    Thank you to the property manager for another wonderful week on Crystal Lake. Love this cottage, it doesn't lack for any relax at the cottage for a week amenities, and the walkability to lovely downtown Beulah and the back door being on the rail trail is wonderful. We will be back!

    Could not be better. Cottage is clean as a whistle. Everything you could want is provided. The view, in all directions, is beautiful. Host was just a text away. I have been coming to Crystal Lake since the 40's. This is the very best.

    Perfect location, beautiful view. Everything provided. Spent 90% of our time on the porch. 600 square feet, but feels very comfy and roomy. We will do everything we can to spend time in this little castle by the sea. Thank you Dan.

    This was our second stay at Dan’s cabin on the south shore of Crystal Lake. The location is right on the water. It’s a lovely, peaceful setting. The cabin itself is very comfortable. It’s clean, well-appointed and has every amenity you can think of. Dan is very responsive. We loved our stay and already booked next year.

    Great house! So neat and well stocked, and matched the pictures and description perfectly. We loved the close proximity to the public beach and the main street in Beulah. Host was friendly and communicative, and even left us a couple little welcome gifts. All around excellent experience, and we highly recommend!!

    I wrote a review last year so won't be so lengthy this year (and next year is booked already!). The owners are wonderful people and this property doesn't lack for any conveniences. The owners have done a wonderful job with the compact space, and hanging out on the covered porch all week is wonderful, only a few feet from the Lake. Great fun to walk into Beulah with it's wonderful shops and eating & drinking spots. Much to do in the surrounding area. Highly recommend this property, it's a gem.

    Loved the cottage! We have a great week at Dan and Janice's property. As others have said, its well stocked. It has everything you can think of and more. My husband loved the shed and wished it was his own. The location is incredible...right on the water and so walkable to town. There is so much to do on Crystal Lake and in the area. We SUPed, hiked Arcadia Bluffs, spent time in Frankfort and at the Beach, went to Gwen Frostic prints, played pickleball, biked the Betsie trail; but also just chilled out at the cottage. It was wonderful.

    This was our 3rd year staying at this cottage. It is the cleanest place I’ve stayed at. The location is great. Very comfortable. Dan is a great host; checked to make sure all was going well. I recommend this place

    We have been visiting Crystal Lake for about 50 years and this is a fantastic property. We have stayed in many rentals around the world, and this is probably the best equipped property we have ever stayed in. Nothing is missing, and the property is top notch in every way, beautifully renovated a few years ago. Everything works, great water pressure, laundry equipment, air conditioning run for 30 minutes to take the humidity out of the house after a rain. For the first time ever at a rental, we did not have to purchase any supplies (aside from food, of course a tenant has to buy their own food!). My favorite features were the solid internet, the wraparound porch with plenty of shaded seating, and the proximity to the Lake. The house is so close to the Lake, even inside due to rain, the Lake can still be enjoyed. Having the patio doors open at night was wonderful with the lapping shoreline providing white noise. For most our 50 years we were on the north side of the Lake on Crystal Drive, and one of the first things we noticed was there is zero car noise here (the traffic noise is ever present on the north side). This house is also walkable to the village of Beulah (shops restaurants and more). Our hosts (a local couple) are lovely people. I cannot say enough nice things about this property and we have reserved for next year.
