There was ample room for parking ATV trailers. This is always a concern when traveling in a big group. We really liked the split units that opened up to a whole house. We were traveling with children and it was nice to have extra tv for them in second living room. 2 refrigerators was a bonus. Access to trails were close. We made great memories with family and friends.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled your group enjoyed the spacious accommodations, ample trailer parking, and convenient access to nearby trails! Our private Crystal Mountain lodge is the perfect year-round getaway for families, friends, and outdoor enthusiasts! Accommodating up to 20 guests with 12 beds, two fully equipped kitchens, multiple living areas, and plenty of parking for trucks, trailers, ATVs, and snowmobiles, there's room for everyone and all their toys! Whether you're exploring Northern Michigan's ATV and snowmobile trails, hitting the slopes at Crystal Mountain, golfing, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing on our beautiful 8.5-acre wooded property, adventure awaits in every season! We're so glad you made lasting memories together. That's exactly what our lodge is all about! We look forward to welcoming you back for your next Northern Michigan adventure!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled that Crystal Lodge was such a great fit for your family and that having both sides of the lodge made gathering for meals and spending time together even more enjoyable. With room for up to 20 guests, it’s designed to bring families and friends together while still offering plenty of space to spread out. We hope you also had the chance to enjoy the nearby golf, fishing, kayaking, and everything Northern Michigan has to offer. We’d love to welcome you back for another memory-filled stay!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review and for choosing Crystal Lodge for your Northern Michigan getaway! We’re truly grateful you spent your time with us and made Crystal Lodge part of your memories with family and friends. One of the things guests love most about Crystal Lodge is the experience itself — the rustic Up North charm, the peaceful wooded setting, evenings around the fire pit, and being just minutes from everything Crystal Mountain and Northern Michigan have to offer. Whether it’s skiing, golf, exploring Traverse City, or simply relaxing together, Crystal Lodge is designed to bring people together and create unforgettable moments. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon!– Ed & Julie

The home was spacious and comfortable for our big group, and we felt like we had plenty of privacy with the wooded lot and campfire space outside. The house was well-stocked with towels, kitchen items, and toiletries, and it had ample parking for our vehicles. The hosts were responsive and helpful with any questions we had as well. We truly enjoyed our family gathering and would absolutely stay again!

Thank you so much for the incredible review—we’re truly glad your group had such a great stay at Crystal Lodge! What makes Crystal Lodge different isn’t just the space—it’s the intention behind it. We’ve designed it specifically for groups and families to gather comfortably without feeling on top of each other. From the wooded setting that gives you real privacy, to the outdoor fire pit that naturally brings everyone together at night, it’s meant to create those moments you actually remember. Inside, we focus on eliminating the little frustrations that most rentals overlook—plenty of towels, a fully stocked kitchen that can handle real meals (not just snacks), and thoughtful touches throughout so you’re not running to the store on day one. It’s set up the way we’d want it if we were traveling with our own family. And just as important, we stay engaged as hosts. When you reach out, you’re not getting a delayed or automated response—you’re getting real support so your trip stays stress-free. That combination—privacy, functionality for groups, and hands-on hosting—is what truly sets Crystal Lodge apart from the typical vacation rental. We’d love to have you back anytime to make even more great memories!!

Joe, thank you so much for the 5-star review and for choosing Crystal Lodge! We loved hosting you. 🌟 We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay—our goal is to make Crystal Lodge feel like an easy, cozy home base with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bedding, fast Wi-Fi, and simple touches for relaxing together (morning coffee on the porch and evening laughs around the table are our favorites). For future visits, Crystal Mountain Resort has something for every season—skiing and snowboarding, scenic trails, and cozy dining in the winter; golf, hiking/biking, chairlift views, and spa days when it’s warm. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and unwinding just minutes from the lodge. Thanks again for being a fantastic guest, Joe. We’d love to welcome you back anytime—whether it’s a snowy weekend on the slopes or a sunny escape in the pines!
