The Hillside Hideaway at Crystal Lake - Gorgeous with Great Outdoor Deck and Spa!

Beautiful property and great attention to detail. Soft bedding and towels, just like home. Loved the privacy and communication with the the rental agent couldn't have been better!

The house was very clean and the agent was great. Was more than expected! We plan to book it again. The only problem I could find was that one of the toilet paper rolls was on backwards. 🙄

Great host, great location, will be back.

Very well taken care of. No problems with check in or anything at the cabin.

We had such a great weekend getaway here! It was clean, comfortable and secluded and private feeling while only being minutes away from downtown Beulah, will definitely be planning a return trip!

The propertiy was as advertised, with clean rooms and a furnace that switches over to propane if the power go's out. If I had a question the host got back to me within a half hour and check in was easy.

We had a great time!

A great weekend getaway and pet-friendly.

Absolutely lovely!

Great house in a secluded area! Better than the pictures!

Great spot, great stay.

Beautiful house and location - stocked with supplies

This is a beautiful log cabin in a perfect location. The cabin was exceptionally well stocked with all the necessities, comfortable furniture and sleeping arrangements, and provided an overall sense of tranquility. I really couldn’t have asked for more.

The cabin and property were beautiful! We were so comfortable there and loved that they accommodated dogs. We were up north to get married and we're glad to be able to come back to such a relaxing space after a long and stressful (in a good way) day. It was everything we could have hoped for. 10/10, highly recommend.

Wonderfully private yet close to everything. Wonderful setting for either a romantic or family retreat.

Nice jacuzzi, pet friendly, awesome location

Just a quick 2 night stay for a golf getaway. Location was perfect for the courses that were played. Booking was just a bit confusing as you end up dealing with a mgmt company and not VRBO. Property was as listed. a bit musty but to be expected when kept closed up and hot tub looked to need some maintenance/cleaning. All in all, would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. It was comfortable, clean and secluded atop a large hill. Quiet nature surrounded us, giving plenty of privacy while enjoying the hot tube after our long days of walking through nature and beaches with some trips to the sleeping bear dunes. This was a very enjoyable location!

The house and location are very nice. There are several things that need updating. The grill and gas fireplace are both old and need replaced. The hot tub had sand and leaves in the bottom. The railing on the rear deck was broken and had rotten sections and the deck boards had sections that need replaced.

Great spot to get to Dunes/Crystal Lake/Glen Arbor areas

The pictures don't do this cabin justice! So many sitting areas with couches and comfy throws, and outdoor spaces to listen to the birds on the huge deck or read a book on the front porch. Location was great for us as we made a couple trips to Sleeping Bear but close enough to go cherry picking in Traverse City. We found the basement layout fine; the half bath is in the laundry room but there is a door separating it from the bunk bed space. Kitchen very functional, hot tub was very hot and the driveway was not as scary as the description made it sound (although we never encountered a neighbor car which would have definitely been interesting). It felt like home from the first step inside!

Fantastic off lake and private location. Excellent accommodations and architecture. Good location for site seeing and outdoor activities or private socializing. Good hiking, canoeing, boating, swimming, art shows and hot tub. Good food nearby. Very comfortable and cozy.

We had a great stay at the Hillside Hideaway. The property was extremely clean and spacious. Check-in process was seamless, and Jean the property manager was very helpful. Comfortable beds, and we were happy to find that the main floor bathroom had a shower head added to the tub! Great location, only a few minutes from Crystal Lake Marina where we had our boat rental. The deck is beautiful, and we loved having the hot tub to relax in after a long day on the lake. The only issues we experienced were with the grill and bonfire. It took a while for us to get the grill going, and only the front burners worked. We tried many times to get the bonfire lit, with no luck. I texted Jean, and she advised that the ignition button no longer works, and gave instructions on how to light it. We tried a few more times with no luck, so we didn’t end up being able to use it, which was definitely a bummer, but not the end of the world. Hopefully they get it repaired for future stays, since it’s a great amenity to have in the evenings. Overall we’re very happy with everything and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun weekend getaway!

Property and house are gorgeous! The property managers are fantastic and highly responsive. The sleeping bear dunes has phenomenal views and the lake itself was awesome! We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful property within five minutes of a beach access! Had a great time!

This place is such a cozy spot with a beautiful view of the lake. Genuinely loved everything about this place. This is our new favorite vacation spot!

Private with a nice hot tub and a cozy cabin

My husband and I loved our stay. We truly wouldn’t have changed a thing! We loved the private location- felt like we were alone in the woods! Loved the hot tub which was very clean. We loved the decor, cleanliness, the great fireplace and very comfortable king bed. We’d recommend this place to anyone and look forward to returning!

“Our overall impression is: Impressed!” -The Husband“An adorable stay that was everything we wanted!” -The Wife“We loved the hot tub!” -The Kids

I stayed here for a get away vacation. A chance to relax and unwind. The property was very quiet and private. The house is very clean and has plenty of amenities. I was staying by myself, but it would be great for a family, there is pleof sleeping.I loved the fireplace and hot tub. The loft upstairs is cozy too For watching a movie.

Romantic, clean

The cabin was immaculate. Easily the nicest and cleanliest vacation home we have rented. Eric and Jean were easy to communicate with and very friendly. 10/10 would definitely recommend this cabin, or any property from this group just based on this one.

The property was perfect for our March getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub, fireplace, seclusion (yet close to lots to do), and the condition of the property.

Lovely winter get away! Cozy cabin, with lots of room and the host has everything you need. Very enjoyable stay.

The cabin is perfect for family, the property is gorgeous and we loved our time skiing at Crystal Mountain.

This cabin was beautiful and cozy. Super clean and the property manager answers very quick. I would definitely recommend this cabin!!

Wonderful place to stay. As advertised. Super clean, comfortable, and great location. Home has everything you need for an amazing stay Property manager is quick to respond to questions and very accommodating, we were running late and they made sure lights were on for us We will be back again!

What a perfect setting to welcome in 2025! The cottage was clean and well-stocked with everything we would need for our stay including a Christmas tree and holiday lights on the bannister. The fireplace was cozy while we played the many games provided by the host. A soak in the hot tub eased our muscles from sledding and hiking on nearby trails. Thank you to the hosts for making us feel so welcome.

My husband and I absolutely adored this little log cabin. Small yet spacious and VERY clean! We loved the wood burning fireplace and enjoyed the hot tub as well. Nice view of the lake through the trees. Cabin had everything we needed and was just so cute and cozy! Would definitely recommend it, and would love to come back some day.

Great place. Great location.

We stayed for a few days and it was a great experience. The check in process is completely painless. The location of the cabin is tough to beat as you’re 15 mins from Frankfort and 30 mins from Sleeping Bear Dunes/Glen Arbor. The cabin itself is spacious and clean. It comes stocked with everything you could need. The wood burning fireplace and hot tub were much appreciated after a long day of hiking! We will definitely look to stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in that part of Michigan.

My husband and I stayed with our 2 dogs. It was soooo clean and well stocked. The yard and deck were beautiful! We had so much fun on the trails and seeing the local sights. The lake was beautiful. Host was incredibly helpful when I found myself needing something important shipped to the cabin . Highly recommended!
