Great location and fun amenities

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Crystal Lake Cottage, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. From the incredible location to the well-appointed house, everything about our stay was simply perfect. First and foremost, the location of this cottage is unbeatable. Situated right on the lake, we enjoyed direct and easy access to a private beach. The beach itself was a dream, with its pristine sand and crystal-clear, inviting waters. If was especially idea for families with little kids, as the water was not too deep. We spent countless hours swimming and building sand castles, creating memories that will last a lifetime. And let's not forget about the breathtaking sunsets we witnessed from the perfectly located fire pit. It was the idea spot to gather around with loved ones and bask in the beauty of the day's end. The house itself was spacious and clean. We were impressed by the stocked kitchen, which made it a breeze to prepare and enjoy meals with our family. There was ample seating and plenty of room for everyone to relax. The back porch quickly became our favorite morning coffee spot, offering a tranquil setting to start our day off right. Jay was incredibly responsive and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Additionally, the detailed document provided with nearby activities was a fantastic resource, allowing us to explore and make the most of our time in the area. We highly recommend!

The cottage was wonderful- plenty of room, clean, well stocked, beautifully updated, and close to everything. The lake is gorgeous and the beach area was great for the kids. The host was incredibly responsive and a breeze to work with. Our whole family had a fantastic time!

Great access to Crystal Lake. Close to Frankfort, Benzonia, and Beulah. The house is a bit secluded in the trees, but it is nice for privacy if you want that. The public access next door was busy with swimmers, paddlers, and boaters, but nothing that bothered us. Great rock bass fishing in the evening right around the 10 ft mark.

The lovely cottage was just as described. We had a wonderful week relaxing and recharging. This was our first time visiting Michigan and we have lots of fun memories from our trip. There is so much to do in the area, from the dunes, bike trails, the cute town of Frankfort, and Traverse City not too far.

Overall the house was impressive and perfect for our needs. It was rustic yet updated with all the right touches. There were lots of windows to capture the lakeshore breezes, the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. A favorite spot was the sunroom looking out on the lake. Our kids enjoyed the badminton/volleyball court and we all appreciated the easy access to the water. The water may have been cold, but it was a great swimming lake! The house was located to two nearby quaint towns. We loved our stay and hope to come back!

Very wonderful place. Comforting setting. Nice fireplace and the lake was so beautiful. Awesome fall colors.

Jay is a great host and his house and property are fantastic! Enjoyed our 2nd stay and looking forward to staying again!
