The house was lovely and the view incredible. All the amenities you could hope for were available and there was lots to do in the area

The property is located in a private, quiet area with Crystal Lake right out the backyard. With three couples, we enjoyed the number of beds & baths not normally available in lake homes.
The kitchen was very well stocked and we enjoyed cooking several meals while there. Having a second tv available in the second floor sitting room gave the guys a space to watch sports. The bedrooms were spacious and the property was clean and well-maintained. We enjoy the walking trails as we walked into Beulah one day. The fire pit was really nice and we used the indoor wood burning fireplace on those damp, chilly nights. The weather was not super cooperative, but we were able to enjoy our getaway very much. We were close enough to wineries, fishing, lighthouses and shopping but really enjoyed returning to a quiet piece of paradise.

Enjoyed the beach, the grassy area to play and the comfortable great room and cable.
The dining chairs were in poor shape and we had to repair them ourselves. 4 bedrooms but only 3 bathrooms. Hard to share one with kids.
The firepit was great for s’mores. Overall a good place to stay.

It is a beautifully decorated lake house. We enjoyed our stay. A few things need replacing: both living couches are very uncomfortable to sit on and get up from. The large bedroom upstairs needs a new mattress. The side close to the door drops down when 2 people lay on the bed. Otherwise we had a great time here.
5.0
We all had a wonderful time. The house was very comfortable. The house provided space and areas to offer privacy for those needing it. Weather was glorious. We walked to town several times, but when we come again I would definitely bring bikes. The hosts, Stephanie and Eric, were so gracious. Thank you again. Hope to be back soon.

This was our first time to Crystal Lake and there was so much to explore. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. The lake in the backyard and the bike trail in the front yard were the highlights. We brought bikes and rode on the bike trail everyday. Tennis courts, playground, coffee shop, restaurants and shops are a short bike ride away. Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and Traverse City were great day trips. Arcadia Bluffs is a golfers paradise and a great place for dinner where you can enjoy views of Lake Michigan. The house was well stocked with everything you need. We had a great time!

5 stars!!! We have been visiting Northern Michigan properties for 30 years. This is by far the cleanest property we’ve ever stayed in and the most well equipped kitchen. Property was beautiful. Views from living room and kitchen were perfect. Enjoyed the fireplace too.

We had an enjoyable return visit to this cottage on Crystal Lake. It’s good size and located about 20 minutes away from Crystal Mountain, and just a few minutes away from local shops and restaurants. Property owner was very accommodating as well.

What a pleasant find on Crystal Lake! Wonderful secluded property on the water w/ a wide, sandy beach. Large grassy backyard w/ pretty white birch trees between house and lake. Interior of the home is very open and spacious w/ nice separation of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Well stocked kitchen w/ all sorts of appliances! Two family gathering areas- one downstairs and one upstairs. Nice primary bedroom retreat w/ lakeside covered porch. Fireplace and outside fire pit. Home sits right on the Betsie Valley Trail- great for walking into Beulah or biking to Frankfort. Extremely gracious hosts Stephanie and Erik. Not sure you can find a genuinely nicer home to rent on all of Crystal Lake!

We had a great stay in mid-October. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 to spread out. Even though the weather was cold and rainy, we enjoyed cozying up by the fireplace and taking in the fall scenery and the local towns.

Beautiful house. Responsive welcoming owners. Lovely beach and dock, Gorgeous sunrises. A nice walking/biking trail adjacent to the property. Easy driving distance to Frankfort, Arcadia Dunes, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and the wineries of the Leelenau Peninsula.

Property was very clean, and very well stocked. Kitchen had all the required appliances and more even though we did spend most nights out in the local town.
The rooms were very spacious and can definitely provide a vacation for multiple families.
All in all we had a fantastic vacation, the private beach was where I found my girls pretty much all the time, the trails are great for walking/biking and easy access to the 2 towns.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wants to get away from every day life and chores. My girls are already planning their next visit on the way home from this one.
You will be very pleased when you book this rental.

This home is a perfect location with plenty of room and all you need for a lake house. However the home needs LOTS of TLC. The refrigerator is dated and has no door shelves left. There are no baking dishes and many of the frying pans need to be replaced. The toaster didn’t work and there were ants all over the kitchen. The upstairs guest shower has little to no pressure and the mixing valve doesn’t work to provide any hot water. The A/C failed but the owners were aggressive about getting it repaired immediately which was nice. This could be a nice home but for $5600/week it should’ve been much better and it needs lots of work.

We had our family vacation here. The house was clean, well equipped and quiet. The waterfront area is great for swimming,, very shallow then gradually deepens. The water bottom is rocky so I would recommend water shoes. Bike/walking trail runs just behind the house for easy access. Easy bike ride into downtown Beulah. Host was very nice and told us the interesting history behind the property. Already booked for next year!

Great Place for family gathering.
Beautiful property, well-maintained, super clean. Backs to Crystal Lake near charming town of Beulah. Little cold for swimming this time of year but crystal clear lake perfect for boating and wading. Best equipped kitchen I’ve ever encountered in a rental. It had everything.. Lots of small local restaurants in Beulah and neighboring towns. Don’t miss the Sleeping Bear dunes or the Lake Michigan beaches if you are a hiker.

The property has pretty much stayed the same as it was 25 years ago when we first discovered it and that is a plus because it is a gem! The only negative is the price has nearly tripled for a week's rental and it is impossible to get back in the que once you miss a year. But, if you're lucky enough to reserve a date, it is well worth it!

You will not find a more perfect location on Crystal Lake. The big lawn, the beach, the bike path and the quiet road make for the best spot on the lake. A special place.

The owner was very responsive and helpful making sure we had a good stay. The home sits directly on the magnificent Crystal Lake for easy access to water activities and is also in close proximity to many other attractions in the area. Wonderful vacation!

The house was very clean and a great space.Being on the bike trail is a big plus.When booking be aware that there is an extra charge for parking in the driveway ! I have never seen this before and when I asked the owner there was no explanation or reply.

We could not have asked for more perfect place for our week of relaxation. I stayed here with my two kids, my husband, and my in-laws (5 adults total). Stephanie was very quick to respond to all questions and was very nice and accomodating. We broke something during our stay :-( and she was very understandable and efficient. As for the place itself, it was clean, homey, and comfortable. There were ample pillows and blankets in each room. The towels provided were large and plush. Aside from the beds, there are sitting areas in each room as well (aside from the ground floor room). The common areas are large and very open. The kitchen was well stocked with any pots, pans, plates, utensils, cups, mugs, etc. that you'd ever need. There were plenty of windows which allowed for lots of natural lighting. The patio and balcony were well maintained and provided a great place to look out over Crystal Lake. As for the grounds, the grass was super soft and comfy. We had a lot of picnics on the large lawn, and the kids had a lot of fun running around. The private beach lake front area was clean and inviting. It was a bit rocky, but we expected that and brought water shoes. We were in the water every day, with no issues. There is a trail just outside the property that goes into town (Buelah) and all the way to Frankfort. Overall, a perfect stay at a perfect place!

Excellent location on south shore of Crystal Lake
This is the 2nd time we have rented this house on Crystal Lake. We have four grandchildren ages 14 mo - 6 yr, and 6 adults. The house fits us all comfortably! Some of the best features are the sweeping lawn to the lake (great if you have children), the location - Bestie Trail is right behind the house for biking and walks - you can walk or bike to Beulah too! The minor inconvenience is if you rent a boat it is moored in the water near the dock next door. You must wade out each day to get your boat and pull it to the dock for everyone to board. Water shoes are a must due to the rocky lake shore. There are great sandbars to boat to and swim! Overall, it is one of the best rentals on Crystal Lake due to its grounds and location. If you have any handicaps be sure to reach out to the owner to discuss! She is very responsive to any issues!
