A great stay with a great week

A very clean and well-maintained property. It was quiet and comfortable with a more modern feel. The property owners were very kind. They do live nearby; however, I would like to emphasize that the property is very private. You can't see neighboring homes from any of the windows or deck. To get to the property, the drive is up a steep hill from the lake. This was an awesome morning walk to and from the lake every morning (to South Shore Drive). The public beach is barely three minutes away which worked out great. Frankfort was ~6 minutes away, Point Betsie Lighthouse was ~9 minutes away, Empire Beach ~30 minutes with Sleeping Bear about 35-40 minutes away. As a 20+ year annual Crystal Lake visiting family, this was a top-notch experience at a very nice property.

Loved the Treehouse

The Treehouse was a great little house with nice wooded views. It had everything we needed and it was easy to get to Frankfort beach and everywhere else we wanted to go. We'd stay again!

Quiet cabin in the woods nearby beautiful Crystal lake

Quiet and comfortable home great for our family get together with 3 generations. Very close to the lake and a mile from the public beach and boat launch. The owners are super nice and good to work with and the cabin has lots of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang out and relax. Lots of things to do in the area make this a great choice for an extended family to gather.

About the host

Hosted by Andi Lipson or Jerry Fishman

Andi is a retired teacher and Jerry is a semi retired building contractor. Jerry designed and built the Tree House using his skills, creativity and ingenuity. We visited the area before we were married and fell in love with Crystal Lake and its environs and built our home 25 years ago.

Why they chose this property

We visited the area before we were married and fell in love with Frankfort. The fact that we are so close to Lake Michigan as well as Sleep Bear Dunes added to our desire to have somewhere to enjoy nature. In addition, the woods that surround our home and the quiet surroundings appealed to us along with the Crystal Lake.
