Excellent location for family gathering. House, patio and beach are well appointed. Fun was had by all.

We had a great time. Good family place.

The property owner did a great job in making sure the property was ready, that we understood our responsibilities as renters and that we were able to get any questions asked about the property. The property sits on a hill about 150 ft above the water making for incredible views. Ample outside space to enjoy a nice day with everyone staying at the property. Nice dock with kayaks and paddle boards available to us at the beach. Made for great opportunity for those who wanted some exercise to get it. Not that we cooked, but the kitchen was well appointed and laid out nicely to accommodate cooking if you wished to. Only one minor drawback was to access one of the bedrooms upstairs you had to traverse through another bedroom. Worked fine for us as it was all close family. Might be awkward for others. Definitely would encourage anyone with a family gathering or close knit group of friends to stay at this property. Crystal Lake is a beautiful and less crowded part of Northern Michigan.

We had a wonderful time beautiful home and lots of great memories made.

Our stay was perfect to celebrate our upcoming wedding. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. A short drive to Frankfort , glen arbor, or traverse city!

Janay was easy to get ahold of and very helpful with any questions we had. The view is stunning, can’t wait to go back and enjoy it in the summer!

This property was just what we needed for our group this past weekend. It offered everything that we needed for our home away from home. We would love to experience it in the summer enjoying the beautiful lake and surroundings. Highly recommend!

Lots of space and comfy

We are a large family ranging in age of 1 year to over 70 years old, this house was exactly what we needed and more. The pictures in the listing are beautiful but it is even more beautiful in person. The owners were very helpful, answered all of our questions before our trip and responded quickly when we had a question during our stay. We had one of our best family trips ever, we are looking forward to returning!

Our group of mothers and teen sons loved staying here! Plenty of room to enjoy game night, cooking together, skiing and walking to Beulah. Plenty of space for sleeping and well appointed kitchen. We loved all bri g together in one house.

From top to bottom this was an amazing home. Our extended family got together after 2 years apart and had a blast. The house was big enough for the 16 of us (grandparents to 12 yr old with a broken leg). The kitchen was my sister in laws favorite place. If you have a chef in the family they will be super happy in the kitchen. Beds were comfy. The house was exceptionally clean. Location was great too. My only advise is regulating heat. A bit tricky. Keep the fireplace off at night, earlier the better. Getting to the house is a bit tricky too and it could be icy (steep hills) as well. There's 3 or 4 was to get to the house so look on a map. Thanks for hosting the Mitchell's! Excellent host! We hope to revisit the area again!

The owner was very accommodating and the house was supplied with all the amenities that we needed. Plenty of places to sleep.

House was as advertised, and even better. 6 couples enjoyed our “home” for the weekend. Views were outstanding and amenities were great. Location to wineries and restaurants were ideal. Will book again.

Ours was a sweet/sad reunion of 15 family members, gathered to bury our beloved mother/grandmother/great grandmother. The home was everything we needed: a place to gather and reminisce, a place to separate out when someone needed a good cry or a nap, an inspiring view, and a truly lovely outdoor space in which to enjoy a fire and a s’more. Mine can be a fussy family; absolutely everyone described the house and experience as “perfect.”

We had a great time staying at this house! It was huge, beautiful and well-equipped. We also had fun dipping in the lake and enjoying the view from the the deck. Janay was communicative, accommodative, and quick to answer any question we had. Thank you very much for allowing us to hold our retreat at your house!

We had a wonderful weekend on the lake! The house is beautiful, the view is amazing, with all the amenities we could ever need and more! We had a fabulous, relaxing weekend. Janay made the whole process simple and convenient. This home is perfect for big families and groups. If your in need of a great lake house getaway this is your spot!

We had the most amazing time in this home as part of a yoga retreat. The home was spacious and well cared for. We appreciated the beautiful decor and layout of the home. The great rooms made for perfect group discussions and activities. The pictures of the stairs leading down to to lake may seems intimidating at first but the decking down has many little nooks and benches to take your time if you should need it or it is very easy to walk or drive down the driveway. Crystal Lake is phenomenal and the location of this home was perfect. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. As somebody who books a lot of these trips I THANK YOU tremendously for the care you put into your home and this platform, it is very rare. We can’t wait to come back next year!

We all had a great time, our ages range from 65 to 80, the House worked well for all our handicaps. It was very clear and very well stocked with dishes and etc. we will rent again.

It was definitely nicer than expected. It suited all 13 of us very comfortable. The owners were super nice and always answered when we reached out.

We had a lovely time on Crystal Lake. The house is everything in the pictures and more! We all enjoyed spending time on the beach and enjoying our morning coffee on the deck. It comfortably slept 20 people too, and everyone could easily socialize in the common spaces. The host was helpful and accommodating. We hope to go back one day!

We had a great time. The house is very spacious and the view of the lake is simply beautiful.

The house was clean, well furnished, and they had everything we needed! Wonderful experience!

The house and the view were spectacular. The perfect place for our entire group. Everyone had their own bedroom &/or bathroom also. The gathering areas were open & spacious, the large deck afforded magnificent views of the lake. The beach area was very nice, plenty of seating, great sand & a perfect firepit for an evening fire. The kitchen was a nice size. The beds and all of the furniture were very cozy, especially the built-in wraparound couch by the fireplace, very cool. Would definitely recommend the house for the amenities & especially the host who was very responsive to any questions we had. Great time at a great place!

Janay was super helpful during the whole process and the house was beautiful!

Janay, the property owner, was very responsive and accommodating... as was the home itself. The home was equipped with dishes and bar tools and everything to make you feel right at home. The home was very clean and the welcome manual that Janay provides helps to set very clear expectations, so that everyone is on the same page going in. We had a lovely stay, and would absolutely return to this very property in the future.

We decided as a family to try to get away with our extended family over the winter break. We hadn’t seen each other since 4th of July. We decided to quarantined prior to the trip so we could try and safely gather. What a wonderful time we had! This rental house, is not a rental house, but a warm, welcoming home. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Plenty of beds and room for all ages. We had 50+ to 10 year old and everyone enjoyed it. The owners were helpful, attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be back again!

Myself and 9 other guests had a wonderful time. Though the house sleeps up to 20 - the host does have a limit for toilet paper and trash bags (1 roll per bathroom, and 2 trash bags for the entirety of your stay). I found this policy inconvenient and irrational due to the volume of guests and money paid. However, the host was communicative and very kind.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay . From the minute we booked the communication with Janay was great. As we walked in the front door it was a beautiful view of crystal lake. Rooms were very nice , comfortable beds. Great place to spend time with family .

Renting this house was a great experience- property owners were helpful through the whole process, even answering questions while we were there. We enjoyed the beach while we were there and the trail. The living room was large enough for all of us to gather and the bedrooms were nice size too. Would rent again!

Very nice place to stay.

We were a group of 10 golfers. The house was plenty large to accommodate us, was very clean, with beautiful views of Crystal Lake. The owner was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this property.

Very cute interior design, some spaces a little weird, but fit our big family reunion group with beds to spare.
