The house was cute. Had all of the important stuff. The kids loved the pancakes using the provided mix. Location was great for a ski weekend (for the 14 yo), cross country skiing (for the spouse), and the COGnition Science Center (for the 3 yo 11 yo). Thanks for a great stay!

Walking distance to a nice park, beach and gorgeous Crystal Lake. The only thing that could have made the house more enjoyable is reading lamps next to the beds.

Nice little cottage

My family likes staying at country cottages and exploring the outdoors. This was a cute little place with a nice back area where we had fires and made smores . It was easy to walk the dog around and there are plenty of restaurants in walking distance. The lake is only a block away too. We would definitely stay again.

The Beulah Bungalow is the best!

The Beulah Bungalow was the perfect place for our vacation! It's location is just a few steps from the center of town with wonderful shops and places to eat. Crystal Lake is also just a short walk away. The house is clean, tastefully decorated, and has all the amenities required for a comfortable stay. Communication with Jason and Melissa was great! We had an awesome time in Beulah and are already looking forward to returning!

Cutest Cottage Ever

I stayed with my dog and my sister and brother-in-law. It’s a well supplied and very clean and very well decorated cottage. I’d stay there again. Lots of outdoor gathering space too, though we didn’t have the time to enjoy those. Only two things I would say to be aware of. The downstairs bedroom is easy to access. But anyone staying in the upper (beautifully spacious room with halfbath) will need to go up some narrow stairs. The cottage itself is accessed through a big parking lot to an alley, but don’t be scared off by that. Once you get yo the cottage it’s as cute as can be. Very safe. Very sweet place.

Beulah Bungalow

The property was gorgeous! More spacious than expected. The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful. Great location to downtown Beulah and the beach. I grew up in the area so the location was perfect for vision family and waking around downtown and enjoying the views. The property was well kept and clean. We were in town for some family events so I wanted to get there earlier than the 4pm check in time. The host was very accommodating! I couldn’t figure out how to get in (two entrances) so I called the host and they were very quick to respond, which was extremely helpful! Very family friendly! Plenty of space to enjoy large or small groups! All in all, such a great experience here! Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were extremely disappointed with the condition of this home. While the house itself has potential and could be quite charming, it was shockingly filthy when we arrived. There was old food in the window sill, sand on the floor, and even in one of the upstairs beds. The toilet had visible urine down the front, the bath mat was already wet and hiding something questionable underneath, and every surface was layered in dust that clearly hadn’t been touched in months. No surface felt clean or sanitary.I ended up having to wash all the linens and wipe down everything myself just to feel somewhat comfortable staying there. This property desperately needs a deep cleaning and better oversight before it's rented out again. Very disappointing experience.
