Price paid reflected a luxury accommodation . This dump couldn't be further from that. Ancient broken down uncomfortable furniture. Bedding is old, polyester,& not even remotely warm covers. Pillows flat as pancakes. Mold growing in master toilet and skylight in master bedroom. Mattresses cheap & uncomfortable. All the furniture looks like it was garbage picked. High chair was from the 60s or 70s and sticky . Never in my life have I ever encountered mice on a beach until this place! Yard looks like a jungle that hasn't been maintained at all. "Grill" was charcoal & it wasn't supplied. Walls were marked up and looked dirty. Windows absolutely filthy. No Roku, fire stick or other streaming service . Cheap old cd player with 2 cds. 4 books on the book shelf. Magazines on bakers rack were decades old. This place hasn't been updated since it was built. Wobbly cheap faucets. Filthy old shower curtains! Host lives next door & uses the garage in this place to saw & do whatever while you're on site. Doesn't allow cancellation &when I asked to cancel due to health issues and personal tragedy she said she would. Then strung me along for months until announcing her "husband" was the official owner & she couldn't refund me w/o his permission (she's the host on vrbo!) & he said they were under no obligation to refund me at all. Then lied to vrbo about what she said and they believed her. Don't rent from these evil people! They only care about $$$$ for themselves not you!

Our 2 families had a great stay at this property on Crystal Lake. It was our first trip to Michigan and I was impressed by the beauty of the lake itself and the peacefulness of the area. The location of the house is perfect- right on the lake with a very large grassy yard area too. Our kids all loved swimming, fishing, and kayaking in the lake as well as playing in the yard. The house was a great size for 2 families with 2 separate living rooms and a large fully equipped kitchen. The owners live in the house next door and were very friendly and hospitable. They even smoked some fish for us that we caught on a fishing charter!

We had a wonderful week staying with Stephanie and Erik. The house and property are well- appointed, private, and beautiful with easy access to town by car or on the Betsie Valley trail. We felt relaxed and right at home!

This is a wonderful secluded getaway with a beautiful water front and yard!

Our extended family of 10 had an amazing week at this beautiful house. We loved the layout of the property - the waterfront is right across the lawn, so we could easily go back and forth from the house without lugging a lot of stuff. The lake is gorgeous - perfectly clear water and not too cold for swimming. We rented kayaks and stand up paddle boards from Adventure Sports in Beulah and used them every day. One of our favorite things about this location was the bike path right behind the house. It’s a short easy bike ride or walk into Beulah where we enjoyed the shops and restaurants. Or for the more adventurous, the trail goes all the way to the shore of Lake Michigan in Frankfort, which is a fun ride or run. The house was very well equipped; there wasn’t anything we needed that we couldn’t find. We were even pleasantly surprised to find inflatable water tubes and sand toys. We liked that we were dealing directly with the owners when booking, not a property management company. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive to messages. They live next door and came over to say hello when we first arrived. They were in and out of the garage storage area at the house a few times, but mostly we didn’t see them all week. The only negative thing I can say about the house is that the bed pillows were pretty old and flat — you may want to bring your own if you book this place. All in all, highly recommend! We hope we’ll be able to come back someday!

The house was lovely and the view incredible. All the amenities you could hope for were available and there was lots to do in the area

The property is located in a private, quiet area with Crystal Lake right out the backyard. With three couples, we enjoyed the number of beds & baths not normally available in lake homes. The kitchen was very well stocked and we enjoyed cooking several meals while there. Having a second tv available in the second floor sitting room gave the guys a space to watch sports. The bedrooms were spacious and the property was clean and well-maintained. We enjoy the walking trails as we walked into Beulah one day. The fire pit was really nice and we used the indoor wood burning fireplace on those damp, chilly nights. The weather was not super cooperative, but we were able to enjoy our getaway very much. We were close enough to wineries, fishing, lighthouses and shopping but really enjoyed returning to a quiet piece of paradise.

Enjoyed the beach, the grassy area to play and the comfortable great room and cable. The dining chairs were in poor shape and we had to repair them ourselves. 4 bedrooms but only 3 bathrooms. Hard to share one with kids. The firepit was great for s’mores. Overall a good place to stay.
