Beautiful place with excellent views and a private beach. Plenty of room for our family of 10 adults, 1 teen, and four under four. The kitchen had everything we needed for lots of fun family meals. Thanks to Janay for the great communication! We will look for this place when booking this area next time!
House was as described, clean, and Janay was very easy to communicate with. Great house for group trips with plenty of space and easy private access to Crystal Lake
Excellent property. All the beds, and there were many, were above average than most hotels. Well stocked modern kitchen. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful views from outdoor decking system. Multiple seating areas. All the comforts of home.
Our stay was perfect to celebrate our upcoming wedding. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. A short drive to Frankfort , glen arbor, or traverse city!
Lots of beds and space to spread out! We had 4 families and it was perfect! Crystal Mountain was a short 10-15minute drive so coming back to this beautiful home and having dinner and driving back was perfect for skiing!
The pictures don’t do this house justice! Absolutely beautiful and very clean. We had a big group and there was space for everyone. Would definitely book again!
This property was just what we needed for our group this past weekend. It offered everything that we needed for our home away from home. We would love to experience it in the summer enjoying the beautiful lake and surroundings. Highly recommend!
From the start, Janay was so welcoming. We were able to stay at their beautiful home with a group of friends for a ski weekend! Our large group fit perfectly at this house. It was clean, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. Janay was quick to respond if we ever needed anything. We will definitely be back!
Wonderful layout for our large group of women. Plenty of beds (no bunkbeds!) and bathrooms. 2 large areas to sit and visit and a big table for eating and playing games.
We are a large family ranging in age of 1 year to over 70 years old, this house was exactly what we needed and more. The pictures in the listing are beautiful but it is even more beautiful in person. The owners were very helpful, answered all of our questions before our trip and responded quickly when we had a question during our stay. We had one of our best family trips ever, we are looking forward to returning!
We had a few families gather for a ski weekend with our children. The house is so perfect for sleeping multi families. The kids has the best time together. Huge table for everyone to enjoy a meal. The family room is the perfect gathering space. Can’t wait to go back!
We had a wonderful week staying in this lake house. It is well-maintained and feels like home. We love how the bedroom areas are separated. There is plenty of room to spread out. The deck has a great view of the lake. The beach area has enough room for all of us to hang out and play. We love the fire pit on the deck.
We had a great time staying at this house! It was huge, beautiful and well-equipped. We also had fun dipping in the lake and enjoying the view from the the deck. Janay was communicative, accommodative, and quick to answer any question we had. Thank you very much for allowing us to hold our retreat at your house!

About the host
Hosted by Janay
Crystal Lake has been our happy place for many years. I first came here as a young girl with my aunt and uncle, and the memories have stayed with me ever since. Later, my husband and I began bringing our own children, renting in the area for several summers.
In 2013, while out on a walk with friends, we stumbled upon this amazing property. From that moment, we knew it was meant to be. We feel truly blessed to now call it our second home. Over the years, we’ve filled it with laughter, family gatherings, and countless special moments with friends.
We hope you and your loved ones will enjoy it as much as we do, and that you’ll make lasting memories of your own here at Crystal Lake.
Why they chose this property
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This property boasts one of the most desirable locations on Crystal Lake. Just minutes from Beulah, Frankfort, Benzonia, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City, you’ll have effortless access to the very best of Northern Michigan.
The setting itself is nothing short of exceptional. Guests enjoy serene privacy, breathtaking panoramic views, and direct access to Crystal Lake’s pristine, sparkling waters. Whether your ideal day includes boating, paddle boarding, or simply lounging lakeside, this property makes it effortless.
Beyond the water, you’ll find endless opportunities to indulge—boutique shopping, antiquing, championship golf, winter skiing, and an array of outstanding dining experiences. Here, every detail comes together to create the perfect balance of relaxation, recreation, and refined lakefront living.
What makes this property unique
We’re confident you’ll understand why we call this our happy place the moment you step inside. The sweeping lake views, spacious living areas, and private beach are truly hard to beat.
Unlike many vacation rentals that see their owners only once or twice a year, this is truly our second home. We spend a great deal of time here, and because of that, we’ve put exceptional care into every detail—thoughtful décor, quality bedding, comfortable furnishings, and a fully stocked kitchen designed for entertaining.
Another difference is how we connect with our guests. Rather than working through a management company, we enjoy handling reservations personally. This allows us to ensure that every guest is fully informed, well-prepared, and warmly welcomed.
It’s very important to us that your expectations are not only met but exceeded. We take pride in going the extra mile so you and your loved ones can relax, feel at home, and create lasting memories during your stay.
