Our multi-generational family had a terrific week in this property. Booking, check-in, and communication were all frictionless. We’ve rented a lot of VRBOs over the years, but this one stood out for how impeccably clean it was on arrival. The house’s position on the east end of Crystal Lake was ideal, with spectacular sunsets from the beach every evening. We made good use of the house’s kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and gas grill. Highly recommended!

This lovely home provided every comfort and convenience for our family of 11, including one toddler. We were fortunate to have had perfect weather for sightseeing and shopping in Beulah,Traverse City, and up the Leelanau Peninsula---and for taking in the beautiful views of Crystal Lake, just steps away from where we slept. We really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed at this property with a group of adult ladies for a weekend getaway. The house is clean and comfortable, plenty of space for a group. We loved that we were able to walk into town for dinner and shopping.

Awesome Family Beach Vacation

Our family had 7 adults and 2 babies (both under 1 y/o). This was the perfect spot for us to relax with the little ones and for others to kayak and have outdoor fun. The house was fully stocked and lots of thoughtful touches for kiddos/families. Highly recommend !!!!

What a great place to stay!

The property was fabulous. Crystal lake was literally outside your door. The owners have kayaks for use as well as paddle boards. There was a fire pit for fires. The house was clean and anything you needed was there. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Family Get-together

We recently enjoyed our third family vacation at the cottage. We love the location, the perfect view of Crystal Lake as well as easy walking distance to Beulah. The cottage is a perfect fit for our family, this year spanning children’s ages from four to fourteen. The lower level bunk area/tv room is a great area for the teenagers, and the four-year old spent many hours enjoying the beautiful sandy beach. The kayaks and paddle boards are always an attraction and a nice addition to fun along with the fire pit for S’mores. While the cottage was undergoing some renovation, the owners made every effort to guarantee that our stay would be comfortable and all that we expected from our previous stays. This year we enjoyed a beautiful new kitchen with gorgeous appliances and countertops. Another new bathroom is planned for next year. Communication with the owners is exceptional. We have already booked for 2024 and can’t wait to see the completed renovations next summer!

This place was awesome. We had such a great time with the beach so close to the house. The sunsets were amazing. The management team very responsive. We had no problems but they kept in touch with us several times during our stay. The house worked out beautifully for us. I took my two daughters and their families. They all had separate areas and room for the kids. We had plenty of space for everyone. The house was filled with anything you might need. And it was so clean when we checked in. I love when an owner keeps cleaning stuff handy. They had brooms and dust pans handy. So we could clean up the sand that the kids drugged in. They had a hand sprayer that had both cold and hot water to help with that. We were close to anything g you might want to do as well. Ice cream and the cherry restaurant was across the street. There was a quirky little animal place at the end of our street worth checking out if you have little ones. We hope to go back!!

Beautiful Lake House

This beautiful home checked all of the boxes for my family's vacation needs. It is situated right on the shores of Crystal Lake, within walking distance to town, has a private beach, lots of space and was clean! The well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed for meal preparation, as well as two dishwashers and two refrigerators. There were plenty of dishes and silverware, including plastic items for the kids. The bathrooms and bedrooms were roomy with kleenex, towels and toilet paper provided. The beach was clean and the water was warm and shallow. The owner provided paddle boards and kayaks, which we enjoyed very much, and there was a closet full of beach towels provided, as well. The town of Beulah is a short 10 minute walk away, and there you will find a few restaurants and a coffee shop. Not much in the way of shops, though. The Family Fare Grocery store is a short 10 minute drive away, and it had everything we needed. There is a wood-burning fire pit on the beach, but you will need to purchase your own firewood. There are walking paths and bike trails nearby. The town of Frankfort is a short drive away and has shops, restaurants, and a nice park for the kids to play in. Glen Arbor is 30 minutes north, with shops and restaurants. The owners of this property were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had during our stay. Any text we sent was returned within minutes. Highly recommend this property. We can't wait to return!

Our stay was incredible! We were here with our children and their families to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The lake and surrounding area can’t be beat. The location is convenient to town and very walkable to many things including The Cherry Hut and Dairy King. The house itself is roomy and has absolutely everything you could possibly want or need. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked. The house has paddle boards, kayaks, life jackets and my grandsons favorite-a floating raft. I personally enjoyed the large windows with unbelievable views of the lake. It was a very memorable stay and we hope to return some day.

Great property

The backyard was the best for all of our friends to hang out at and enjoy all day and night long. All 14 people slept comfortably all weekend. A short walk to a cute brewery with great food. Sitting outside one night we saw the northern lights!!

Spectacular

Best sunsets ever in this generously equipped home. We rode bikes to Lake Michigan on fantastic trail, enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, savored delicious home grilled dinners on the deck overlooking beautiful Crystal Lake. Easy access to fresh produce market, Dairy King, great golf and more. We were two families -- 11 total -- and all had comfortable accommodations. Great linens! Shhhh....don't tell anyone ;-)

Another Great Vacation

We found this property last year, returned again, and have already booked for next year. The home is perfect for our family, especially the lower level where teenage grandchildren have their own bunk space, bathroom, huge tv and ping pong table. The property is equipped with kayaks and paddle boards which we all used and enjoyed. Communication with the owners is excellent, and they text occasionally to be sure our week is going well and answer any questions. We all love the location and take full advantage of Beulah, the bike trail, and, of course, the spectacular sunsets. We can’t wait for our return!

Beautiful home with an even more stunning view

My children and I stayed here for a short fall trip visit. We loved the stay and having the water just steps away made the week. There were many rooms to choose from, allowing us all to spread out and relax. The town is just a short walk away, and they have a few shops for your convenience. The hone came with kayaks, paddle boards, and all the water toys you could want. Thanks for the great stay!

Feels like a tropical getaway

Crystal Lake is so gorgeous and so is this house. We went for a girls weekend and it was so perfect! Enough room, bathrooms, and things to do that we could enjoy the house, each other and our own privacy. We rode the bikes in to town and made food there both was fun. The view and being able to hear waves crashing around you at night felt like we were on the ocean. Very special spot.

End of summer fun

This property is exactly like the pictures! I had six adults and we had plenty of space. Spent all of our time at the beach and on the water. The dock is new and very safe and sturdy. The kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and beach towels! Great property!
