About the host

Hosted by George Lindquist

Host profile image
Our family has always loved the lakefront, and have been coming up to Crystal Lake since 1975. We rented for several years from Chimney Corners (we highly recommend them) before buying our own place.

Why they chose this property

We chose this place because the property is large, sitting on 30 acres of woods, and includes 400 feet of Crystal Lake beach frontage. This gives our extended family (and yours) lots of room to spread out. No need to worry about disturbing the neighbors.
