Relaxing Crystal Lake Cottage Retreat - Minutes to the Beach, & Downtown Beulah

The view cannot be beat at this house! Perfectly positioned to watch the sunset on Crystal Lake. We even got to see a firework show on Valentines Day!This was our second time staying here and first time with kids. We felt at home the whole time with plenty of space to unwind and stretch out, on the sectional, after a day of skiing. Only a 15 minute drive to Crystal mountain and less then 5 minutes to downtown Beulah.We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect location and views of the lake. We had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway

I can't say enough about the hosts, Erica and John. We had a family emergency while staying and they were very accommodating and available if we needed anything. Even though we weren't able to enjoy the property and area as we had intended it was a beautiful place to be able to return to after daily trips to Munson Hospital in TC each day. Thanks again Erica and John

This is our annual Beulah/Frankfort family vacation, with extended family across multiple rental homes. This was a perfect location with easy access to Beulah, Frankfort, Point Betsie, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teens. The deck allowed for a pretty view of Crystal Lake. The sweet hosts left us a welcome basket with s'mores ingredients, which were put to good use at the fire pit. We had a wonderful stay! Thanks!

We had a small gathering of family to celebrate my dad’s life after his recent passing . We loved the lake view and the weather was perfect. The cottage was well equipped & very comfortable!

Overall the property was great for the price. Good location and got the job done. The heat in the property was a bit all over the place. Some rooms were hot, some cold. Could definately use more bathroom towels. The driveway could have used a proper plow. Plenty of spaces but mostly covered by ice that you couldnt drive over.

Wakesurfing and water skiing on Crystal Lake. Four days of perfect weather.

Our stay was generally really great-- the house was beautiful and the location absolutely stellar! There were a few issues that bothered us considering the overall cost of the rental. First, we didn't really receive clear check-in instructions or a manual to the house, so we ended up having to ask the host a few questions. They were moderately responsive, but didn't seem to live locally and I was unsure whether there was an local property manager, as there were things that clearly needed to be replaced and repaired in the home. The trash can outside was completely full and overflowing (with trash bags in the driveway) upon our arrival, so we spent two days requesting a special trash pickup that the host finally took care of. There were several overhead lightbulbs that were burnt out in the downstairs bedrooms, which was problematic because we had older family members staying there who needed the overhead lighting. The host just told us to look for them in the pantry and change them ourselves, but we couldn't find lightbulbs and gave up. The bunk bed in the bunk room was incredibly rickety and unstable. We had a few handy guys in our group who had allen wrenches, so we took it upon ourselves to tighten it up and make it safer, but this is the kind of thing an owner or property manager should be on top of. The kitchen also is completely bare-- no salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. Bring all your own cooking supplies!

Perfect little house for our stay in Michigan. Loved how open the main area was and took advantage of deck over looking the lake every chance we could. We didn’t get a chance to fire up the s’mores but appreciate the little welcome gift (and chocolate bars did not go to waste). Would stay again if a chance arrives.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home had great views of the lake and was an excellent location to ski. Close to Beulah and Frankfort as well. We would recommend the cottage for summer and winter visits.
