Cute retro lake house needs a little TLC but over all had a great relaxing time at the property and the lake was amazing.

8 friends stayed for a long weekend and had the best time! The lake is GORGEOUS (water's warm!) and the house provides private access to it through a dock. The owner also provided several floaties, and we brought our own as well. The house was perfect in terms of sleeping arrangements and has a nice living room with a huge window and porch to look out at the water. The kitchen is old and the oven was broken, but we were alerted in advance and were compensated with complementary linens. The stove also wasn't working the first day (which the host did not know), but she worked with us IMMEDIATELY to get it fixed! She sent someone over to check the breaker and that solved the issue. The grill worked perfectly the whole time. Amazing communication! The only other issue we had was with the Chromecast and DVD player. The Chromecast works, but is very old so it constantly glitches (not the owner's fault) and would require at least 30 min to set up every time. The DVD player was missing cords, and even when we found some to hook it up, it didn't function. I'd recommend bringing an HDMI cord and laptop if you want to use the TV. Overall, we had an amazing weekend and would highly recommend this home!

We were in the area to visit family nearby. This house was exactly what we needed as our home base and its “authentic retro” design was so cute. It was extremely easy to communicate with the home owner and the house was very clean. Crystal Lake is beautiful.

The house was clean and cozy. It was an ideal location…a step back in time (plus WiFi!). The lake was beautiful and we really enjoyed taking our kayaks and paddle boards out each day! Manning’s ice cream was a special treat. The view from the front porch was spectacular! We will definitely be back!

From the moment we arrived we felt like we stepped back in time. This beautiful home is clean, quiet and feels like the slower days of our childhood. Kate was a great host and we loved the peaceful setting. This is the perfect place to relax and rewind!

Very communicative, kind and accommodating

Nice cozy lakefront property on beautiful Crystal Lake. Kate was an awesome host! Thank you!

Very clean, fully stocked, beautiful view of the lake. Kate was the perfect host providing every detail a visitor could want. Would highly recommend if vintage is your thing.
