We were sailing in a regatta hosted by the Crystal Lake Yacht Club. The skipper, crew and myself enjoyed the comfort, quiet, and amenities offered
Having a new modern kitchen made our stay, while short, special as we generally cook our own meals.

Wonderful week at the Clough cottage. The water is as advertised!. The kitchen was fully stocked. We loved taking the kayaks and paddle boards out. I would say the only issue we had was some no working batteries on remotes but we didn't watch much tv so was hardly an inconvenience. Thanks for the great week!

My family and I spent a week here for our summer vacation. The area is incredible with so many things to do to experience Michigan. We had a great time. The cottage and property were great. It was awesome having the hot tub and the extra outdoor bathroom and shower. The lake is spectacular and we all used the kayaks and paddle boards. The owners were great to work with. We would rent this property again.

We had a great time; lake was so clear and beautiful. The small-town feel was just what we were looking for. Close enough for some adventures in Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. The owner was available for any questions we had and left a nice little welcome gift. The bathhouse worked out great for an extra shower room. We would love to stay again in summer when water is warm enough to go in. 7 of us fit comfortably in this house.

We just completed a bachelor party weekend at this property, and had an absolute blast. The owners were super communicative and left us a nice welcome package when we arrived. We made fires, enjoyed the hot tub, played ladder golf, and swam in the lake. The location is 20/30 minutes from the big hits - the dunes, glen arbor, and empire, so excursions are super easy. Will definitely be looking to return in the future!

We had a truly lovely family visit at the Clough Cottage on Crystal Lake. The kayaks, SUPs, hot tub, and basketball court provided constant fun for our family and the nieces/nephews visiting from adjacent Frankfort. The extra lawn space was also great fun for outdoor activities. You can also find shade to relax during every point in the day, and the hammock was always occupied.
Crystal Lake is beautiful and very shallow until way out. Jamie was just lovely to work with, super accommodating, and the welcome basket a wonderful touch of kindness.

Great location and a beautiful place. Could have been cleaner. A lot of spiders and webs. Overall a great place to enjoy the lake.

We had a wonderful time! In my opinion, pictures don’t capture how great of a cabin and location it is. The cabin was very clean and very good communication with the owners. Would love to come back!

Second time staying here and it's perfect for us. The location is top notch both on the lake and in the area. The hosts are great and well... it's a repeat trip for us which pretty much sums it up!

Property is comfy and location is prime!
Although hard to convince yourself to leave comfortable lakeside living, the location is central to charming villages and day hikes/ walks that include breathtaking views and intriguing history. We loved the quiet, the expansive dock, the entertainment provided by talented water skiers and sharing parts of the day with flying and furry friends of all shapes and sizes on the feeder.

First time doing a rental.
Our stay at the Clough cottage was a great first timer. The children had a fantastic time kayaking, paddle boarding and doing what teenagers do. The adults relaxed and enjoyed being by beautiful Crystal lake💕

CLEAN and Beautiful!
This property was very clean and offered so much to do right there. The lake was beautiful, the hot tub was a perfect addition and the campfires at night were enjoyed by all. The house was super clean and it was perfect for our family of 4 and additional two couples. We cooked meals in and ate out and the house had all we needed for our dine in meals. Great hosts if you are visiting this area - highly recommended.

Great summer memories made in Crystal Lake
We couldn’t have asked for better hosts or a better place to stay. It was the perfect getaway for our family. We love northern Michigan and Crystal Lake and the Clough cabin fit the bill!

Great cottage on crystal clear Crystal Lake
My family and I really enjoyed this cottage. The interior of the cottage felt like a cottage rather than a home, which most of our group really appreciated. The outdoor living space was great. The platform at the end of the dock provided a wide open view of the lake, while the deck and shore provided a more sheltered view with great shade.
We were slow to take advantage of the boat house space. If you rent, I encourage you to take advantage of the space, especially the second refrigerator.
Things to be aware of: Crystal Lake is quite large, and can get a little rough when the winds are high. The ceiling on the second floor is sloping, which was a challenge for my 6' 3" husband.
The owners were great and very easy to work with. We would definitely consider renting this cottage again.
