The Beach House is a turn-of-the-century, twenty-room home that was used as a boarding house for young college women working in the large luxury hotels of the lumbering era in Northwestern Michigan. The charm remains with quaint living rooms, individual kitchens and bathrooms in each of the four living quarters. There is 1 one-bedroom unit, 2 two-bedroom units, and a four bedroom unit which are rented together during the summer months, making it ideal for a family gathering! We are offeringsmaller spaces for up to 12 people at a discounted rate during the Ironman in September and non-peak months, inquire for pricing and details.

Each place includes a flat screen TV, fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator, and range. There is a large picnic area with gas grills on the side lawn and huge decks on both the first the second floors overlooking the lake. If you have a special request, ask to see if we can accommodate it.

The house is located within feet of the east end of Crystal Lake, between the children's playground and boat launch on Beulah's town beach. The bike trail that connects Thompsonville and Frankfort is just around the corner.

There are also several restaurants and shops in this charming community. If you are ready for more exploring, Frankfort, Elberta Beach, Point Betsie, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, are all within a short drive.

Hope you enjoy your time in Northern Michigan, regardless of where you stay!

    Great location in the lake. Was clean upon our arrival. We had a hot water heater failure during our stay, but the host had it fixed within a few hours. Overall, our family was very satisfied. One of the downstairs units with two bedrooms requires you to walk throgh a bedroom to get to the bathroom. Because of this I would give it a 9 out of 10. Would stay there again for sure.

    We chose the property for its location, and we were not disappointed! Located across a quiet one way street from Beulah Beach with a playground just 50 yards down the beach was perfect location for our 4 year old and 1.5 year old grandkids to enjoy. The street behind the house is Beulah’s Main Street with a brewery, coffee shop, Jewish deli and a couple of restaurants in walking distance. And we enjoyed several evenings overlooking the lake and watching beautiful sunsets. Communication with the owner was responsive and helpful.

    We spent a long weekend at this property with our 3 adult children, their spouses, and our 4 grandkids (age 2 and under).

    Had a great experience in this property. Plenty of space and the communication with the owner was probably the best I’ve ever had using VRBO. Parking is kind of an issue with a big group, but the owner made sure we had approval to parking in a near by parking area. Highly recommend this place.

    My family and I stayed here for an extended weekend for the Michigan Ironman event (4 nights) and rented the entire property. There were 18 of us total, ranging from my parents to my nieces and nephews and we had a blast! Several of us traveled from out of state and the owners, Nancy and Scott, were amazing! They had great communication and accommodated any needs we had! This place was super cute, clean, and in a GREAT location right on the lake! The kids had a blast playing in the lake, on the beach, and on the beach playground. This was a wonderful stay and we have all talked already about coming back in the summer! What an amazing place, thank you!

    We had a large, multigenerational family vacation and the Beulah Beach House was the perfect place for us to be together! The individual units with their privacy and ability to either open up or lock off made it easy to put kids to bed at different times and give some folks privacy while still giving us a sense of togetherness! The kitchens were well-stocked, the house came with two propane grills (crucial for cooking big meals), and the property's location across from Beulah Beach is unbeatable. The renovation on this house is fantastic-- we absolutely loved the big decks, the gazebo, and the many seating options (lots of chairs, picnic tables, etc.). Linens, beds and furniture were very comfy and everything was clean and well-appointed. Scott and Nancy were communicative and kind hosts and even arranged a towel rental for us from the local laundromat! (We traveled from afar and couldn't bring our own towels.) 10/10 would stay again in a heartbeat. Such a fantastic experience!

    This is a beautiful big, 3 story white home with huge porches, 1st & 2nd floor, overlooking Crystal Lake. The entire family enjoyed watching the sunsets each evening from the front porch. My husband & I shared the smaller, older unit 2, located on the first floor which was perfect for us because it provided privacy but also allowed had inside passage to units 1 & 3 or outside passage to all units, including 2nd floor and unit 6 on the top floor. Our 3 sons & families were in the other units. Each of 5 kitchens were well supplied with all we needed. The beds were all comfortable. Living room areas in each of the 5 units were also nice enough. TVs with DVDs in each unit were nice too as well as having Wifi. We also were glad to have access to two out door grills and many tables for meals. Overall, I think this vacation rental was better than others we've rented. The floors were really clean when we arrived. The entire house looked like they definitely have very good cleaners. The only thing I thought I would miss is not having a washer of dryer and not being provided towels or beach towels but that didn't seem to be a problem. It was good that they provided paper towels, dish towels and dish clothes, plus dish soaps. Bathrooms were well supplied with toilet paper and hand soaps. thankful that they did leave one hand towel and floor bath mats in each bath. Overall, I definitely give this home a 5 star rating.

    Multi family holiday vacation. First timers in the area during winter and we enjoyed our time. Only 15 minutes from the ski lodge and shopping is close and convenient. The units were clean and stocked with everything we needed. The host responded quickly to questions and was friendly and professional. We would stay here again.

    This older, historic house feels like a cottage yet with modern amenities and a newly renovated 2nd floor. The units allowed for the 15 of us church friends (6 couples and 3 singles) to have separate sleeping rooms. Each unit can be entered from the outside as well as from the inside. Access to unit 1’s restroom requires passing through a bedroom, but this was doable. I enjoyed using the outside stairs from the 2nd floor deck to Unit 6 on the 3rd floor, as the view of Crystal Lake is so nice. It’s a 10-minute walk to the clean Beulah laundromat and the Cherry Hut, both conveniently near one another. Frankfort and Elberta beaches and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore are an easy car ride away. Our group spent much time chatting under the large front porch gazebo and admiring the lake view. We would like to return next year!

    We had a large multigenerational family group and rented the entire property - all units. There are multiple units - some with inside interconnection options. The first floor units require exit and reentry to get to the second and third floors - but no concerns. It was really ideal to ensure each family had their own space - refrigerator, kitchen as well - while still allowing us to have common meals and game time all together - inside or outside on two decks. The location near town, near the beach, near hiking trails, near a playground was also ideal for adults and grandchildren of a wide range of ages. One family’s bedtimes still allowed others to gather for a drink or games, or walk a short distance into town for a drink. The host did a wonderful job communicating and keeping a “hundred year old” or so home in very good shape. The main second floor kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, knives, pans, etc. Two propane grills allowed us to cook for the collective easily. We couldn’t have been more pleased.
