Lil's on the Lake - On Crystal Lake, Dog-Friendly, and Short Walk to Downtown Beulah!

Charming historic cottage on Crystal Lake that has been owned by the same family since the 1930's. Very child-friendly and pet-friendly with a huge, fully fenced-in yard. Beautiful view of Crystal Lake from the eastern shore. Firepit, outdoor picnic tables, and lots of parking space as well! Also just a short walk from fun & family-friendly downtown Beulah!


INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:

Our local property manager lives in the area and is available to address any issues as needed.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The cottage is also located just 2 blocks away from downtown Beulah. Beulah is a cute little northern Michigan town located on the east end of Crystal Lake. The town was founded name iin 1880 by Reverent Charles E. Bailey and its name is actually Biblical in nature. It has a cute little main street (Benzie Blvd.) which has a nice collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, a post office, and a couple of bars. We would particularly recommend Ursa Major Bistro and L'Chayim Delicatessen in terms of places to eat in downtown Beulah. One of the neat surprises in Beulah is that there is a wonderful interactive children's science museum called COGnition right on Benzie Blvd. just a short walk (less than 5 minutes) from the cottage!

The cottage is located in beautiful Benzie County, one of the most pristine and natural environments in all of Michigan, and there are a number of other things to do in the area:

* Probably the most popular attraction in all of northwest Michigan is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. It is incredibly picturesque collection of natural beauty in terms of Lake Michigan, dunes, forests, wildlife, and inland lakes and rivers. There is a vast collection of hiking trails throughout the park and kayaking, canoeing, and tubing on the rivers and lakes is also very popular. The park starts about 8 miles away from the cottage, just north of the west end of Crystal Lake.

* The cottage is just a 10-minute drive from the lovely beachtown of Frankfort on Lake Michigan. Frankfort and nearby Elberta offer a fun collection of beaches, shops, restaurants, cafes, a movie theater, a microbrewery, and a few bars. Frankfort has a very popular public beach on Lake Michigan and Elberta (just across Betsie Lake from Frankfort) offers a more pristine and much less navigated natural beach. (Dogs are allowed everywhere at Elberta Beach, but are only allowed on certain portions of Frankfort Beach.) The Frankfort Lighthouse is also one of the famous and historical lighthouses on Lake Michigan.

* There is wonderful bike trail nearby. It's called the Betsie Valley Bike Trail and it runs 22 miles from Frankfort to Elberta, then along the Betsie River to Beulah, and then on over to Thompsonville. It is accessible just a few blocks from the cottage.

* The area is widely renowned for fishing! Crystal Lake is excellent for perch as well as rock bass. Ice fishing on Crystal Lake for smelt is a popular activity in the winter. Coho salmon, lake trout, and northern pike are also fished in the lake. Salmon fishing on Lake Michigan, the Betsie River, and the Platte River (just north of Beulah) is definitely the biggest fishing attraction though.

* The cottage is just a 5-minute drive from the Cherry Bowl Drive-In Theater. Although it's one of the last drive-in movie theaters in Michigan, it's thriving quite nicely and is a very popular place for an affordable family or couples outing.

* If a larger city environment is desired with more and trendier shops, restaurants, and nightlife, then Traverse City is just 45 minutes away from the cottage. It is the cultural, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of northern Michigan and, although still relatively small and very safe, it provides a bit of "big city feel" to tourists and locals.


GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have full access to all of the house as well as the entire yard. Note that there is a boat dock on Crystal Lake in front of the cottage, but it used by the neighbors and is not available to guests. There is also a small storage shed in the yard that is only used for storage and is not accessible by guests.


TRANSIT:

Public transportation in the area is quite limited and having a car is really quite necessary. Cars can park anywhere on the large, fenced-in yard. (There are 2 gates for the fence.)


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1) HEATING: Note that the cottage does not have a basement or a furnace. We utilize electric space heaters to heat the house in the spring and the fall as needed.
2) BONFIRES: There is a bonfire ring at the property. Bonfires must be attended at all times and must be fully extinguished using water.
3) REGISTRATION: This property is officially registered with the Village of Beulah, Michigan, as a short-term rental (STR) property. The registration number is 22031.

Great for families

My family has been to Michigan almost every summer for over 40 years. We used to camp but now like the idea of staying in a house. Our teenagers and my cousins kiddos who are younger LOVED the big yard, being able to walk to market in downtown Beulah and being so close to the beach. This rustic farm house was perfect for our two families. It may not be “updated” but we absolutely loved our time there!

The view is amazing, very well stocked. I also enjoyed being so close to a great beach. Can’t think of a better place to hang out in the large yard throwing a frisbee and grilling out. The porch is huge, plenty of blankets. I would come back for sure

Location Location Location

I was worried that the home wasn't "lakefront" and that the road in front of the home would be an issue; but I was wrong. The public beach and town is less than a 4 minute walk. The walk is also very pleasant and the road in front of the home is pedestrian and bike friendly. There is a place nearby to rent pontoon boats, kayaks, and bicycles if needed. Apparently, there is also a bike trail from Beulah that will take you to Frankfort. Residents and business owners all seem friendly and welcoming. It is a very small, but quaint town with lots to do for a long weekend. There also seemed to be some sort of pickle ball/tennis court action going on at a park next to the beach - if that's your thing. You also cannot beat the wrap around porch views from this home. Now the "cons" or things you should know - there is only one bathroom and shower, I did not locate a washer or dryer anywhere in the house, but maybe I didn't open enough of the tall cabinets (there is a laundromat in town), doesn't appear to be any heat, definitely no air conditioning (not needed when I stayed here and fans provided), and there were a lot of spiders in the enclosed porch area and upstair bedrooms' windows. If you plan on using the roller beds, just be aware that spiders will be your roomates (got bit on the eyebrow). Also the porch is sloping near the windows and there are drilled holes spread throughout that covered with little rugs so bugs/spiders might always have access to the home.

Great return stay

We have been enjoying this property for a few years now on the 4th of July. The neighbors recognize us and greet us when we arrive. We keep returning for the amazing location, the huge porch, the big yard for playing games, beach, and so much more. The property manager is easy to work with and responsive. I'm sure we'll be back.

Week long trip on Crystal Lake

Second time visiting this wonderful cottage on the East shore of Crystal Lake. Short walk to town for shopping and food. Half a block to the fishing pier and public beach. What more could one ask for? Great property hosts, available for any questions or needs! A+++ experience!

Rustic is very accurate

This older cottage is good if you have a big group and dogs. The weather was great so we spent little time indoors. It could certainly use some updating (especially stove and oven) but it still worked out well for our family.

Look beyond the older decor to see the beauty

The house is older and could use some updating . The wrap around porch is starting to rot away and the 2 carpets that are in the living and dinning area need to be replaced. The location is amazing and the fenced in yard is so great ! It certainly was a perfect place for us with 3 dogs and 8 people ! Thank you for great family memories

Mixed bag by the lake

We loved the location right on the lake and an easy walk to the pleasant town of Beulah, the public beach and great Betsie valley trail to bike to Frankfort and Elberta. Great Lake sunset views and fenced-in yard for our dog and wrap-around porch. But the living room is in desperate need of an update, as are the kitchen cabinets and the bedrooms. We like rustic but this was beyond rustic, especially given the price to stay here. Also beware of the steep stairs to the upstairs bedrooms.

Great step back in time!

Our family, ages 3-63, really enjoyed our stay at Lil's Cottage. It was exactly as shown on the listing - an old fashion lake cottage. Actually, the porch was better than represented. I think I counted 17 chairs, 3 tables, plus the 3 roll away beds. We had 11 people so we brought an extra table and used it in the dining room to hold food since the kitchen has so little counter space. We brought our own grill and cooked outside, though they did have a couple grills there for you to use. The location was perfect for all the attractions from Sleeping Bear Dunes to Crystal Mountain to Frankfort and the Betsie Lighthouse. Just a short walk to the beach in Beulah and to downtown. Watched wonderful sunsets over Crystal Lake right from the firepit. Large fenced yard for all of our cars, kids and the dog. Couldn't have been happier! Great place - especially for large groups! Would highly recommend.
