**NEW**Crystal Lake Private frontage/Location/Lawn/Hot tub!!
Welome to the Hilltop Haven! This Northern Michigan lake house is a perfect escape on Crystal Lake with PRIVATE lake frontage. This home has history, lawn, views, fire pit, private lake frontage, and location! This updated turn-of-century home has a screened-in front porch, a hot tub, and a covered porch overlooking green lawn. A rare find! Custom built by lumber barons and our city founder, this historic home nestles gently into the hills of Crystal Lake with panoramic views, in addition to private lake frontage. From the house, it's a 7- minute walk along the Betsie Trail to bustling and adorable downtown Beulah. Minutes from local restaurants, shopping, and a 22-mile walk/bike trail (ranging from downtown Frankfort to Crystal Mountain). The authentic carriage house allows additional space, including lawn games and other extras. The paved driveway provides plenty of parking for all your needs. Boat-ready lake frontage includes a 100' dock with a hoist. This pristine freshwater shoreline provides everything water enthusiasts could dream of, from boating and fishing to swimming, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and kayaking. Betsie Valley Trail system is steps away. The home has all the amenities: grill, linens, dock, and dishware! Enjoy coffee overlooking the lake on the large screened-in porch or from the hot tub! Hot tub is working. Check it out!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Absolutely amazing.
I could honestly go on for hours about how amazing this property and our stay in Beulah was. The house is so thoughtfully furnished and just beautiful. So clean, quaint and cozy just like this little town. The view of Crystal Lake itself is amazing, but literally everything else about this place is too. 100/10. Will definitely be back! Thank you Jamie!
