shallow water area was perfect for kids to play and splash around.

Lake house

Clean and comfy house right on the beach front. Owner and host were quick to response to questions and provided thoughtful information with the rental. The online description was very up to date and looked exactly as we found the property on the day of arrival. Overall, a pleasant experience and stay. The lake water was warm enough to be comfortable and the beach has a shallow entry. The lake floor is a bit rough in places and I recommend water shoes, in particular for the kids. Bring some toys for the backyard.

The perfect getaway

The house and property were exactly as listed and in great condition. Our multi-generational group loved swimming in Crystal Lake, reading on the deck and in the Adirondack chairs, and grilling for dinner. The kitchen, bedrooms and living spaces were well-equipped with everything we could need. As much as we enjoyed "staying home," this property was conveniently located for trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, floating down the Platte River, and exploring Frankfort and Beulah. The hosts left helpful materials and suggestions for local eats and favorite spots. The hosts and property manager were responsive to a few issues we encountered during our stay. Even before we departed, the kids talked about next year's visit!

Perfection

It was our second year coming to this property and this visit was just as exceptional as the last. The house is perched really close to the lake, so all of the windows give a spectacular view and the sound of the lake and birds envelope the house—so easy to slip into vaca mode here! The side yard is huge and our kids had a blast running and playing in the large green space and swinging on the swings. The beach area is perfect for littles—nice and shallow, full of interesting rocks, and usually enough room to bring down some trucks and mermaids if the lake is calm. The kitchen is great to cook in, knives sharp, and plenty of room for food storage. The reverse osmosis tap produces tasty water and allows you to forego purchasing bottled water. The king bed is really comfy and everything is very clean. One of my fav features of the house is the tucked away nature of the tv area. The kids could watch a show without it having to be the center of attention for the whole family. Lastly, Nicole is the most attentive, responsive, and detail-oriented house manager we have worked with for any of our house rental experiences. We felt so cared for and having someone like that made for a lovely experience. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful time at this location and cannot say enough about how courteous, responsive, and friendly the owner and property manager are. The house was clean, kitchen well stocked, and property as a whole was beautiful. These folks thought of everything to make sure we had a great time.and could enjoy ourselves right away.

Absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed every aspect of this home. Perfect for a family of six. Beautiful and very clean, we felt right at home. We loved the large yard, swing set and of course the crystal clear water. The paddle boards were a blast. Nicole (the property manager) was very responsive and easy to work with. We loved the welcome treats that were left for us… great way to start our stay. Oh and the sunsets were just dreamy! Don’t think twice…. Book your stay. ❤️

Great getaway on an amazing lake!

Walking into the house we immediately felt at home. The house is clean, well taken care of, and has a fantastic layout. It's very warm and inviting. It's a great atmosphere to relax, unwind, and connect with family and nature. The deck is right at the edge of the lake and in such a quiet setting you can enjoy listening to the waves while taking in the amazing views. There is easy access to the water - which is amazingly clear and clean! The paddle boards provide a great way to get on the water and explore the shoreline. The sunsets are amazing! The house is in a great location. There are several towns close by worth exploring as well as sights to see like Sleeping Bear Dunes, Point Betsie Lighthouse, and many beaches on Lake Michigan. One of the best things is that while all that is close by you can have a great time just relaxing around the house. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Mike Kelly

Image de profil de l’hôte
I spent every summer of my life here to the age of 18. My grandfather, an employee of the Wabash Railroad, first took my dad and uncles to Crystal Lake in the 1920s, for family vacations. My Dad and Mom built this house as a "cottage" and then added on twice, with the latest addition in 2000. My wife Sarah and I are happy to maintain this family home and let others enjoy it. We hope to maintain great relationships with folks who want to come back year after year. Join us in this adventure year after year.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

The openness of the cottage really brings the lake to life, and in the summer, people spend a lot of time outside enjoying the water, lawn and deck. The house has a great feel and because it is lake-facing, you are constantly connecting to the water in it's various presentations from dead calm to full on stormy waves. The house is on the lake side of Crystal Drive which means that family members don't have to cross the street to have a lake experience.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

The cottage has a lot of privacy and outdoor space. It's a pleasure to be inside, looking out when the weather is stormy. The hemlock wood floors and comfortable couches, chairs and sectionals make lounging around pretty easy.
