About this property

Beautiful Beulah Lakehouse

Welcome to the Beulah Lakehouse! We are a 3 bedroom, 2 (full) bath newly renovated and decorated 1,850 square foot house which accomodates 11 people and is only 1 house off of Beulah Beach on beautiful Crystal Lake. The large dining room and living room accommodates everyone comfortably. We are located within a short walk to the shops, restaurants, coffee shop and the brewery in the Village of Beulah. Frankfort (and all it offers) is 15 minutes away and Traverse City is only a 40 minutes drive. There are numerous beautiful golf courses in the area, the beautiful Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes are only a 20 min. drive and the Pointe Betsie Lighthouse is only 15 minutes away. We have a watersports shop within walking distance (bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, etc.) to enjoy the lake or our amazing hiking/biking trails or you canoe or tube down the Betsie River. The newly renovated kitchen is well equipped so that you can enjoy many memorable meals. We have a patio table in the fenced in backyard and a Weber gas grill. Enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon beverage or read a book on our front porch. Enjoy a nice bonfire in our new fire pit. Whether you are looking for a quiet relaxing beach stay or want to take in the sights of the surrounding area, the Beulah Lakehouse is the perfect place this summer and fall.

This home in Beulah was perfect for our family. We walked to the beach daily. It's located near nice restaurants and quant shops. It was a short drive to all we love to do in Benzie County, such as Old Indian trail and Point Betsie. It is very roomy and was very clean.

You won't find a better location! This home is located less than a 5 minute walk to 3-4 restaurants, right across the street from a brewery, and a short walk to the beach as well as many Crystal Lake access points. The home is very well taken care of and is the perfect set-up to relax on your vacation. We enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch and a bonfire in the front yard in the evenings. It is a less than a 10 minute drive to 3 very enjoyable golf courses as well. We have loved using this home for our summer golf trip to Beulah for the past several years and look forward to continuing to do so!

Classy Accommodations in Beulah

My extended family and I were blessed by the many "little things" our hostess provided that made us feel like we were "home away from home," from the dishes and tools provided in the kitchen to the tasteful and fun artwork, from towels and sheets and plenty of pillows of many sizes and shapes to a large dining table where we were able to share family meals, from the beautiful setting (so near Crystal Lake) to the friendly neighbors, from the quick responses of our host family to the welcoming letter which clearly shared where we could get food, supplies, and how to check in and out...we loved our stay and would choose this house again if we find ourselves in Beulah, Michian.

Our stay at this house was wonderful! The house was very clean. The family room had a cozy cabin feel. There was plenty of room to spread out. Checking in and out was so easy. The owner is quick to respond with any questions. You can see Crystal Lake from the backyard. A small public beach is right there which was perfect! The house is on the main strip of the little town of Beulah. You can walk to little shops and restaurants from the house. We would definitely rent this house again!

Great summer spot

Really enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, and the few options for food and some shops that were open during the day. There was a great coffee and breakfast spot as well down town. There were plenty of beds to accommodate the group. Also, the neighbors were very friendly and were kind to allow us to unload cars in the dividing street since parking was a bit of a juggle. The only concern I had of the property were the stairs with young kids. The rails were wide enough for them to slip through on the second floor, stairs were slick, and the lack of a hand rail at the end caused a couple falls. The beach is public and the dock is not separate though it’s shared/private use. I’m not sure I caught that in the description before booking. I would come back, but not with kids.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jun, 2022
Hi Chris, thank you so much for your comments and feedback - I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and I have a few recommendations that might help with the issue you noted. Yes, our handrail does stop one step short of the floor, so for especially young children, I have a gate available for guests to use if you prefer to block off the stairs. As far as the driveway being in the back, most guests may find it easier to simply bring luggage to the side door rather than walking around to the front. I am very surprised that you would prefer to return without kids, as this has always been a comfortable place for my family when we had young children, but we would be happy to have you again.

Quick Weekend Getaway

This house was amazing!! The location was spot on! You are literally across the street from the brewery and able to sit on the front porch with your morning coffee or evening cocktail and people watch while your littles play in the front yard. The front yard is very large and the street not very busy at all. Restaurants are literally within feet of your front door and two large grocery stores about a mile away that have almost anything you can think of that you may need. The water is only a short 1 minute walk out of the backyard. The boat launch is right there and the private dock is 4 places down from the boat launch where you can sit in the sand or on the dock. Inside the house was beautiful, 3 bedrooms, master downstairs with queen bed and 2 bedrooms upstairs with 2 double and one with 3 singles. The house has plenty of room for a large group along with along with a gas BBQ in the back, patio seating in the backyard to have dinner outside and plenty of kitchen supplies for whatever you need. There are stairs to the upstairs but a gate was added to make sure the littles don't go up or down. I had spotty cell reception (ATT) but my husband had service while we were there (Verizon). We both hooked up to the wifi and had no issues. When arriving, just note the parking fo the home is in the back of the house, so you do need to go around the corner to park in the garage/driveway. There also is street parking in front of the house but that usually had a few folks parking there who were heading to the restaurants. Definitely recommend the home and will be returning.

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Johnson

Host profile image
We purchased this "cottage" when our daughters were babies. It has been evolving from a paneled, outdated cottage with an overgrown yard to our beautiful Beulah Lakehouse. We spent all our summers here until the girls got out of college. Those were the happiest summers for our family. We and our many guests enjoyed the sweet Village Of Beulah and the surrounding areas. There’s so much to do from the many local coffee, shops, ice cream, shops, restaurants, hikes, beach walks, a fire on the beach at Point Betsie Lighthouse, the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and, of course, beautiful Crystal Lake and Lake Michigan. We hope that you can have a taste of our Beulah Summer for the time that you are our guests.

Why they chose this property

We are so proud of the recent renovations to the Beulah Lakehouse (updated and newly renovated kitchen) and numerous updates throughout. Also, I have enjoyed giving the exterior a fresh look with a fresh paint job and some new landscaping. Please enjoy our adorable front porch where you can enjoy your morning coffee , an afternoon read, an evening cocktail or an evening fire. There is a roller blind on the porch. We are steps away from the quaint Village of Beulah with all that entails: coffee shop, bagel/deli, restaurants, sport shop (kayak, bike and stand up paddle board rentals, Five Shores Brewery) but most importantly, we are one house off of beautiful Beulah Beach on Crystal Lake. Just steps away from the beach, boat ramp, T-Dock (great fishing) and the most exquisite lake. Crystal Lake is spring fed (crystal clear).

What makes this property unique

The unique benefit of staying at the Beulah Lakehouse is that we are centrally located to so many activities (wineries, breweries, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, the port town of Frankfort which is only 15 minutes away, Pointe Betsie Lighthouse (15 minutes), and Traverse City, Lake Michigan). There are numerous nearby golf courses, horseback riding, hiking and biking trails. We are 15 minutes from Lake Michigan.
