Nice place!

Really liked the location it is super close to crystal mountain. The property is a good setup for playing yard games or just hanging out by the river or fire. Only issue I had is the rental process, just felt like I didn’t know what was going on and the code I was given for the door did not work but the side door was unlocked..yikes

Perfect property for weekend for 15 adults

We stayed two nights and had 15 adults. The property is spacious even for such a large group and the kitchen is fantastic (although it took us a minute to realize it was in the basement) with a very large island that seats 10 easily. Two bathrooms meant coordinating for showers but it was fine. We just had some people shower at night and left extra time in the morning. There's also a lot of room on the back deck for visiting and eating (if the sun isn't too hot). There was easy access to kayaking but note that paddling upstream in the Betsie River is a challenge. By most reports I heard, the beds were comfortable enough, if a little short for my 6'7" brother-in-law and his 6'5" son. People seemed to sleep pretty well though. I asked around and the only suggestions guests had were a light at the top of the basement stairs so it's clearer there is a useful space down there and maybe the addition of a dumpster service so there's somewhere outside to put garbage (especially dog waste bags). Overall, though, we loved this property and I heard people say more than once they wouldn't mind booking this property again in the future.

2nd thoughts

First, the facilities were clean and the large rooms were well furnished. The bedrooms were smaller than expected though. The one thing that would consider a "2nd thought" was the amount and location of stairs. It was not understood that there were so many stairs. Also, as two couples traveling the layout did not work well for a bathroom for each couple next to their room. As a matter of fact it did not work at all. The one room big enough for laying out luggage was on the 3rd floor and the bathroom was on the 1st floor. One matching of the 2nd floor bathroom and 2nd floor bedroom was accomplished. Overall, this would not be a situation I would recommend to multiple couples traveling together or those who avoid stairs due to health or physical inabilities.

Great location, nice outdoor space

We had 2 families staying here for a ski trip to Crystal Mountain. The house was in a great location, less than 5 minutes to the mountain. The backyard along the river was really pretty and nice. The house had an interesting layout with the kitchen in the basement. There was plenty of sleeping space for all 9 of us, but the beds were terrible and could really use an upgrade. We brought 3 dogs with us and it was great to be able to do that. It’s obvious it’s a pet friendly house as the carpet was pretty stained. The listing boasts access to a shared pool/hot tub (at Crystal), but only after arrival did we discover that we didn’t actually have access. It would have been nice to know this prior to booking and that should be removed from the listing. I tried to reach out to the owner/manager multiple times prior to our trip and was never able to reach someone. I’ve honestly never had such trouble with communication on a rental before. I finally received a response to my email after we had arrived home from the trip!
