Great stay for 10 of us on a golf trip. Plenty of room and easy instruction of getting in and out. Only downfall was no AC in the hot summer months. But with windows open, it wasn’t bad at all.

Great Stay

This house was very close to many sites: Frankfort, Beulah beach, Iron Fish Distillery. The house was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was stocked with the utensils and cookware needed for us to make dinner. Plenty of blankets and towels were provided. We enjoyed having our coffee in the morning in the screened in front porch.

Great Family vacation destination!

Home was so nicely equipped and furnished. Enjoyed the screened-in porch and outside firepit. We could walk to the resort activities. Close enough to Sleeping Bear Dunes for a half-day trip with little ones! Highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Rita Wieber

Host profile image
Rita and Renee are sisters who grew up in Lansing, Michigan. After enjoying winter skiing at many Michigan resorts, their parents invested in a cottage at Crystal Mountain resort in 1999. In 2005, they had the opportunity to purchase the last available lot in the Club #1 at Crystal and had the Mountain Resort custom built. Their families have enjoyed many years of year-round fun at Crystal. With growing families, the sisters are now sharing their beautiful cottage with other families and friends to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Take a 10-minute walk to skiing, golf and all of the amenities at the resort. Relax in the cottage nestled behind beautiful pine trees on a quiet cul-de-sac. Take a little drive and you will find yourself on the beach of Lake Michigan in the quaint resort town of Frankfurt, enjoying a cherry pie in Beaulah, or climbing the sandy dunes of Sleeping Bear. Any type of escape you are seeking is all available from our comfortable, homey cottage.
