Crystal Mountain Vacation

The property was easy to find, the sleeping arrangements were great, and the hot tub was a real hit. We were close enough to Frankfort to pick up carryout and it was an easy drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing.

The perfect location. Right on Crystal Lake that was beautiful and still swimmable in September. And also so close to Frankfort that it was easy to pop into town for ice cream. The house has everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, games galore, a stand up paddle board, and things we will have to come back to use, like a kayak and hot tub. Hope to return!

Steps away from Crystal Lake

Great house with wonderful kitchen. 3 nice bedrooms. Only concern is if it is hot, only one bedroom has A/C. 90 degree weather was a struggle!
