We loved this house - so clean with a vintage cottage feel but newly updated and so comfortable. The location is perfect. We walked and rode bikes to shop and eat in downtown Beulah, biked toward Frankfort on the Betsie Valley Trail, took the kids for an afternoon of adventuring at Crystal Mountain, visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. We used the fire pit, took paddle boards and kayaks for a spin, and swam in gorgeous Crustal lake. So fun to wave to fellow bikers and walkers every morning while sitting on the front porch. We loved the energy of the house and the town. Looking forward to a return visit! Thanks Meg for your amazing hospitality!

We had wonderful weather, the house was perfect for our 4 friends getaway. The wind's we're strong so we didn't get too enjoy the lake this time. We'll be back for sure.

We had a great time! Meg was a wonderful host. She was very quick to respond with any of my questions. The house is beautiful and clean, all the information on the property was very clear. Check in and out very easy, we will definitely visit again!

Such a great spot right on the lake with your own beach, paddle boards, kayaks, dock, and everything you could need. Would definitely go again.

We had an amazing Labor Day weekend at this home. Fished off the dock, went into Frankfort, golfed at Arcadia, in short the home is in proximity to everything! The fire pit at night was our favorite part. The home is quaint and they did a great job on kitchen/bathroom Reno’s. We grilled and cooked one night, had everything in the kitchen we needed (and more). Thank you for having us!!

Location was great; right on the lake and bike trail as well as being a short walk into town. Also close to Frankfort which is a bigger town. Great that there are kayaks and chairs as well as a fire pit for use. House was clean and set up was nice.

We loved the location - Beulah is centrally located to so much fun in the northern MI area. Bike trail out front is great for a day roundtrip to Frankfort. Crystal lake is so beautiful. Rafting the Platte is a must. House is comfortable, nicely decorated. Much smaller than we expected. Fine for our family of four, but beyond that would likely feel a bit small. Host was great to work with.

We love going to Crystal Lake for vacations and this property made it even more wonderful. Excellent location, beautiful house, stellar lake front access, and great water activities for the kids. Our stay was memorable and spectacular. Would not hesitate to recommend to others. Such a great time.

We stayed at Meg’s spot on Crystal Lake this summer and it exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable. The location was wonderful, walking distance to Beulah and public beach. We enjoyed access to kayaks, paddle board and canoe. The lake was clear, warm and beautiful. We traveled with young children, the only downfall with children is the street outside of the home, as some cars travel faster than 25mph. Otherwise, Meg was wonderful, easy to reach if needed and welcoming. I would highly recommend this spot if looking in Crystal Lake or a spot w several close access points to Lake Michigan.

Nice home that had been updated. There were stairs (13 steps) up to the second floor where all the bedrooms were located. Buelah has to have the hardest water in the state, but you deal with these issues to enjoy the many other amenities.

The property was as advertised. Meg was accessible by phone when needed which for us was just to get our boat settled In on the first day. We’ve been vacationing in Michigan for many years, primarily at Lake Leelanau. This was our first time at Crystal Lake and it was absolutely beautiful! We loved that Meg’s place was so close to the town and she provided paddle boards and kayaks which kept us all in the water constantly! Very clean, lovely lake home.

Property was listed accurately. It's within walking distance to downtown beulah. Having the bike path right there was great. We loved sitting out by the water; crystal lake is beautiful. The house was renovated well and had all the amenities we needed. I would definitely recommend this rental for anyone looking to enjoy crystal lake!

We were originally going to have four stay here. We ended up with just the two of us, so it was lots of extra space. Families will love it! The view is spectacular at all times of day and night. It's a quiet street, so mostly foot traffic and those on bikes. Easy access to downtown Beulah and Frankfort. Easy drive to Lake Michigan. Wonderful interior, lots of amenities, spacious bathrooms, beutiful kitchen, and outstanding hosts! We would definitely go back!!!

This 1880s house, lovingly restored by Meg, is perfect. First, the location: walking distance to tennis and town (Beulah), on the Betsie Valley bike path (~8 miles to Frankfort), and ideally situated among some of the best hiking in the state. Everything you want is there at the house, too: a huge kitchen for those (like me) who love to hit the local farmers markets (or the Market Basket) and cook; a large yard with two picnic tables, chairs, and a good grill (and lights at night!); a long dock with a bench and water toys (canoe, kayaks, paddle boards). This house is really a home—beautiful furnishings, large comfortable beds, great appliances. And Meg is local and very responsive (even if you ask her dumb questions). We loved our two weeks and would love to spend time there again!

Wonderful house on a beautiful, clean lake! Bedrooms were comfy and our party of 9 had plenty of space. Paddle boards were awesome - our teens paddled out to the beach a few times! And so close to the cute downtown Beulah - we felt like locals :)

Meg's house is beautiful! It was by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. The lake is amazing and we loved her kayaks and paddle boards (she has an assortment of life jackets, too, and even water shoes) (we rented additional kayaks and SUPs from Crystal Lake Adventure Sports right down the street- they delivered and picked up). An easy, quick walk to downtown Beulah (would highly recommend the bagels at L'Chayim). There are tennis courts and pickle ball courts right down the street. The bike/running trail runs right in front of the house- a beautiful trail- would highly recommend biking to Frankfort for lunch or dinner. Make sure you plan some time to stop and swim at gorgeous Railroad Point. The house is in the perfect location for visiting surrounding areas like Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Platte River, Arcadia, and Empire (and an easy/short drive to the Traverse City airport). Meg's house is so lovely- I really appreciated the care and attention to detail that is very apparent everywhere you look, from the tasteful artwork to the fully functional, gorgeous kitchen (what a treat to have a huge gas stove!). I loved the plants (especially the real ones). We enjoyed dinners down at the picnic table by the lake. Meg responded very quickly to any questions we had, and her husband even came to get the trash out of the bin (trash pick up wasn't for a week, but the can was already full from the previous guests). Don't hesitate to stay here- Meg is wonderful, the house is wonderful, the lake and location are perfect- you can't go wrong! The house is perfect in every way; however, please consider the sleeping arrangements very carefully, as it may not work for every family... The house does technically sleep 12, but only in a certain configuration of people in beds. Review the description and think about sleeping arrangements. Two in our party slept on Aerobeds, which was perfectly fine, but just a head's up. We loved this place and we hope to return! Thank you Meg!

This was our first visit to Crystal Lake, but it won’t be our last. This lovely home was recently renovated to become a beautiful, restful retreat. Meg didn’t miss any details in her remodel. We enjoyed swimming, boating, a canoe trip, a visit to the beach, reading on the roomy screened in porch, and relaxing. The teenagers enjoyed the paddle boards provided and also had their spacious bunk room in which to retreat from the parents for a while. 100% recommend, we would stay here again!

Our family has been traveling to Crystal for generations, and each year, we grow! We are always on the hunt for the perfect home to serve as extra space for our rather large family. The house was beautiful and so well done. We had everything we needed and Meg was a super amazing host! The beach had so many fun things to do and the dock was gorgeous. Can’t wait to stay again next year.

Lovely property on a beautiful lake

The owner truly thought out many little details to make this house the perfect home away from home for our family vacation! We all enjoyed the close proximity to the amazing clear waters of Crystal Lake. The kayaks and SUP board were enjoyed daily! I loved waking up to the beautiful sunrise and ending the day around the fire pit right along the lakeshore. We appreciated being able to hope on our bikes to ride the rail trail that is right outside this house. It was also wonderful being able to walk to nice shops and restaurants. This home was beautifully decorated and very clean! Consider yourself lucky if you are able to stay here! We hope to return someday!

Had a wonderful time at your beautiful cottage! Everything we could possibly need was there, super clean and location is great! Outdoor area large and very well set up, had coffee every morning on the dock. Meg was very responsive and accommodating - thanks for sharing your place!

We loved so many things about this house. The renovation is lovely. Everything is nice and new, but the charm of the old house remains. The screened in porch is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee. The lawn has everything you need to enjoy the lake including the picnic table, chairs, a fire pit, kayaks, a SUP, and life jackets. The bike path adds the best touch. To the east, a short walk takes you to the cute town of Beulah, with a nice coffee shop, bagels as good as you would have in a big city, and several cute shops. To the west, you can walk for miles along the lake. Meg was amazingly attentive to our needs, answering our calls immediately and even driving over to the house on a moments notice at one point. For anyone needing to do work or school, the internet worked great; we had no problems at all. We really hope to return!

This house is so cute and perfect for a family. We have 3 younger kids and there was plenty of room and everything was laid out beautifully. Meg was very accomodating and easy to work with. Highly Recommend and we will be back in the summer!!

This was our first visit to Crystal Lake and we loved everything about our visit. The house was just renovated and done well. The house accommodated our family of 6 adults and three children comfortably. The screened in wrap around porch was ideal for morning coffee and sunrises. We enjoyed the lake front location. It was so relaxing to walk down to the crystal clear lake to swim, kayak and paddle board, or to just sit and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed fires and s’mores in the fire pit and dining outside on the picnic table by the lake. The location is ideal! Just a short walk into the darling town of Beulah, a short drive to Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We brought our bikes and rode as well as walked on the bike trail just outside the door.The home owner was prompt to respond to our questions and quickly resolved an issue we had with the oven.We loved every minute of our vacation in this newly renovated property in an ideal location! We would love to return!

My family has been vacationing at Crystal Lake every summer for about 27 years—it certainly has become something we’re excited for all year long. So, when our regular lodging fell through we immediately found this house and reached out to Meg, the owner. She was prompt in her responses and helped us to secure the house only 1 week prior to our scheduled arrival. The house is absolutely gorgeous with PLENTY of room for 6 adults and 4 children (ages ranging from 1-4yrs old) it has so many amenities for everyday needs as well as vacation fun (kayaks, paddle board). Meg was more than accommodating from her quick responses to even an amazing goodie bag left for us filled with snacks, toiletries, local guides, etc. We were certainly able to relax and thoroughly enjoy our family and yearly tradition. We would HIGHLY recommend renting this house for your family’s next vacation!

The house was perfect for our family of 5! It was just renovated, so everything was new...the pictures represented the house accurately. We could have invited another family with us and still had plenty of room! The owner was very responsive and helpful...just a phone call, text or email away. We enjoyed the lakefront access, bike/walking trail, and proximity to Beulah and Frankfort. The kitchen was well appointed and the gas grill and fire-pit on the lakefront lawn were put to good use. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a family party of 11 (ages 5 to 75). We’ve been vacationing in northern Michigan for years and this is the best place we have ever stayed. Great location on Crystal Lake. Easy walk to downtown Beulah. Spacious and functional lakefront lot. Recently renovated interior with everything you will need. Large functional kitchen. The bedrooms were larger than they appear in pictures. Great communication from and access to the property owner. Don’t hesitate to rent this home. We will be back!

This house was absolutely perfect for the week. The outside is a charming farm house but inside has all the modern conveniences you could ask for (fully equipped kitchen, new and clean bathrooms, etc). The screened porch was great for sitting on drinking coffee in the evening, the lake access and bike path were steps from the front door. The walk to downtown Beulah was a quick 7 minutes. The location was great as we explored different bike trails across the region and we could relax in the lake in the afternoon. The place was absolute perfection and we hope to come back.
