I wrote a review last year so won't be so lengthy this year (and next year is booked already!). The owners are wonderful people and this property doesn't lack for any conveniences. The owners have done a wonderful job with the compact space, and hanging out on the covered porch all week is wonderful, only a few feet from the Lake. Great fun to walk into Beulah with it's wonderful shops and eating & drinking spots. Much to do in the surrounding area. Highly recommend this property, it's a gem.

Loved the cottage! We have a great week at Dan and Janice's property. As others have said, its well stocked. It has everything you can think of and more. My husband loved the shed and wished it was his own. The location is incredible...right on the water and so walkable to town. There is so much to do on Crystal Lake and in the area. We SUPed, hiked Arcadia Bluffs, spent time in Frankfort and at the Beach, went to Gwen Frostic prints, played pickleball, biked the Betsie trail; but also just chilled out at the cottage. It was wonderful.

Clean, great neighbors, great town!!!

This was our 3rd year staying at this cottage. It is the cleanest place I’ve stayed at. The location is great. Very comfortable. Dan is a great host; checked to make sure all was going well. I recommend this place

We have been visiting Crystal Lake for about 50 years and this is a fantastic property. We have stayed in many rentals around the world, and this is probably the best equipped property we have ever stayed in. Nothing is missing, and the property is top notch in every way, beautifully renovated a few years ago. Everything works, great water pressure, laundry equipment, air conditioning run for 30 minutes to take the humidity out of the house after a rain. For the first time ever at a rental, we did not have to purchase any supplies (aside from food, of course a tenant has to buy their own food!). My favorite features were the solid internet, the wraparound porch with plenty of shaded seating, and the proximity to the Lake. The house is so close to the Lake, even inside due to rain, the Lake can still be enjoyed. Having the patio doors open at night was wonderful with the lapping shoreline providing white noise. For most our 50 years we were on the north side of the Lake on Crystal Drive, and one of the first things we noticed was there is zero car noise here (the traffic noise is ever present on the north side). This house is also walkable to the village of Beulah (shops restaurants and more). Our hosts (a local couple) are lovely people. I cannot say enough nice things about this property and we have reserved for next year.

Property was exactly as depicted. It was in a great location in Beulah, directly on Crystal lake. Property was super clean, had everything we could possibly need and had a great porch on the lake to have a morning cup of coffee/tea and sit with a cider in the evenings. We have 2 boys - 11 and 12 y/o and the location of the house was central to lots of fun things in the area as well as perfectly situated on the lake. What more could you want? Would definitely rent here again. Thanks for a great vacay!

Close to downtown Beulah, Beulah Beach (best sunsets), the Betsie River Trail, and pickleball courts. Adorable well-kept cottage with a great view of the lake. We enjoy sleeping to the sound of waves close to the bedroom window!

This little cottage on beautiful Crystal Lake is a real gem. It is well stocked with everything you need, all neatly stored. We spent hours on the deck gazing at the water. Having the Betsy Trail right there was great incentive to get active every day. Hosts were helpful, responsive and friendly. Five stars!
