About this property

Country Cottage, guest friendly solitude in the forest. 4 season activity nearby

The Cottage, located near Crystal Mountain all seasons resort. Little River Casino, Lake Michigan beaches, snow sports, great golf, lots of lakes and rivers, Sleeping Bear National Park and many seasonal community events. Property has trails for nature walks and no light pollution for great star gazing. Modern indoor conveniences. The Cottage is a spacious, comfortable and quaint four season rental. . I have a Ring Door Bell camera in the large brown pole barn that provides a security view of the two carports and part of the driveway leading to them. This is a good way for me to know if you have arrived and when you have checked out.

We had a Great Time

This cottage was the perfect spot for our "cousin get-a-way." Nicely decorated, very clean, secluded yard with trails & fire pit, and the covered porch was the cherry on top. We took our time with coffee on the porch each morning, then drove out to the shore during the day, collected rocks (of course), went to Frankfort for lunch, stopped at the Oliver Gallery, etc., and then headed back to the cabin to make dinner on the grill. Really nice place.
