    My family stays at a house every year at Crystal mountain for the beer and brat festival. We keep trying to find “the one” that we can rent year after year. We finally found it. It was a great experience. The host was so responsive and very sweet. The house itself was everything we needed. Beautiful property. We hope to be able to stay again next year.

    We’ve stayed at the Laughing Moose Lodge several times over the past years. It accommodates our annual family Easter gathering beautifully with the indoor living and sleeping space … as well as the outdoor space for parking and an egg hunt. Always easy to coordinate and communicate with the property owner/host. We enjoy Crystal Mountain Resort as well for the pool and driving range.

    We enjoyed our stay at Laughing Moose Lodge! Plenty of beds and space for our extended family staying for a long ski weekend. We love the convenience of the shuttle to take us to the ski hill and we could walk down to the resort market and restaurants. Overall great stay and we will come again!

    The property is very well laid out for a large group! We had a group of 8 and the property could easily hold double that with room to spare. Very well stocked with all the essentials, super clean and very close to skiing at crystal. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

    Great space for 3 families for a post Christmas ski trip. Everyone slept well, several meals were cooked in the home, and the number of beds provided options for sleeping arrangements. The entrance has lots of room for boots and being on the golf course is ideal for sledding. We’d walk to Buck with a car dropping off our gear. Only thing to note as an FYI is a sulfur smell and slow coffee makers, otherwise everything went smoothly. Would definitely stay again.

    Loved the house, had everything we needed and then some! Owners very generous with household necessities! Our group of 5 couples this year really enjoyed the bonfire pit and being right on the Betsie Valley golf course! The weather was so amazing that we hardly used the pool table or played as many games and cards as we usually do! Tons of amazing memories were made this weekend with great friends! Thanks again Melissa and Jeff you guys and The Laughing Moose Lodge were a big hit with all of us!! 😊⛳️☀️
