This property was perfect for our group of 10. The house was very roomy and clean. The location is great close to public beaches and town, also just a short walk to the lake. We got a lot of use out of the kayaks that were provided. Would highly recommend this property.

This place was awesome. I'll start with the hosts. They communicated everything up front making sure we could easily get into the house. Once we got there we were amazed with all the space and how spread out we felt. The kids could play in their section of the house while the adults hung out in the spacious and fun kitchen area or living room. We had a huge living room with multiple couches for family movie nights. The spacious backyard was great for the kids to have snow ball fights and make snowmen. We also had more than enough space for beds with very comfortable sleeping accommodations. We plan on returning for a summer trip and definitely plan on going back for future ski trips. Highly recommended.

Close, with access to crystal lake, which is stunning. We swam, boated, kayaked, beer gardened, fire pitted an played games. House was nice, owner accessible, friendly and super helpful, he even bought a playpen and high chair for our smallest guest. I would recommend!

This was our first time vacationing at any lake- Crystal Lake is immaculate! I am not a lake person, but I wanted to visit a friend who lives there. I can’t say enough- how much I loved this lake town and all of its offerings! The lake is ridiculously clean, not crowded, and Crystal clear in many spots! The house is a VERY SHORT walk to the lake (maybe 100 feet away). The house is MUCH LARGER than one would expect from the photos- much more room than we needed for our family of 5. I believe there were 10 beds- unless I missed a pull out sofa! The kitchen was lovely and fully stocked with every tool, appliance, and cleaning product needed! The TV family room had a huge cozy sectional couch with a large TV that had every type of streaming service available! There were numerous TVs throughout the house. Laundry room was ready to go with pods, dryer sheets, etc. There were a lot of beach towels, propane BBQ and hibachi grill outside, toys & games everywhere to use, and 4 cool kayaks with life vests! The host was extremely helpful, super nice, easy to contact, and stocked this house with everything one could need for a comfortable-relaxing vacation. The only thing I was not prepared for (lack of lake knowledge is to blame) was the septic system water. It has a “unique” smell- which is normal- but it is not harmful or dirty. Plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, and shops nearby. I was even able to Instacart (delivery service) groceries to the house— which is a huge plus for me! We plan to go back to make more MICHIGAN MEMORIES! Many thanks to the host, John, for helping us have a wonderful family vacation!

Good communication. Easy to get in to. Mostly neat and clean. Didn't use all of the amenities (electronics). The WiFi was reliable. Kitchen had all we needed to prepare meals. Short walk down the shared road to the public access. Not busy .... while we were there.

The house was perfect for us. We had nine family members the youngest of which was four years old and the oldest of was 75. The fact that we had four bathrooms was a real plus for our big group of nine! It wasn't a perfect location. We were close enough to the lake that we could go swimming very easily but the 4-year-old couldn't wander out of the house and out to the lake without us with her. In other words the lake was just far enough to be safe with a 4-year-old. It was a quiet road down to the beach we didn't have to worry about getting hit by cars or noise. The kitchen was very well equipped as was the house. It was basically just perfect! I highly recommend this house to other families!

We had a great time! The house was awesome and had more than enough space for the nine of us. My babes were super impressed with the consideration of our host to provide little comforts like tissue, a coffee maker in the loft, basic toiletries for those that forgot, and other little baskets of amenities that were thoughtful and kind. we have already started looking for openings on the calendar so that we can return for more fun and relaxation.
