Winter Retreat | Hot Tub | Crystal Mountain ski

🌅 Wake to Crystal Lake Serenity
Wake to a tranquil Crystal Lake, where still waters invite coffee, quiet conversations, and morning paddles, followed by fun and laughter or lazy afternoons. As the day winds down, soak in stunning sunsets over Crystal Lake — a truly special Northern Michigan experience. The Nest offers luxurious comfort, thoughtful design, and prime lake access for families, couples, and friends looking to relax and reconnect.

🏖️ 100 Feet of Waterfront Bliss
Set on 100 feet of private Crystal Lake frontage, spend summer afternoons paddling across the lake on one of the provided kayaks or paddleboards, or unwind by the fire pit as the sky turns pink over the water. In winter, soak in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars after a day of skiing at Crystal Mountain.

📍 Perfect Central Location
Centrally located to all that Northern Michigan has to offer — just minutes to scenic M22, Pt. Betsie Lighthouse, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, Beulah, Traverse City, Crystal Mountain, and more.

🍳 Chef’s Kitchen & Dining
The fully-renovated chef’s kitchen was designed for connection — anchored by panoramic lake views and a 7' island, a 36" Thor stove, and a stocked coffee bar and beverage station. A private chef is available year-round for gourmet dinners right at home. Share meals at the spacious dining table for 8, or sip coffee from the window seat as the morning sun reflects on the lake.

🔥 Cozy Living Spaces
The inviting living area encourages relaxing afternoons and long conversations. Curl up by the electric fireplace, stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, or enjoy a game night as waves lap the shore. Every space is designed to make you feel right at home — comfortable, welcoming, and filled with light.
