Classic Crystal Lake Cottage with Dock, Mooring Buoy, Fire Ring & Beach Area
Welcome to Nugent’s Nest on Crystal Lake, a classic Up North lake cottage located on beautiful Crystal Lake in Beulah, Michigan. This home is a great fit for guests looking for a comfortable, laid-back place to enjoy the lake, relax with family, and make the most of Northern Michigan.
Nugent’s Nest has the charm and feel of a well-loved lake cottage. It is not a brand-new or fully renovated home, but it offers a wonderful Crystal Lake setting and several recent guest-friendly updates, including new living room furniture, brand-new linens, towels, quilts, pillows, and bedding.
Outside, guests can enjoy time near the water, relax by the fire ring with Adirondack chairs, and take in the peaceful lakefront setting. The property also includes a dock and mooring buoy, giving guests an easy way to enjoy lake days on Crystal Lake. It is a great spot for swimming, morning coffee, sunset evenings, and simple Up North lake days.
The location is also a major highlight. You’ll be close to Beulah, Frankfort, local restaurants, shops, trails, golf, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, making it easy to enjoy both lake time and nearby attractions during your stay.
This is a good choice for guests who appreciate a casual cottage experience, a beautiful Crystal Lake location, and a comfortable home base for exploring the area. If you are looking for a luxury, fully updated property, this may not be the right fit — but if you are looking for a relaxed lake cottage with great outdoor space and classic Up North character, Nugent’s Nest is a wonderful place to stay.

Crystal Lake location in Beulah, Michigan
Classic, casual Up North cottage feel

Very pet-friendly, lots of room for a family of five with three teens to spread out in the cottage and in the front yard. Truly awesome deck area! Dock was perfect for enjoying the sun and water, and we were able to pull a boat up to load and unload passengers. Location was perfect: quiet, right on the bike path, walkable to Beulah for music and ice cream. Loved it!
