Beautiful property on quiet road with an incredible view of lake. Very close to Crystal Mountain. Our family enjoyed this home. Great location!
We were so pleased to see that they view was even better than the photos. We would love to cone back.
Lovely, well maintained; idyllic location
We needed a quick getaway after Christmas and decided to go skiing at Crystal Mountain with another family. This house on Upper Herring Lake was perfect for two families. Kids stayed in bedrooms with bunkbeds and adults split the other 2 rooms. As mentioned by everyone else, the views looked amazing. It was winter for us, but you could tell the location on the lake was ideal. The primary suite upstairs had a sitting area and the best view of the lake. The gaming equipment was old and outdated, but this didn't bother the adults. We spent most of the day skiing and were able to have meals together in the big kitchen/dining area. The house was comfortable and the layout suited us well. Thanks for a last mintute getaway that we will remember always.
We stayed for a mid week winter break to do some skiing at nearby Crystal Mountain. The house is perfectly located just 18 minutes from the ski resort and ten minutes from stores and restaurants. Lovely hone in excellent condition and super clean. Beautiful views across the lake Quiet neighborhood that feels very cared for and safe. The house has everything you need and the movie selection was an added bonus. Highly recommend the movie Secondhand Lions!! It was a very relaxing stay and being able to bring our dogs along made it especially nice.
We would love to return. Great experience. Only con would be there is not a gas fireplace in the great room as advertised. Thank you for opening your home.
The view is unchallenged. Lots of room to put your things. We really felt welcome and would stay there again. The home is beautiful.
Great views and location! 6 adults were very comfortable at this property. I imagine it’s really wonderful in the Summer. We chose this cabin due to its proximity to Crystal Mountain and Caberfae for snow skiing!
We had a wonderful time at the beach house! We went a couple days after Christmas and it was still decorated. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful, even though it was icy and snowy. And the location was close to downtown Frankfort and an easy drive to Sleeping Bear. We definitely recommend staying here and would come back again.
Location was perfect for our stay in Michigan. Great access to a lot nearby attractions. The view from the living room was wonderful to wake up to as well for watching sunsets on the lake. We’d definitely stay here again when we come back to visit.
