Wonderful visit in August 2023

This property is everything it is advertised to be. Spacious, beautiful main living area which was well stocked with the basics - cooking equipment suitable for all meals, including birthday cupcakes, spices and condiments, dishes, tableware, etc, even for our group of 12. Lovely renovated kitchen and living area, etc. Spacious game room, extra bedroom and living area in the walk-out lower level. The nice, sandy beach and deck area is great for families and kids, and the water was very swimmably warm and shallow all the way out to the end of the long dock. Boat rentals are available locally, as well, but we did not do that, preferring to use the provided kayak, paddleboards and paddleboat. Thanks to Susan and Nancy for a wonderful family vacation!

Beautiful Stay on Crystal Lake

The property is excellent for a multi-generational family stay. Location is beautiful, close to Beulah and Frankfort and facing the beautiful sunsets. Beach area across the street is perfect for the kids. Please note if you are renting a boat you will need to make mooring arrangements as the owners' boat hoist is occupied. Property was clean at check-in and check-out instructions were clear. Owners were very responsive to our needs and caretaker is close by as well. Our family had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful!!

We were so pleased with our stay. Location is great and the house itself is lovely. Full main floor update which is not reflected in current pictures. Multiple living spaces make the house so livable for a larger group. Super well appointed. Beach cabana is ideal. Will for sure be back!!

Beautifully Updated

My family owned this property for over 40 years and sold it 2 years ago. We loved it so much that we wanted to return and we were blown away by the updates and improvements that have been made to the house and beach. The kitchen is amazing and the beach has been greatly improved by the addition of sand and we loved the covered patio in the beach. Thank you for taking such good care of this place that we love so much and for allowing us to return to our favorite place in on earth. Crystal Lake is the best!

About the host

Hosted by Nicole and Susan

We are two sisters who have enjoyed this area with our families, and have always wanted to have a place on Crystal Lake. We have enjoyed making this house comfortable and accommodating for our guests. Our cottage care taker will be available to make sure your stay is trouble free. We look forward to our guests enjoying what we love so much. If you have any questions or concerns (ie date requests or trouble booking), please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to work with you.

Why they chose this property

We think our home offers both the coziness and spaciousness for a larger family or multiple families to enjoy a relaxing stay. We pride ourselves in the cleanliness and the well stocked amenities that include a gas grill, two large screen televisions in the first and main levels, beach chairs, and patio table and chairs outside each bedroom.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the different shades of the Caribbean blue on Crystal Lake, known as one of the most underutilized lakes in Michigan, which makes it extremely family friendly.
