About the host

Hosted by Janay

Host profile image
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.
