Upon check-in, we noticed the house was unkept & extremely dirty. The home carried a strong musty/mildew odor & felt damp. We immediately noticed mouse droppings on the floor, cabinets, as well as the drawers that contained silverware and utensils. The windows & slider doors were filthy & were littered with spiderwebs, dirt, & dead bugs. Both of the slider doors facing the lake would not lock, which created a safety concern. Both the upper & lower decks were covered in spiderwebs and hadn't been cleaned for some time. This made enjoying a beautiful view a bit challenging especially when dodging deck spiders. Two of the beds contained dirty linens, hair, and were not fresh. Later in the week we noticed multiple cockroaches in the lower bedroom and dresser. The overall condition of the home and property was well short of our expectations. We immediately reached out to Peter and expressed our concerns. Rather than disrupting our stay, we agreed to address our concerns prior to check-out. On two occasions, Peter entered the house without our consent which was very concerning and a clear violation of VRBO's policy. Upon check out we reached out to Peter to mitigate the issues & come to a compromise. He quickly became agitated and either deflected or would not acknowledge the issues we identified & documented during our stay. Peter's attitude towards our complaints lacked empathy & he became combative. As long time VRBO renters we have never experienced such a disappointing stay.

My family of 8 had a wonderful week together at this property on Crystal Lake. Although we initially had some issues upon our arrival and first day, our host Peter responded quickly to resolve them and we were able to move on and enjoy our week on the lake and in the surrounding area. Much time was spent on the deck overlooking the lake relaxing. We enjoyed the stand up paddleboards and kayaks that were provided. We were able to prepare all our meals right there at the house utilizing the grill and full kitchen. We kept the windows and doors open to enjoy the fresh air flowing through and the beautiful sounds of the lake.

Some people have lake homes and some people have house boats. This is a home boat wherein we were rocked to sleep at night by the sounds of the waves (without the rocking boat or sea sickness) but nestled snug inside a loving home. While I love a 5 star hotel and AC when we are Chicago, we all loved life with all the windows and doors open and the feeling of truly being in nature and sweeping the sand our boys dragged in right back out the door. Our boats, Peter and his family, deserve a 6 star rating for the hosts with the Mosts.

We have tried many cottage stays around Crystal Lake, and this was probably the nicest. Nice new updates like sliding doors and toilets, and looks like more updates in the works. The cottage is long along the lake so lots of views of the water, plus a nice deck, with shade when needed too. Nice dock with nice steps into the water. Pete, the owner was very responsive by text if needed. Situated about halfway between Frankfort and Buelah, on M22

We had a few issues initially but Pete responded quickly and fixed everything.the location was perfect close to the beach and sleeping bear dunes. The house was perfect for what we needed and the kayaks/paddle boards were a fun bonus.

Extremely relaxing stay right on Crystal Lake with easy access to nearby towns and scenic areas and kayaks and SUPs available for daily time on the water. Great host - responsive, personable, communication a breeze. The house has plenty of space, with three bedrooms downstairs and a master suite "loft"-style upstairs. Super-fast WIFI with Roku-style TVs available.
