The best vacation home for a family of 4!! Close to amenities but far enough to still have your privacy. Neighbors were lovely as well. Highly recommend

Had a great time at Crystal Lake. The house was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and quiet. Spent 2 days on the water and 2 days exploring. Easy in and out and very responsive. Would stay here again if/when in the area.

Perfect vacation spot

The cottage was beautifully renovated and very clean. The beach was perfect for our 18 month old and it was stocked with everything we needed to make our vacation perfect. Katy is always great with communication and we would absolutely book this place again!

Small yet comfortable house directly on the lake. Assistance and coordination with the management team was excellent. A very good organization.

We loved our time at Deckside Dreams. The beds were heaven, so cozy and comfortable. Well appointed kitchen, and huge smart TV. Great location to nearby Michigan treasures to discover. We will definitely be back!

Spending a week enjoying the beauty of Crystal Lake from this charming home quickly became a favorite with our family. We spent more time than we ever have just enjoying the house and outside amenities. The star gazing over Crystal Lake was amazing! Every little detail inside and outside was thought of for the guests enjoyment. It was just perfect! Our host Katy was friendly, thoughtful and sincere. We give this property a five star rating. Our next stay can't come soon enough!

Hidden (Somewhat) Gem

This property is phenomenal. Not sure if it was recently renovated, but the interior is set up perfectly and is super comfortable. The separate guest cabin is actually a really nice feature. Probably not the best set up for a young family, but it’s perfect for 3 or 4 adults. The only thing that would’ve made this better is if there was one more room. But that’s not a knock against the property at all. The walkout beach is super nice. If Ironman Michigan 70.3 comes back this is probably top of our list.

We had a wonderful time on Crystal Lake at Deckside Dreams! The updated cottage and guest house were very clean, beautifully renovated, cozy and comfortable. Direct access to the lake allowed us to easily use the kayaks provided, swim, or enjoy the fantastic view while just lazily sitting on the shoreline. We could explore the towns and events nearby with ease from this location.
