We enjoyed this experience, finding the cabin to have certain unexpected and unique features. It's clean, nicely updated bathrooms and kitchen with all the equipment you could ask for (except maybe a toaster oven.) Our group of 8 (3 kids 10 and under) all had comfortable beds and each family had their own bathroom. The inflatable boat didn't work for the older generation, but the rest had a great time with it. The kids learned a new skill, paddleboarding, and we all enjoyed the firepit. The lake was clear enough to see fish swimming around, and we were succesful at catching a bunch. One more big positive, Mike is an excellent host. Any and all questions were answered promptly and all requests were accommodated. He was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks, Mike ( David). Good memories were made.

Thanks so much! So glad you guys were about to get up and enjoy some nice weather for the most part. We loved having you guys and a toaster oven is on order (we are old school and just use the pop down toaster but good to know people like these too). We hope to have you guys come back again soon and love to hear we were able to catch a bunch of fish, hopefully my kids tips were helpful.

Perfect home for a family vacation!

Our family of 8 - including grandparents and children - had a wonderful time at this spacious and comfortable lake house. The kayak, paddleboards, boat, dock, swingset, trampoline and grassy yard were perfect for time outside. Multiple grills and the fire pit were wonderful as well. Well stocked kitchen and comfy family room kept everyone happy. We had a wonderful week and look forward to returning!

Can't wait to return!

The views from the house and the sunset were amazing. We had such a great time hanging out at the house-paddle boarding, taking the boat out, sitting and enjoying the sun, fishing and just relaxing. Everyone had a wonderful time. The owner could not have been more responsive-thank you so much Mike!!!

Remarkable

Mike's place truly stands out. If anything, the place was better than depicted/described. An amazing yard with fire pit, big deck, tables, a dock, and all in great shape. Mike was very responsive and friendly, and we were very happy with our stay. Highly recommended.

Awesome place, fantastic owner

Was a little hesitant to book based on price for the area, but house was well worth it. Close to Elk in the winter (our stay), Crystal lake beautiful throughout the year. Owner could not have been better to deal with. Gave us Christmas as a free early check in and refunded a day when Covid hit one of us unexpectedly cutting trip short. House is gorgeous. Some funky, quirky things, like only one big couch in family room, no baths (usually like for ski trip), but all in all would highly recommend and definitely stay again!

Awesome Vacation!

First, Mike, the owner, couldn't have been more responsive and helpful. Now, the house....Not a five star hotel, but a fantastic kitchen and Great Room overlooking the lake. Outside...10 out of 10...beautiful view of the lake and unmatched resources for anyone who likes to cook. Weber gas grill, ceramic cooker and an Arteflame! I am an avid ceramic ( Big Green Egg) fan/owner, but I cooked on the Arteflame several time a day and loved it! The dock entrance allows little ones to walk into the lake at the pace comfortable to them. We had a ball with the provided kayak, paddleboards, and dingy. I would definitely rent this again!

Great family vacation

We have been staying in the area for approx 5 years and found the property to be the most enjoyable. House offered many amenities and was clean and comfortable. Mike was very responsive to the few needs/questions we had and gave a detailed list of everything the area had to offer. The lake was delightful and we look forward to visiting again.
