Our stay at the Oar House was fantastic. The property is extremely clean and has all the creature comforts you need. We cooked several meals in the well appointed kitchen and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Communication with the host was great, especially considering we stayed during the holiday break. We would definitely stay at the Oar House again.
Hot tub was a must to have and it was great. The basement where my husband and I stayed was definitely way colder, but we didn't mind the extra layers of blankets. I am sure it's different in the summer time and would be perfect. It's an adorable house and had what we needed! Def recommend.
We had my sister’s bachelorette party stay at this house for the weekend. The house is so cute and we all had a great time! The hot tub/fire pit was perfect for relaxing at the end of the day! Thanks again!
My girlfriends and I stayed for the weekend and absolutely fell in love with this place! The place is beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything we needed. The quaint downtown Beulah is an easy stroll down the road with the stunning Crystal Lake view right across the road. The hot tub was a real treat and would really be the cherry on top after a day on the slopes in the winter too! I will definitely be booking here again.
We enjoyed staying in Beulah. It was a short walk to the beach and coffee shops. The bike trail was right there. The house was extremely well equipped and beautifully decorated. The outdoor deck and patio was an added bonus. The hot tub was lovely and would be extremely welcome in the winter months. Overall, we were pleased and highly recommend it.
Well, we went to the area to do some skiing, other nature did not cooperate so instead we got to explore. This home is in the perfect spot to check out all that Northwest Michigan has to offer. It was nice after a long day of hikes to soak in the hot tub. The communication from the owner could not have been better!
Home is beautiful inside and out; exactly per listing. Clean, spacious with high end appliances.
Cd cd with all amenities you would ever need. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, porch spaces, close
Ff proximity to lake, shops, and restaurants. Hosts thought of every detail to make our stay perfect. Excellent communication and availability to answer questions.

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood in Beulah because it offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The house is steps from Crystal Lake, where the water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or just enjoying a sunset. It's also walking distance to the charming downtown, which has great local spots like Lucky Dog restaurant, L'Chiyam Delicatessen, and a local brewery. I love that this area feels like a hidden gem—peaceful and private, but close enough to everything you need. Whether you're here to unwind or explore, the neighborhood has something for everyone.

What makes 'The Oar House' truly unique is its perfect blend of modern-boho design, Instagram-worthy features, and premium amenities.

The outdoor space is just as special, with a hot tub, a natural gas fire bowl, and two decks for hanging out. Plus, it's only 90 steps to public access at Crystal Lake, where you can catch incredible sunsets. We also offer kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes for guests to enjoy, and the house is just a short walk from downtown Beulah’s best spots.
