Excellent location, we had a great vacation! We are a family with 3 kids, we had so much fun, the house worked out well! We liked the multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. The washer and dryer were very useful. There were games and legos, that was a hit! We were able to cook and enjoy dining-in using the kitchen. Sitting on the covered deck and looking out at the lake was so awesome. The view from the bedroom was also!
We really enjoyed our stay, there were just a few things that would have been nice to have: a larger bed in the main bedroom, several light camping chairs to take to the beach, a shelf to store groceries in the kitchen, and wi-fi. Trying not to work on vacation, but it is not always possible and wi-fi is very useful.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The home needs extensive repair and major cleaning both inside and out. Beulah is a lovely little village

Returned to Sunset View mainly because our dog’s were allowed and the yard (across from Crystal Lake) is fenced. Owners have dogs and neighbors have been kind and tolerant of our dogs. 6 days into stay, 2 voicemails were left 5 minutes apart by 2 different Vacasa reps; both citing “multiple neighbor complaints” about “excessive dog barking” “lunging” and “owners contacted” as well as “eviction” if not brought under control. When I called local management asking why we weren’t contacted sooner and how this escalated I was told a single neighbor emailed owners last night threatening to go to village council if our dogs didn’t stop barking and the owners asked we be called the next morning because it was late. The 2 voicemails were from a call center whose reps messages were read from notes on computer screens making it sound like there was not 1 complaint day before by 1 person but multiple complaints by multiple neighbors and threatening eviction. The local Vacasa rep was no better in communication texting me she’d call me shortly after my initial voicemail, which she didn’t, myself finding the truth about the 1 complaint by calling her later that afternoon. She also did not respond to my voicemail and texts about leaving a day early, which we did, having felt threatened, unwelcome and received zero customer assurances from Vacasa. It’s completely understandable to get a complaint about excessive dog barking and be able to do a better job curbing it. It should have been as simple as relaying a complaint and assuring the neighbor and owners we received their message, apologized and going forward assured them we’d do better keeping an eye on the dogs and barking. Instead we were threatened with eviction and ignored and left early feeling unwelcome. Further frustrating was my repeated attempts communicating to local Vacasa rep we were leaving a day early (no responses) only to get pushed notifications about checking out the next day. I feel for the owners having to deal with an irate neighbor threatening them and an impersonal management agency.

The view from the front porch is just beautiful! I also enjoyed the short walk to the quaint downtown.

The location, trail, local shops and lake are fabulous. Crystal Lake is clear and enjoyable. The house was as described, and exceeded expectations. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and more than functional. Most important, this was the cleanest rental that we have ever stayed in. Spotless. An old cottage is delightful if it is clean.

The location was great! The home provided everything we needed. One recommendation: the two sets of bunkbeds could use an upgrade on the mattresses-especially the lower one in the farthest room, otherwise it was wonderful. (also it's good to remember there is no internet)

This house was perfect for me. My dog and I spent one week there alone, and then two with family members who came and went. It’s truly a wonderful location if you are looking for a base to explore dunes and hiking trails, all those sweet summer towns, Sleeping Bear, etc. We swam or paddle boarded every day in the shallow, clear (and relatively warm) Crystal Lake, to which we had our own private access with fire pit. My dog loved the fenced in yard, partly because the next door neighbors threw a ball for her in there. Downtown Beulah is within spitting distance and it has a wonderful brewery, bakery, library, etc. The house was quiet. I used the 20 mile bicycle path outside the house to do some long runs. I felt safe. The only reason I can’t give it the full 5 stars across the board is because it hasn’t been renovated in a very long time, which gave it a fun lake house vibe, but also made the price feel too steep. The lack of air conditioning was also a problem on the 90 degree days I was there. Plus the adult bed was really tiny and the pillows were terrible. But I would still highly recommend this house. I had the best time there!

This property was exactly what we were looking for. It is a short walk into Beulah to access restaurants, beach, and playground. The waterfront and dock were perfect for our 3 year old to swim and to dock our boat. The front porch was perfect for sitting and enjoying a view of the lake.

Great place to stay
We had a wonderful stay at this house. It has a beautiful view of the lake, its a couple of blocks from downtown Beulah, its close to a ton of walking trails, Frankfort, platte river, Empire and other great cities. The legacy sculpture art park is on the grounds of chrystal mountain ski resort and it is awesome. The house was well equipped and comfortable. We took our dog and the front yard is fenced. An added bonus. It was clean. I love the cobalt blue color of the house. We would go again.

Amazing views and so close to town! Plenty of amenities (kayak, beach toys, dock....) all made it super easy for us to jump right in and make this our home for the week! This place is situated right on the walking trail that is perfect for your early morning walks! The only thing missing are a couple of bikes which you can bring with you or rent in town! Overall a great place to set up camp for exploring this beautiful part of our state!

What a front porch!
We felt welcomed and taken care of as soon as we arrived. The house was clean and organized. Perhaps not spacious but properly proportioned. Walking distance to so much, including the incredible blue Crystal Lake.
