Joys of Crystal Lake
The location was unbeatable - 3-4min drive to Beulah and 16min to Frankfort, and right on the lake. If you want to spend your time outside on your own private lakeside retreat - this is the place for you.
The home is laid out well and offers plenty of space. We'll note that there are some things that could be improved, such as:
- we're fine booking a week stay, but over a week's time on a beach, things get sandy / dirty quickly and I'd expect there to be ample cleaning supplies and things like a nice vacuum cleaner that are supplied to us. We found it to be inadequate in this area, so inquire ahead of time or bring your own.
- The grill is just an old charcoal grill that was full of spent coals and very dirty when we arrived. Perhaps the grill can be updated? At minimum - it should be clean for a new arrival.
- As is the case in many vrbo's, the kitchen is a hodgepodge of silverware, cooking utensils pots/pans, etc. If you expect a "chef's kitchen" - this is not it. Bring some of your own kitchen if you want to cook something relatively nice/hard.
Robin & Greg communicate very well and were readily available, which was wonderful.
Overall - this is a great place to stay. May be a bit pricey, but we definitely enjoyed our stay.
