Our property is adjacent to the Betsie Valley Trail. Biking or walking to Beulah is 1.4 miles and to Frankfort is a pleasant 8 miles. We are close to Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa, Frankfort Lighthouse & Beach, Riverside Canoe and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Come and see this and more, there is so much to enjoy. Crystal Lake will tug at your heart. There is a reason our family has had renters who have come every year for 20+ years; this is summer as it was meant to be.
If you are thinking of joining us for fall colors & fishing, Sept/October/November is an amazing time of year here! It is serene and peaceful with so much to enjoy. Things slow down just a bit and our location is ideal for lake or stream fishing. If you prefer to go out on a charter there are plenty to choose from out of Frankfort, only 8 miles away.
Winter fun is another great time to enjoy our lovely cottage! It is located only a few minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort & Spa where the winter fun never ends. Stay with us, close to the fun at a reasonable rate.
We look forward to greeting you any time of year.
Our family stayed in this charming beach home and the beauty is that it is comfortable and pleasant and at the same time not so stuffy that you have to spend all your time cleaning and making sure no sand gets in the house! The large lawn out back (runs up to the lake) is wonderful for gathering families together for food, play and enjoyment. It's a winner
Our family had a great time staying on crystal lake. The house was in an excellent location. we look forward to going back next year!
A beautiful home, peaceful location, and fantastic views!! Enjoyed grilling out and sitting around fire at night. High quality cookware and bedding also very appreciated!!
For a combined family vacation, our group had an age range of one year to 72 years and this vacation home met all of our needs! The home was spacious and comfortable with all the modern amenities. The home had a large deck outside of the back door. We loved playing games and running through the large backyard then relaxing on the beautiful beach on Crystal Lake. The Betsie Trail was just steps out of the front door. We had concerns about bringing our boat with us. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. She responded to our emails and phone calls very promptly. It was a pleasure working with her and staying at this lovely home! We will come back again!
We enjoyed our stay so very much! Can't wait to return next year!
Beautiful place to have a Crystal Lake get away! All you need to bring is your clothes and food because everything else has been thought out for you...all the way down to wood for the firepit. The Lipsons are kind , attentive, and excellent hosts :) Dan and Bev Brown and family
This would be a wonderful house for a family to enjoy with a large lot for lawn games and a spacious, well equipped kitchen. Three of the bedrooms have king size beds which can be difficult to find. The house also sits on the Betsie Valley Trail which is great for biking, walking, and running. It is close to the town of Beulah and Frankfort for shopping, restaurants, and biking/kayaking/paddle board rentals. The house was equipped with some paper products, hand soap and laundry products that aren't always provided at rentals. Wireless and 2 large TVs were also a bonus for rainy days. There are some things needing improvement. There are no bathroom mats on the floor, no reading lamps in the main living area, and no ceiling fans in the upper bedrooms which made it stuffy up there even on cooler days. No beach chairs are provided, so you have to bring your own or drag the 2 wooden Adirondack chairs down to the lake area. The description lists a dock and fire pit, but it needs to read as a shared dock and fire pit, as it is shared between the 2 neighboring homes. This is fine if your group is renting both homes, but this was not the case for us and the neighbors used both of them consistently. It would be helpful to have a folder of the rules and requirements, as we had to keep going to the website and the confirmation emails for information, and the checkout time was confusing-listed as 9:00 a.m in one place and 11:00 a.m. in another. For us, as 3 adult couples, the experience was a 3 1/2 star rating.
We recently stayed for 2 weeks at the Lipson's Guest House on Crystal Lake. We were very satisfied with the overall experience. The home is located on the south shore and is part of a large parcel of land that offers great views but also nice privacy. The house is well equipped and the fact there is A/C really came in handy as we had some unusually warm days. There were a couple of minor items we requested of Stephanie and she was extremely responsive. I could tell she genuinely cared about the quality of our stay. We have stayed at numerous rental homes on Crystal Lake over the years and this was our favorite. We will be back next year!
Everything was so nice for us. The weather cooperated and the house was great. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms nice and roomy. It was great that there were three full baths too. As for the property, this is one of the nicest properties on Crystal Lake. We will be back!!
I have been coming to Crystal Lake in the summer for all of my 40+ years. I have rented many homes on the Lake during those years. I can hands down say this is one of the nicest areas on all of Crystal Lake. This South Shore property is spectacular. The long and wide beach/grass area is second to none. The area is very quiet and has excellent Lake access and views. The owner was very responsive and made the whole process of booking, renting and staying at the property very easy and unobtrusive. I look forward to renting this home next Fall. I am hoping for the same weather as this year which was perfect.
