The Bright and Breezy - Lakefront with Spa!

The Bright and Breezy is a gorgeous newly-remodeled home right on the south shore of Crystal Lake! Outside it features a NEW PRIVATE HOT TUB, huge dock, outdoor shower, hammock, bonfire ring, water toys (including a lilypad and a kayak), backyard deck, and new propane grill! Inside the home is beautifully decorated in bright and beachy tones. Plus high-speed Wi-Fi along with live streaming tv's! The property makes for a fantastic base year-round to explore all of northwest Michigan!
PLEASE NOTE:

(1) Outdoor surveillance cameras are in use at this property.
(2) ABSOLUTELY NO PETS OF ANY KIND ARE PERMITTED AT THIS PROPERTY! This includes service dogs. Please do not attempt to sneak in a pet. We do check-in guests in person and there are outdoor surveillance cameras at the property. If a pet is seen at the property, then the current guest will be immediately removed from the property without any refund of any portion of their stay.
The house is along the luxurious south shore of Crystal Lake, which boasts many luxurious homes of over $1M in value. The neighborhood is primarily made up of vacation homes of professional families.

Outside of the immediate neighborhood, the home is just a few miles from downtown Frankfort, which has a charming collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a fantastic public beach on Lake Michigan and a popular historic lighthouse. The Bright and Breezy is also less than a 30-minute drive from both the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (to the north) as well as Crystal Mountain Ski Resort (to the southeast).

The house is also only about a 1-hour drive east to Traverse City. Traverse City is the business, arts, recreation, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of all of Northern Michigan and it provides a vast variety of "bigger city" things to see and do.
Guest have complete access to the entire house, except for a small closet that is used by the owners for storage.
This is ALSO a great destination for winter skiing! The home is warm and cozy in the winter with an indoor wood-burning fireplace and it's only a 24-minute drive from Crystal Mountain! It includes high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple televisions with live streaming, and board games as well! Also provides a beautiful wintertime of Crystal Lake and ice fishing right across the street! The new year-round SPA / HOT TUB is also great for relaxing after a day of skiing!
It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle.

Crystal Mountain Vacation
The property was easy to find, the sleeping arrangements were great, and the hot tub was a real hit. We were close enough to Frankfort to pick up carryout and it was an easy drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing.

Modern & Cozy
For a lake front cottage, this place is open and feels like plenty of room. Even on a chilly or rainy day, we would be content inside with the fireplace and 2 large tables. One could be used for puzzles or games. The sitting area with the comfortable sectional set this cottage apart, as did the hot tub! Would certainly stay here again in the summer or fall!

Very Relaxing
We had a great stay here! The lake and street were both quiet even though it was mid-August. We were able to relax at the cottage and enjoy the water. Thank you!

Comfortable and peaceful
Of all the places I have stayed, this may be the most comfortable. The sofa, bed, pillows, sheets. The kitchen, the coffee, the grill, etc. It was a wonderful home. The lake is truly Crystal clear. I was sorry that we weren't able to stay longer.

Beautiful, clean cottage perfect for families!
We had myself and my husband and our 4 kids, and this was the perfect place for us! The house was beautifully renovated, clean, and very well-stocked with linens, dishes, cleaning supplies, water toys, board games, everything you could need! Beds were super comfy. The kids loved the private dock and fire pit. And the location can’t be beat! We found so much to do in the area: shopping/dining in Frankfort, climbing Sleeping Bear Dunes, touring Point Betsie lighthouse, watching a drive-in movie at the Cherry Bowl Drive-In. We spent many afternoons swimming and kayaking in Crystal Lake, and evenings playing board games or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Wonderful place to make family memories!
