This space was perfect for us. Very cozy and well srocked with plenty of cooking supplies and extra towels. The secluded feeling cul-de-sac and walking trail was just right for traveling with our dogs.

Great quick trip Up North to hit the slopes. This house has everything you need for a nice weekend stay. It was very clean, provided top of the line amenities, and Graham was very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Beulah/Crystal Mountain area!

I rented this space as a little weekend getaway for some skiing at Crystal Mountain Space for myself and my 2 kids. The space was super cute with a lot of character and a great size for the 3 of us. Host was incredibly fast to respond to the couple of questions I had beforehand and once again while on site. Would love to visit again in the summer months to explore more!

This property was exactly what we needed for a 2 night stay! It was within walking distance to the beach, was driveable to our main activity, and was modern and clean. Love that they accepted our dog, which is hard to find in a lot of places!

Our family of 3 (two adults and one toddler) had a lovely stay at The Weekender. Just a short walk down to the park / beach area which worked great for our son. Semi-secluded and far enough away from any main streets to never be bothered by noise. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Great spot for a ski trip

Location was great for proximity to Crystal Mountain. Allowed us to bring our dog along for the trip. House was very clean, perfect size for our family of 4 and dog. Walking distance to downtown Beulah was a plus as well.

Perfect Cottage and Great Location

My wife and I chose the Weekender for a quick Anniversary getaway which was perfect for what we needed. The property was recently renovated, and the location was ideal for exploring that part of northern Michigan, including the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Definitely recommend.

Two day stay

Property was newly updated and exactly what we were looking for…only a short drive/walk to town and crystal lake. Kitchen was fully stocked and had just about everything we needed. The hosts even left a complimentary bottle of wine. Would definitely stay again.

Close and comfy by downtown!

Great location close to down town, beaches and bike trail! Using your bike is of convenience but coming back up the hill is a tad challenging. Overall we loved our stay it was perfect for my family of 3! The beaches and restaurants were great! We hope to be back!!

Beulah Beauty

We just finished a quick 2 night visit, and could not have enjoyed our stay more! The property was as advertised, and was a complete gem from the very tasteful and modern decor in the home, perfect walking distance to downtown and a very nice outdoor deck complete with a BBQ and fire pit. We plan on renting again in the future. Outstanding!!

Small and cozy

Cute place, nicely updated. Would recommended for a 4 person family or smaller. Could use some extra power outlets/strips. Barn doors look nice but can be noisy. We were able to have our dog with us which we loved.

Sweet Cottage, great location

The cottage is updated with some original charm like the hardwood floors and little surprise backdoor. The back yard is woodsy and private. I appreciate some of the attention to detail like all the hooks!! Hooks by the front door and in the bedrooms were very useful, I didn't miss the lack of closet space. The kitchen has everything you need. The wifi and smart TV worked great. The shower is huge! Some things to note: The bunkbeds in the 2nd bedroom don't look suitable for adults. Would be great for kids! We didn't need the beds, but I appreciated having the extra space for my suitcase. The cottage is on a dead end street with really no other cars driving by, but it's right off a busy road. The sound wasn't bothersome, but need to keep an eye on pets and children. Very easy walk to the town and the beach.
