About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Seahorse Cottage

Just a short walk from the water (2 min, not lakefront). Crystal lake is 5.3 miles. The beach is 1/2 mile away or 11 min walk. Crystal raceway is 1 mile away. Large lot with a fire pit and patio. If you have a ranger or golf cart with orv stickers they are legal within the city limits. One bedroom with a full bed and twin over it. Sleeper sofa and sleeper chair in the living to sleep 3 more people.
There's a tv with DVD player and DVDs. There's also a fire stick and Roku TV. Slow paced water life. If you have a boat there's a sand bar and other areas that boats like to park and get out in the water. Most people in the village drive golf carts and orv's within the limits. There's a grocery store, restaurant, bar, movie theater, ice cream.... There's a place deeded to the house where you can anchor a boat for the day, but no dock or land ( you can only anchor the boat and walk back to the cottage). I have a camper on a second lot, so if I happen to be around when you visit, I'll gladly take you on a golf cart ride around the lake!
Please note that there's a water softener for HARD WATER, but some people don't like the sulfate (egg) smell. Also, it's a cottage near water, so there will be spiders/bugs.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

What a great little cottage. Our only issue was it was a little far to our family. Took a little longer to get there. But we loved the cottage and would definitely come back!!!

Charming

This is a cute little cottage with a lot of personal touches. Jamie has gone out of her way to make this feel like a home away from home, with a fully stocked kitchen and adorable decorations. The full size bed, though a bit unconventional, was incredibly comfortable and led to many well rested nights. The location is great and close to the beach, ice cream, and so much more. We look forward to returning next year.

Great summer vacay

We fell in love with this darling cabin!! Everything provisioned & squeaky clean. My family lived within 50 miles, which made it easy for them to come to us!! Restaurant, local bars were great and all within walking distance. Jamie was in her RV next door & visited with us. She's great and a lifetime local.

Crystal lake vacation

We rented a cottage with lakefront and needed more room for family. So we rented this cottage which was a block away and it worked out very well. We have no complaints and would do it again.
