A rare opportunity to own a classic two-story, three-season cottage tucked among the trees in the heart of the historic Congregational Summer Assembly (CSA) in Frankfort. Set in the beloved Wildewood area and overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers 1,267 square feet of relaxed living space and a nostalgic return to the timeless joys of Northern Michigan summers. Homes in this area rarely come on the market, making this a unique chance to become part of a community where generations of families have created lifelong memories. Start your mornings on the deck, sipping coffee as Lake Michigan comes to life—waves rolling in, gulls overhead, and the breeze moving through the trees. This is summer, the way it's meant to be. Founded over a century ago, the CSA spans 120 wooded acres between Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake and is home to one of the region's most vibrant and cherished summer communities. With private beaches on both lakes, families have enjoyed swimming, sailing, and sunsets here for generations. Crystal Lake's sandy beach features a lifeguard-protected swim area, while the Lake Michigan beach is a favorite for its serene beauty. The CSA experience is like no otherwhere kids walk to tennis and swimming lessons, softball games, and art classes; where evenings are filled with square dances, beach movies, and community potlucks. Whether it's teen socials, thought-provoking speakers, or simply a peaceful walk through the woods, there's something here for everyone. To learn more about CSA membership, visit summerassembly.org.
