Description

Charming cottage with Crystal Lake access in Benzie County. Turn the key and immediately enjoy this furnished 3 BR year-round getaway, less than 100 strides from the lake. Get ready for splashdown, with 300 feet of shared shoreline access for swimming, with sandy shallows and two sandbars. Or soak in the sun’s rays as you lounge on the sandy beachfront. The quiet street is plowed in winter, a bonus since the cottage is fully insulated and equipped with a high-efficiency boiler for cold-weather use. There is even a generator for backup power. The knotty pine interior with simple, functional lines is exactly what you want in a northern Michigan cottage. Especially when your focus is on playtime. Throw some logs in the brick-surround fireplace for ambiance and to chase the chill. A full basement offers storage for your seasonal gear. A large front yard gives you some setback from the street. The location is convenient too, with Frankfort and Lake Michigan to your west and downtown Beulah to the east. Pick up the Betsie Valley Trail, a half-mile away along Mollineaux Road, to bicycle or hike in either direction. Hop in the car and drive to Crystal Mountain for golfing and skiing, the Sleeping Bear sand dunes for hiking, or Interlochen Center for the Arts for concerts. Why pay high property taxes to be on the water when you can have 24/7 access all year in a hassle-free getaway in a prime location?
