This home was made for a couple (or solo traveler!) looking for some lake fun away from it all. The tile details and wood paneling evoke a simpler time and a vintage lakeside vibe. Guests can also enjoy the use of a 14” aluminum rowboat with included life jackets of various sizes. No one does the lake closer than this spunky home.

What's nearby:
The couldn't-be-closer setting on Crystal Lake is just the beginning. Point Betsie Lighthouse (just under six miles away) is the perfect gateway to Lake Michigan. This home is also within nine miles of Long Lake, Rush Lake, Platte Lake, and Little Platte Lake. Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theatre provides fun viewing during the summer season just over eight miles away. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore offers hiking and lovely views just over 22 miles away.

Improved from out last visit, but still not great

The beach access is awesome. The cabin keeps the rain off, and has 1 comfy bed and 1 old as dirt fold-out bed. It's fairly evenly distanced from both Beulah and Frankfort, which we saw as a positive. The bathroom is teeny, in all aspects of the word. The shower head is at ~5ft3in high, so anyone taller than that will need to bend or squat to rinse off. If you sit on the toilet, your knees will likely hit the wall in front of you. If you pee standing up, you'll likely need to turn sideways in front of the sink. The screen door in front pops out of its frame easily, and the screen door in back pops out of the track does not seal well at all, so prepare for mosquitoes. Since our visit in 2019, the couch has been replaced, but not the fold-out bed within. The screens have been replaced or patched, but the screen door problems are worse. I don't remember the "fire pit", or actually, the bowl in the beach with a ring of rocks.

Peaceful location next to lake.

Patio door screen didn't close properly and lower part of refrigerator didn't stay cold enough. Everything else was good!

Four Stars

Enjoyed our stay at Grandma's Sandbox. The location was perfect as it is between Frankfort and the National Park. No A/C would have been just fine but for the lack of window screens to keep bugs outside. The house has more storage space and kitchen equipment than one would think for a tiny house. I have often booked homes through VRBO and this one was lacking in kitchen resources such as spices, foil, etc. So bring your own! The lake truly is crystal clear!
