Stay was nice. It was a different experience having the host also staying on site. Shower was tiny and ceiling fans were loud, but overall very functional. Location was great and beach views beautiful.

Brian and Meg were great hosts. The cabin was very clean and stocked with essentials. No issues whatsoever. For us the location and amenities couldn’t have been better; the beach, the lake, the fire pits, the kids toys, everything in the cabin and surrounding area was perfect. I would highly recommend this rental!

Host Brian was great! He provided tons of local info and was prompt to respond to all messages. If we’d had more energy & I weren't so bothered by the heat we would have enjoyed using the boats & paddle boards. Next time. The cottage is small but not too small for me and my husband. It’s clean, cute & cozy. The location is convenient to downtown Beulah and a short drive to nearby towns & beaches.

Wonderful stay! Just what we needed over Presidents weekend-so close to Crystal Mountain, where we enjoyed skiing. The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed for the four of us. Brian - the owner - was very helpful and made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommended!

Everything was fine except that I had trouble sleeping on the higher bed. It has a memory cushion on top of the mattress that was too cushy for me. I felt like I was sinking into quick sand and had hard time moving around was I got on mattress. Finally laid on top of bedspread and that really helped! Everything else was well equipped for boating, biking, grilling, and fire pit.

Our host was excellent with communicating with us from even before they confirmed our reservation. I was truly appreciative of Brian's response times and willingness to answer any questions we had or may have had. Our host alone gets 5 stars.

Exceptional Stay Near Downtown Beulah

We had an exceptional stay at our 2 BR cabin. It was very cozy, perfect for the three of us (me and my two daughters. It's about a one mile walk to downtown Beulah with great shops and restaurants. We also took a day trip to Travese City which was also fantastic. Wonderful communication from Brian and Meg. Highly recommended if you are looking to stay in the area.

Getting a 4 Star review gets our attention! We always check with guests during their stay, but this one surprised us. Very glad it is only a night light that is too dim! Remedy=Added a second night;ight which is 8x brighter. Loft has A/C powered fan and 2 night lights,, battery pop light and flashlight on a hook next to the ladder.

Wonderful stay

Our stay was incredible and very relaxing! Our kids loved it as well and had so much fun on the beach and kayaks. The owners were incredible and very helpful. My kids say that this was the best weekend of their lives! Rating this 5 stars, would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Who doesn't enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach? We know where to look when we go on vacation again! Thank you host's for allowing my family on your property and enjoy the beauty.

Relaxing, beautiful stay

This place was a great escape from the every day hustle and bustle. All the great up north feels with this one. Brian and Meg were wonderful hosts! Kind, generous and always making sure we had everything we needed. There are endless things to do right from the cabin but also lots to do within a short drive. Beautiful beaches galore, great places to eat and little shops to explore. Close to Traverse City for a day trip. We had everything we needed in the cabin. Can't say enough good things about this place. Looking forward to returning in the future!

This was a wonderful, cozy cabin for our family of four. We enjoyed kayaking in Crystal lake using the kayaks on property. We also used the bikes to ride around Beulah and a portion of the Betsie Valley trail. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and enjoyed several fires on the beach as the sun was setting. Beulah was the perfect launching point for of our day trips. We went kayaking down the Platte river, hiked around Sleeping Bear Dunes, went on an ice cream cruise in Traverse City, caught tons of fish from Crystal Lake thanks to our fishing guide, and enjoyed several beaches along Lake Michigan. At the end of our eventful days, our cabin was a welcome retreat. We absolutely loved this area and will likely return again soon.

We had a last minute booking & this property worked great for our needs. The owner offered amazing options for food, etc…. We did think from the listing that the waterfront was private but would consider it shared. There are 2 cabins that sit behind the owners home which is waterfront. Each cabin does have a designated area with chairs & fire-pit on the waterfront. The designated areas are next to each other. We met nice people that were in the other cabin. The cabin was clean & had all of the amenities & it is a bonus to have all the water “toys”. We enjoyed our stay!!
