Little Blue Cottage is a historic cedar cottage adjacent to the Congregational Summer Assembly (CSA) and just a few miles north of beautiful Frankfort, MI. It’s perched atop a knoll in a beautiful maple and beech forest with a view of Lake Michigan. A short walk down the hill to the west, past the tennis court and playground, gets you to Lake Michigan’s beach; to the east, a slightly longer walk brings you to the warm, calm waters of Crystal Lake. Two lakes within walking distance! Open the many windows to appreciate the sounds of nature and the breeze. Downtown Frankfort is 10 minutes by car, and 20 minutes by bicycle.

The cottage sleeps 6 in beds: There is a king bed on the main floor, a double bed in a loft, and a pair of twin beds in a downstairs bedroom (with a 6’ ceiling and its own outside entrance). Little Blue has a new bathroom including a nice bath/shower and a toilet with a bidet. There’s a living room with comfortable seating and a Vermont Castings wood stove to take off any chill, a deck with a gas grill, a stacked clothes washer and dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining room with a table for eating or games/puzzles. Free parking is available for up to three cars. Good-quality Internet connectivity is provided along with a smart TV.

From mid-June through mid-August, the area is vibrant with activity as the CSA runs its classic summer season: swimming & tennis games and lessons, a choir, art activities, a children’s operetta, nature walks, dances, etc. During the CSA’s busy summer season renters are REQUIRED to buy CSA tickets, More detailed information on how to take care of all this will be provided after booking.

Conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, Point Betsie lighthouse, and Sleeping Bear National Shoreline, there is no shortage of activities to explore during your stay. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or outdoor adventures, this cottage is the perfect Pure Michigan treat for the whole family. Book now and create lasting memories in this idyllic setting in Frankfort!

Cozy cottage

We found the cottage very cozy and loved the short walk to the lake Michigan and short drive to Crystal Lake. Nice king sizes bed and recently renovated bathroom. We would definitely stay again
