Crystal Lake and Frankfort area are a beautiful area to stay. The home is within walking distance to Crystal Lake. It is very well maintained with so many extras provided. The beds are comfy and kitchen has everything that you need. This is the second time we have stayed and we will be returning.

I would like to invite you to review your stay at my vacation rental. Please let me know what you enjoyed and what I can do to improve the experience for future guests. Having feedback from return renters is helpful to me to be sure I am continuing to provide a quality vacation experience. We would welcome you back the next time you travel this way.
Everything was great! The house is lovely and well-constructed (nice cabinets, solid doors, etc), great layout, also incredibly clean and bug-free especially with being in the woods. It feels homey like you are staying at your friend's cottage, not the commercial feel that some rental properties have (for example it has kitchen staples like aluminum foil, extra grocery store bags, and lots of kitchen utensils instead of one cheap plastic set). The rooms are spacious and beds comfortable. Would definitely stay again, thank you!

We are so glad you felt at home and enjoyed your time at our cottage. It is a special place for our family. Thank you for the kind words. We would welcome you back the next time you travel this way.
It was the perfect space for an upnorth family get away. The house was convenient to everything and tucked away off the beaten path to feel peaceful and secluded. They also had everything for our 2 toddler age grandchildren on the premises to make the stay so easy, from cups and tiny silverware to potty seat and step stools.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location!We had an amazing experience staying at this beautiful house. It had absolutely everything we needed, and the rooms were comfortable, spacious, and perfect for our group of friends.The location was also excellent — very close to both Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake, surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. It was convenient to Frankfort and also not too far from Sleeping Bear Dunes.Our group had so much fun hiking, swimming, relaxing, and spending time together. The house made our trip even more enjoyable, and we would absolutely love to stay here again in the future.Highly recommend this wonderful home

We are so grateful for Joanna’s beautiful house! We consider this our home away from home every summer. Joanna has equipped her kitchen with everything you can imagine and the house with all kinds of games and extras like firewood. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

We are happy to hear you had a wonderful time and the Cottage let you feel as if you were at your home. I am sure you are building wonderful memories with the whole family. Looking forward to having you return next summer. Thank you for the kind review.
We stayed for one week with 6 adults and 2 children under age 2. The house was the perfect set up for our family. We loved the screened in porch! The kitchen was very well stocked. There was a nice wagon we could use for the kids. I would definitely recommend this home and the surrounding area is perfect. It's close enough to everything you need. Joanna and Nicole the property manager were both very responsive. Check in and check out instructions were very clear. The only inconvenience we had was the instant heater attached to the hot water heater kept losing power so we had some cold showers to start the week. Nicole did show us how to turn it back on so we did have hot water but it was just inconvenient. I'm sure it will be taken care of before renting again, but would recommend confirming. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your review. We are glad your family enjoyed your stay at our cottage. I have already had the plumber out to the cottage to inspect and repair the hot water heater.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is very accommodating, spacious and the kitchen is very well stocked with any type of appliance you might need. The area also has lots to offer- we enjoyed several of the restaurants in town and also enjoyed several hikes in Sleeping Bear Dunes. Highly recommend this property!

We had a restful and enjoyable three-day weekend in this beautiful house! The kitchen was so well equipped, it was better than my own! Enjoyed the short ride to downtown Frankfort to wonder around the farmers market and small business. Awesome property!!!

This house is fabulous! It is exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything that you need. The beds are comfortable with plenty of space throughout. Four women stayed and not one complaint. That is saying a lot! We would love to stay here again, if we come back to this area.

We had a great anniversary weekend and the property was perfect. When we arrived the owners had a card and a bottle of wine waiting for us which was very nice. House is very big and set up very well. Our next trip up north I’m sure we will be coming back to stay again.
