We enjoyed the spacious, charming and family friendly lodge on Crystal resort property. Angela our host was accessible and gracious. Everything was as planned! Our family is requesting a repeat next year! It was our grandchildren’s first skiing adventure and Crystal resort was perfect!

Angela was very welcoming and prompt to answer any questions. Although the kitchen is small, it is very well stocked. House was very clean. Location to slopes was very good. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a ski trip with a family of 12. Would recommend to others.

No problems. Plenty of room for the group and clean, with plenty of parking. The review made me assign stars for the skiing, but we didn't ski since it wasn't ski season. The host was very responsive.

Perfect for our extended family!

Great option for large families or groups. We had 8 adults and there was space for all of us (and could have accommodated more). The main bedroom/apartment above the attached garage was a real bonus!

Great Place!!!

Very clean, Roomy and perfect location. This place is very roomy and holds a bigger group very well. The complementary shuttle was a great perk. Shuttle is on call and says 30min but we never waited longer then 5min.

Beautiful Cabin…Great Location

We had the best time celebrating my husband’s 30th birthday with our friends. The cabin was just perfect and that master suite is huge almost like an apartment. Very clean. We had the best time! We will for sure be back!

Great House and Great Customer Service

Unique home with lots of options for sleeping. Living areas and main deck outside are a bit small but everything was comfortable. Dealt directly with the homeowner which was fabulous! Angela was timely in her responses to my questions and available if we had any issues. Plenty of parking for many cars. Great house overall!

Fantastic & Clean

Can’t say enough good things about this property and the owners. They thought of everything and the property was private and extremely clean. Very spacious and the location at Crystal mountain is perfect for families that love golf. Great location with access to the Crystal Mountain resort activities, market, etc. So much to do.

My wife and her family spend a week every summer in the Thompsville area and typically try to stay on Crystal Mountain. The owner was incredibly nice and communicated with us very well. Unfortunately, one of the a/c units went out prior to our arrival; the homeowner had two window units in that made it feel comfortable with the exception of one evening. The a/c unit was fixed by the time we left so that wasn’t an issue. The one thing we noticed is we thought there was one additional room that wasn’t. Otherwise, this was a great stay and completely recommend the house.

Fabulous Location - Great Cabin

Rented 4 days, 3 nights with 6 persons. Crystal Mt. complex is great – lots of activities & beautiful grounds. We enjoyed pickleball, art park hike & restaurants. The cabin layout - Enter on ground floor w/ small living space, bedroom one, full bath & laundry. Go upstairs to main living room, kitchen, bedroom two (same size as bedroom one), full bath, large outside deck. Loft bedroom overlooks living room w/ queen and bunk bed & bathroom (only a tub). From the living room follow the hallway to enter an attached unit – huge bedroom, sm bedroom w/ trundle (humming from below this room), full bath, kitchen & laundry. Items to bring – body wash, shampoo, conditioner, Kleenex, wood/starter log if using firepit, matches/lighter. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A couple of minor issues, dishwasher & stove, that we messaged owners. Would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Angela B.

Host profile image
Hello, we are a family of four and love being up north at Crystal Mountain and the surrounding areas! We live just two hours away, so we try to go north to our favorite spot of the weekend! We decided to host because the expensive floor plan and location works so well for large groups! We wanted to share the experiences that we love so much as a family! We love a small town feel of Beulah and going into Frankfort!.And Crystal is so clean and has everything you need for a great day whether it’s summer or winter!

Why they chose this property


We absolutely chose this house based on location, the large windowsill and how well kept it was!! You just can’t beat the proximity to golf, pool and skiing! The expansive house and double lot was just a bonus!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because it’s private yet so close, plenty of room and it boasts a wraparound deck that is a real plus for morning coffee,lunch outdoors or evening grilling!
