Great family base for a ski weekend.

We had a great time staying here. There was plenty of room for all eight of us (four adults and four kids) and it was only a short walk or ride to the mountain. We’d stay here again.

Cozy clean and walking distance to the mountain

We have stayed at so many properties over the years at Crystal and this is one of our new favorites. Very cozy and clean and has all the amenities needed. Walked right to buck to hit the slopes and close enough to walk back for lunch. We already booked our next stay here!

Perfect ski vacation

Two families of 4 each stayed here for a ski trip, and we all had a wonderful time - the house was beautiful, had games and puzzles for the kids, and great spaces for everyone to hang out. Plus the location was perfect for walking to Crystal restaurants and pool (we drove to ski, as we didn’t want to carry our stuff). We would definitely stay here again!

Great Place to stay for 2 families

The house is really nice and well furnished. We had 2 families and had a ton of room, the extra loft the kids loved. A very short walk to Crystal Mountain and all the activities. We would stay here again for sure.

Wonderful cottage by Ski resort

This is the perfect place to stay for a big family or with friends. 2 block away from the Ski slopes! Ample spaces and all the amenities are generous for us to enjoy our stay! A wonderful view of the golf course covered with snow from the living room! Thanks Lisa for being wonderful hosts!

New years trip

The house was fantastic. The location is extremely nice being a short walk to the base area. The cleanliness of the house is nice and has a good amount of space to spread out with a group. Would definitely return here in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! We came with another family and loved the fact that there are two primary suites. It worked out so well. The kids thought the loft was so fun to sleep in! The cottage had everything we needed and more, and it was so easy to access the slopes. We easily walked it one day and took the shuttle the next which was also simple. I’d highly recommend this property for both the location and the cottage itself! We’d love to come back in the summer sometime. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Ski Trip

We have been skiing at Crystal Mountain a few times each year for the past 5 years. This property was one of the best ones. Great layout for all of us, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - everyone had their own space! The house was very clean and comfortable. A bit longer walk to the buck lift that we expected, but it was fine.

Quick Family Trip

We booked this Crystal Mountain property last minute for a quick family trip, and it exceeded our expectations! The location is great - a short walk to the Park at Water's Edge and Mountain Market areas, making it easy for our family to enjoy all that Crystal Mountain had to offer. The house was clean, well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a kitchen and cozy living area. The host was very responsive, providing quick answers to our questions and ensuring check-in was seamless despite our late booking. Traveling with young children, we appreciated the additional space afforded at the property - both indoors and outdoors (when compared to the tighter confines of Crystal Mountain's room offerings). We would highly recommend this spot for families visiting Crystal Mountain!

Perfect for our family of 8!

Location was great! All Crystal Mountain Resort amenities were within a quick walk. Perfect for our family of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids). Our family has stayed at multiple Crystal Resort properties and this one had the best stocked kitchen and offered the most family friendly indoor and outdoor games. The online pictures don’t do the cottage justice.

Great place for our Summer Vacation

We found the house clean, well taken care of and it had everything we needed to have a good time. We had plenty of room for 2 families, and were very happy with the feeling of 'space' without stepping on toes. Location was awesome, far enough away from the pool and activities to be nice and quiet, but close enough that a quick walk got us to anywhere on the resort. The whole family enjoyed sitting and watching golfers on the green which was just out back. This was our first trip to Crystal Mountain, and we really enjoyed the alpine slides, mountain bike trails and the golf!

Beautiful!

We loved this home! The great room was spacious and the sleeping arrangements worked great for our vacation with another family. The two masters worked perfectly as did the addition two rooms filled with beds for kids. Absolutely loved the back yard! Fire pit and large open common area behind it was awesome! Close enough for the kids to walk...it was perfect. Had some issues with the thermostat and the owners got someone to come out and take care of it right away. Very happy with our stay! Thank u!
