Enjoy this private retreat seated in the woods of Thompsonville on your next family vacation or getaway with friends! The furnished deck and private balcony look out to the foliage and provide great places to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Enjoy nights out by the firepit roasting marshmallows under the stars for some classic s'mores. The wood-burning stove will keep everyone warm on colder days and the full kitchen is ready to make comforting homecooked meals for the whole group. Don't forget to stop by the hot tub in the Crystal Spa & Fitness Center at Crystal Mountain Resort! Plus, if you stay during the colder months, this home makes for a great home base for a ski trip to Crystal Mountain.
Sitting at the base of Crystal Mountain, guests will be able to experience resort activities nearby such as skiing, snowboarding, and hiking! The mountain offers runs for all experience levels during winter months, so the whole family can have fun on fresh powder. During warmer times of the year, take a leisurely walk and view the unique art exhibits in Michigan Legacy Art Park or play a round of golf on the resort's golf course. If you brought little ones along, spend warm days at the Park at Water's Edge, a waterpark featuring slides and fountains to cool off in. For a day trip head over to Lake Michigan for a day on the sand and a swim in clear waters just 18 miles away.
Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Private gas grill
Shared pool, sauna, hot tub, and tennis court
All resort amenities must be paid for separately on a pay-as-you-go basis through the resort. Vacasa offers lodging only.
