Great Location, Clean Spacious Home

Great location, walkable to downtown Beulah and the beach. Quick drive to attractions in the area and Frankfort. House comes with a well supplied kitchen and was very clean.

Great stay for family with kids

We had an amazing time staying at this beach house. The decor was fresh and beautiful, and there were lots of spaces for gathering and for privacy. The kids really enjoyed the bunkhouse style bedroom, and the beds were very comfortable. It was great to be able to use the kayaks in the garage and the fire pit out back. Although AC was listed, at least one of the bedrooms that was pictured in the listing with a window unit did not actually have one and it was sorely missed on the hotter nights of our stay.

Northern Michigan Beauty

Such a lovely place just across the road from Crystal Lake. Easy access to the public beach. Grandkids really appreciated using the kayaks and paddle boards that were available. House is nicely remodeled and furnished. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for our family. Sunsets over the lake are amazing!

Great Lake cottage vacation

Excellent location, conveniently located to downtown Beulah, Crystal Lake beaches and the Betsie River Bike Trail. The cottage was roomy, comfortable and clean. We loved hanging out on the porch and found the kitchen very well equipped. We took advantage of the bikes, kayak and grill. We had a fantastic week. Dan is a great host!

Beulah is a little gem we didn't know about that is less traveled than Frankfort. This place has a great lake view, and you can walk into town with several excellent restaurants. There is plenty of space in the home that is very nicely decorated. I definitely would go back!

Clean and Cozy Ski Weekend

Two families and a dog enjoyed hanging out in this clean, cozy place. It was only a 20-min drive to Crystal Mountain. We walked downtown for dinner to Five Shores Brewery one night and cooked in another night. It had all the utensils and cookware we needed to make our own taco bar. Views of the lake were beautiful. Would stay here again any time of year!

Great place

The house was very clean and had a lot of room for everyone to gather in the living room area. There were ceiling fans in almost every room, which was helpful because only window air conditioners in a coulple rooms on the 2nd floor. It was just a short walk to the public beach on Crystal lake. The lake is beautiful, very clear. There was pickle ball and tennis courts just steps away from the house. We could walk to downtown Beulah to eat dinner. We enjoyed the house and would definetily stay there again.
