    Crystal Lake Cottage-Sleeps 12

    This is a four bedroom, 2 bath cottage that sits right on the water of Crystal Lake. Interior upgrades in 2018-19. It’s on the most coveted street on the lake. It's very quiet and because of how the property sits on the lake, there is no seaweed! It's all sand in the water by our dock. Between the panoramic view from the living room next to the stone fireplace to the view from the grill on the deck, this cottage is sure to delight even the hardest of hearts. Although we do not provide a boat, you are welcome to tie yours up. If you want to turn off your cell phone, relax and float away that stress, you've found your summer memory maker-look no further.

    Crystal Lake is a spring-fed, clean/clear lake with a sandy bottom. The lake is 70 foot deep at it's maximum, but is shallow on the lake shores and has one buoy-marked rock in the southeast section of the lake. The lake supports a mixed use of sail, power, and fishing activities from late March through late November.

    Sailing on the lake is supported by the Crystal Sailing Club. Established in 1961, the CSC is a family centered working club which supports a Flying Scot fleet. The club is located on the North shore of the lake. The most common classes of sailboats found on the lake are Flying Scots, Sunfish, and some larger cruiser type boats (to about 25'). Public access to Crystal Lake can be made via a DNR boat launch. The best time to view sailing activities are during the Parade of Sails on July 4th, during Flying Scot fleet activities, and during Crystal Sailing Club functions as per their website.

    The preceeding information was graciously provided by Mr. James Horak, Commodore of the Crystal Sailing Club.

    About Lake Cottage Group, LLC

    The current owners consist of five families who use this home as their summer cottage.

    Lake Cottage Group, LLC purchased this Cottage in 2014

    Why Lake Cottage Group, LLC chose Crystal

    The current owners grew up going to a country cottage they all called 'The Ranch.' It was very rustic with no indoor plumbing and a wood stove for cooking. The Ranch originally belonged to their great grandfather Mary and James Edward Rowse. Great Grandpa Jim actually traded the store he and Mary owned in Oil City, Michigan for the Ranch which belonged to his cousins. When he passed, it was handed down to his three sons Arnold, Dutch, and Gale. When non-family members used to stay at The Ranch, they were charged $3 for the weekend to help off-set oil and supply costs. People aged and time passed too quickly before family could organize to buy it. The Ranch was sold and children and grandchildren for years longed for those wonderful times that created such good memories. In search of that special place, the current cottage owners camped for years. They were introduced to the Fenwick's, another family on Crystal Lake years ago by the eldest of three brothers, Todd. Danielle, Dane, Chad & Todd were invited to stay with the family every summer along with their spouses and children and did so for years. One sister, and three brothers began to expand their own families and thought it might be time to search for something they could call their own. One day, while staying on the lake, 1 of the 3 brothers, Chad, went for a walk a street over from where they were staying at the Fenwick’s and ran into an older gentleman, Don, that was putting a for sale sign in the yard. The excitement began as Dane & Chad developed a deep relationship with Don. The idea was shared with the rest of the family and soon they all came together to call this their summer cottage. Don wanted to know that his cottage and the memories would continue to be shared. As our Great Grandparents Jim and Mary shared The Ranch with their sons, and our Grandparents Arnold and Evelyn shared it with us to build memories with our families, we share this cottage with you and your family.
