Spent a long weekend with family skiing. Great house. Had room for everyone. Kitchen was hit or miss on some things, but we made what we had work. Will be back if we decide to ski at Crystal mountain again!

We had a group of 10 people and this house had beds for everyone. It also was walking distance to the main resort with lots of amenities. Thank you for hosting our group!

Laughing Moose Lodge was just what our family needed. We were able to unwind after an emotional funeral service and then spend a relaxed week enjoying regional Michigan sites with the lodge as our home base each evening. Its proximity to Blackers Airport, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, Traverse City, Petoskey, and Mackinac was helpful and practical. The amenities at Crystal Mountain Resort were also a plus! The lodge met our needs for sleeping space, bathrooms, cooking and dining, as well as space for family games and recreation.

Thanks for the great stay! Everything was as stated in the listing!

Our family (18-20 of us over the years) have spent 5-7 days on vacation together at Laughing Moose Lodge for the past 11 years. We absolutely love this house. The backyard is spacious and open (there were some great bucket golf games played back there this year) and is right on the golf course. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Bathrooms were good (the only complaint from the group was that the water pressure in the basement bathroom shower was too hard, but they dealt with it). We played lots of card games in the screened-in porch. The air conditioning worked great and was welcome after a hot day at the beach in Frankfort. We didn't feel crowded at all even though there were so many of us. Thank you again for a wonderful time! Great memories were made.

The property was so beautiful and the pictures dont do the house justice. We had 10 people stay in the house and it was very comfortable. Would highly recommend and hope I make it back here for another vacation.

Great property! Worked great for our golf group!

This home comfortably accommodates our annual family get together. The indoor and outdoor space, including parking, work so well for us, we’ve stayed here three times. While we have stayed here at Easter time (the off season for golf or skiing), for those who desire a larger family or friends trip for golf or skiing, this would be an option I would recommend. Communication with owner was professional and responsive. Highly recommend.

Had a great time at this property. Very nice location. We drove to the lifts/lodge but is walkable to first lift. Sleeps so many people. Great communication from owners.

We’ve stayed at Laughing Moose Lodge for many years. It’s clean and has lots of room for our extended family.

The Laughing Moose Lodge hosted our large family of 18 for a post-Christmas ski trip. Not many rentals can accommodate such a large group but we were comfortable and enjoyed every minute and hope to visit again!
5.0
We’ve stayed at this property several times and will again. The owners are quick to answer our questions and are very helpful. We love the location to the ski slopes and the house is large enough to accommodate all my family.

We enjoyed the Laughing Moose Lodge with two other families with children for a ski weekend. The house was clean and fully stocked and easily slept all of us. The bunk loft is open and located over the living room, but there is another one in the basement for kids that need to go to sleep earlier.
You could walk to the Buck lift quicker than catching the shuttle, but both were wonderful options to have.

Very nice home and plenty of room for the 8 of us who were in town for a golf weekend.

This is a great property right on the resort. It is just enough off the beaten path but close enough to walk to the resort. We've always enjoyed our time at the Laughing Moose!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very spacious, plenty of beds for sleeping, great location at the resort. We will definitely be looking to stay here again for our golf trip.

Laughing Moose Lodge was perfect for our group of ten adults. It was very clean / well supplied - and has a nice fire pit in the back yard. With the beautiful golf courses and the luxurious spa at the resort, and Lake Michigan and brewpubs/wineries nearby you can’t go wrong staying here!

The property was even better than the pictures. The house was fully stocked, we had everything we could have needed. We absolutely loved having the golf course right behind us- gave us an even bigger feel to an already great sized yard. We would absolutely rent again!

Our family had a fantastic time at Laughing Moose Lodge as we had plenty of room to spread out and to fully enjoy each other. The kitchen was large enough to prepare meals and we enjoyed close proximity to Crystal Mtn and all of its amenities. Communication with the owner was very timely and helpful.

Beautiful home, we felt comfortable as soon as we walked in. It was a perfect location to get my family together . The house is even lovelier in person than in the photos! We plan on returning!!

The house was clean, roomy and had plenty of beds. The fire pit area is nice and you can walk to the village. We loved the screened in porch too.
4.0
Great property with plenty of room, inside and out. The only thing we found were some comforters on the beds did not appear clean and the furniture in the basement is not fit for an adult to sit on. We had a problem with the coffeepots and it was rectified 10 minutes after I reported it! Great service.
5.0
Great time at Crystal Mountain, right on the 10th hole of the besie course! House has everything you would need!

Great stay at The Laughing Moose Lidge!
We had a group of 15 ranging in age from 3-67. There was plenty of room for everyone. The teens enjoyed the basement and the adults were either in the living room or on the screened in porch. We could all sit together for dinner between the large dining table and the table in the screened in porch. You can easily walk into the village to enjoy all the activities and there is a Mointain Market fir groceries
The house had literally everything we needed. All the beds were super comfortable. Everything was clean!!
Don’t hesitate just rent it you won’t be disappointed!!!

Crystal Mountain Lodge
Pretty clean, quiet, plenty of room for 13. Comfortable beds, new/thick bath towels. Plenty of utensils and cookware. Nice location backed up to golf course. Was easy to find plenty of golf balls! Owners were very responsive on all questions.

Family Reunion
The home owners were quick to respond to all of our questions before and after booking. Great location within the Crystal Mountain Resort. This house was perfect for our family reunion. Our large family rented two separate houses at Crystal Mountain. Both were very nice and both featured a great game room downstairs. Overall, the LML had a better location and was just the nicer of the two properties. We found the house clean and tidy when we arrived. Beautiful, private location along the golf course. Between the kitchen seating and the table in the screened porch (which we loved) we had plenty of seating for our large group meals. Lot's to do nearby. We golfed the Crystal Mountain Course, Arcadia Bluffs, purchased daily pool passes for the teens, Kayaked the Platt River at Riverside Canoes in Honor, MI. and had great evening bonfires after dinner. Overall a very nice stay!

Was perfect for a large group and everyone had their own bed which was nice and not always the case.
Location is perfect right off the Betsie 10th hole.

The property was clean and very enjoyable. The lower level television did not work and the futon was broken. However that did not alter our enjoyment of the property.

This property was perfect for our family ski trip. Had plenty of bedrooms and beds and a fully equipped kitchen for big family meals. Easily accommodated our group of 14. Could walk to the slopes or use the shuttle but driving was just as easy. Wish we could have stayed longer to try the cross country skiing and fat tire biking. The skiing was great and not super crowded. Really enjoyed our stay. Hope to make it back again.
