I was worried that the home wasn't "lakefront" and that the road in front of the home would be an issue; but I was wrong. The public beach and town is less than a 4 minute walk. The walk is also very pleasant and the road in front of the home is pedestrian and bike friendly. There is a place nearby to rent pontoon boats, kayaks, and bicycles if needed. Apparently, there is also a bike trail from Beulah that will take you to Frankfort. Residents and business owners all seem friendly and welcoming. It is a very small, but quaint town with lots to do for a long weekend. There also seemed to be some sort of pickle ball/tennis court action going on at a park next to the beach - if that's your thing. You also cannot beat the wrap around porch views from this home. Now the "cons" or things you should know - there is only one bathroom and shower, I did not locate a washer or dryer anywhere in the house, but maybe I didn't open enough of the tall cabinets (there is a laundromat in town), doesn't appear to be any heat, definitely no air conditioning (not needed when I stayed here and fans provided), and there were a lot of spiders in the enclosed porch area and upstair bedrooms' windows. If you plan on using the roller beds, just be aware that spiders will be your roomates (got bit on the eyebrow). Also the porch is sloping near the windows and there are drilled holes spread throughout that covered with little rugs so bugs/spiders might always have access to the home.

We have been enjoying this property for a few years now on the 4th of July. The neighbors recognize us and greet us when we arrive. We keep returning for the amazing location, the huge porch, the big yard for playing games, beach, and so much more. The property manager is easy to work with and responsive. I'm sure we'll be back.

The location was great and the home is older but clean. Everything that was needed was there.

Second time visiting this wonderful cottage on the East shore of Crystal Lake. Short walk to town for shopping and food. Half a block to the fishing pier and public beach. What more could one ask for? Great property hosts, available for any questions or needs! A+++ experience!

Best location ever!! So sad to leave. Every one in our group enjoyed the week.

This older cottage is good if you have a big group and dogs. The weather was great so we spent little time indoors. It could certainly use some updating (especially stove and oven) but it still worked out well for our family.

The house is older and could use some updating . The wrap around porch is starting to rot away and the 2 carpets that are in the living and dinning area need to be replaced. The location is amazing and the fenced in yard is so great ! It certainly was a perfect place for us with 3 dogs and 8 people ! Thank you for great family memories

Beautiful property, excellent location! Will definitely be looking to rent this place again!
