Perfect Crystal Lake vacation spot
So perfect, we came back for our third year in a row. Crystal Haven is starting to feel like our very own vacation home :) Awesome, quiet location within a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Beulah, Frankfort, golf at Arcadia Bluffs, and more… Though if the weather’s great, you may not want to leave the house! Pictures don’t do justice to the views of the lake that hit you the moment you walk through the door and the owners have thought of every detail.

Perfect week away
The property was spotless, well designed and the kitchen extremely well stocked - zero complaints! Bedrooms are all cozy. Favorite part was having a glass of wine on an Adirondack chair out on the dock. Location is equal distance to Frankfort and Beulah, very close to several trails, and just a half hour to the dunes and Glen Arbor. I almost didn’t want to review because great places on Crystal Lake are difficult to find and I don’t want to make it harder for us to book next time but here we go haha 5 stars, 2 thumbs up - cheers!

We love Crystal Haven!
This was our second time staying at Crystal Haven and it was as wonderful as the first! The owners are friendly, easy to reach, and have stocked the house with all of the amenities and area information you will need. We had a very relaxing week lounging on the patio, playing in the water, and taking occasional trips into Frankfort and Beulah. Thank you Deb and Scott!

Waterfront Haven
This home is as lovely as it looks. The home owners have thought of everything. You can almost come with just a suitcase, grocery’s and a few necessities and you would need nothing else. The kitchen is well stocked, lots of bathroom towels, cozy blankets, life jackets, water toys, out door games…you name it! It is important to note that the beach is rocky and there is no easy entry for littles under the age of 5. If your kids are incredibly comfortable in the water and swim its not problematic, but for littles that need to ease in or play in a shallow sandy area this isn’t it. The homeowner la are also very responsive.
