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.

What a lovely, cozy cottage for a week in paradise! We loved the location, the view, the furnishings and of course, the hot tub. We hiked local trails, watched sunrises and sunsets, enjoyed campfires, listened to birds, played games and celebrated our daughter's birthday. We cooked all but one of our meals and found everything we needed for easy and efficient meal prep. Made the best berry crumble in lieu of a birthday cake and found the perfect baking dish to bake it in. There was even a pot big enough to cook a dozen ears of corn! (and a colander to rinse things). The host is very responsive to questions and helpfully provided suggestions for local attractions and restaurants. The bathroom was SPOTLESS and the bedroom mattress very comfortable. There was even a s'more making kit waiting for us on the dining table. We normally camp when we visit the area, but it was nice to have less stress not pulling the teardrop, and having a great cottage in which to relax and rewind. We made forever memories and were grateful this gem was available. p.s. Our only eating out experience was The Farm in Traverse City, a farm to food restaurant that exceeded our expectations! It's worth the 35ish minute drive. My husband saw it profiled on a PBS show and thought we should give it a try. OMG, get the Farm Board, their charcuterie board, to start! You won't be disappointed. 10 stars to Above Crystal Lake (and the same to The Farm)
