The 2nd floor deck on this house is glorious! What a place to relax, watch the lake activity and view the sunset. Simply wonderful. This is a refreshed older house, so design and some furnishings and appliances are dated (trash compactor, anyone?) but appliances all worked well. Interior mostly clean, exterior needs cleaning. It's split level. You enter on street level, which also has a full bath - this bath serves the downstairs. You go down half a flight or up half a flight to similar floor plans. Each floor has two bedrooms at the front (nearest the road, which is close). You will hear some road noise, but appears to be decent sound insulation - road noise never woke us up. Upstairs is a bunkroom and a large bedroom with a king. Upstairs also has full bath (shower but no tub). The bathrooms have been updated as to countertops, showers, fixtures, but not toilets. No issues there. Downstairs another two bedrooms. The bathroom is the previously mentioned entrance one (tub/shower). In the space nearest the lake, both levels have a long narrow living area in half the space, with a fireplace separating that from the other half, which upstairs is the kitchen and downstairs is the laundry room. Both living areas have TVs, as does bunkroom, but not the adult bedrooms. Wifi worked well. There are no instructions for working the TVs, so you have four remotes and no idea which to use in what order. Called the managers, who were not helpful. Similarly, no instructions for using fireplace (can only use the upstairs one). Another call. They texted handwritten instructions that looked like a child had done them. Tried to follow them a few times unsuccessfully (child smarter than me). If you're experienced w/ gas fireplaces, may not need them. Large garage has water toys. Could park a vehicle there - no remote opener available. Have I mentioned the glorious deck? Since the house is only 10 steps from the water, it looks like you're on a cruise ship - just railing and water. Can watch sunset from the deck, but a better view is from dock. There is a tiny beach (basically none), and you could tie up a boat or PWC to dock. Neighbors are very close. Not visible unless they go out in water or on docks, thanks to fences and trees, but you will hear them if they're there. If they're partying, then you're partying. House has a holding tank for sewer. If it fills up, light comes on in garage, then you have to call company to pump out, while worrying about overflow.

We really enjoyed our week at Cherry Fish North. We have stayed in numerous places on Crystal Lake over the summers but this home was one of our favorites. It was well equipped and the furnishings and finishes exceeded our expectations. The lake is literally out your front door. A few Adirondack chairs on the front lawn would make this a perfect beach experience!

We enjoyed our week at the Cherry Fish North and are scheduled to stay again next summer. Some feedback: The garage was accessible to us which was awesome for storing water and kids toys. Also they have a lot of water toys and chairs available for use including two kayaks. The AC is very powerful but on the living room wall, not central air but every closet had large fans for use if wanted. The laundry room is very large and the water is not iron’y like many other houses but bring laundry supplies. The kitchen is well-stocked and there’s a ton of closet space in this house. We have stayed in numerous houses on Crystal Lake (15+) and all have their quirks which is expected but it helps to know ahead: There are no stairs off the dock and there’s a band of stones so bring water shoes. The downstairs bath tub is unbelievably slippery so make use of the provided bath mat. If you have young children, bring a baby gate for the top of the stairs because the family room is the landing. The house is on a portion of Crystal Drive that is very busy, not very walkable/runnable so be careful!

Great locale, great amenities, and very clean! Sad that we couldn’t reserve it again next year.

As soon as we entered the home I knew we would have plenty of space for our family of 7. The house is beautifully located, and amenities abundance. Our young adults appreciated the kayaks and floats!

Awesome to be right in the water. Spacious living areas, perfect for 2 families or kids having a separate place to spend time. Nice big bedrooms. Very happy and would stay again in other seasons

The property had an amazing view and hotel like amenities

Stayed a few nights while skiing at Crystal Mountain. Nice place on a beautiful lake. Plenty of room to house our group comfortably. Much better than staying at a hotel. Enjoyed it. Would love to check it out again during the Summer.

Great experience and super clean!

I love that there’s kayaks, bikes, rafts.....it rained the whole weekend so we couldn’t do any of that but we will def be back next summer. It was super clean. Loved the board games and puzzles. What a great touch. You thought of everything.

5th year we have rented the cottage, it’s always been in good shape. Other than dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived, everything else was great.

A beautiful home in a perfect location

Beautiful lake, loved staying right on the water. House had plenty of room for everyone.

We have loved staying here for the last three years. The lake is beautiful and we enjoy spending time relaxing here.

It was perfect for our family of 7 for the sleeping arrangements. The two living spaces were great for the two kids. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and for the most part, the cottage was very clean.
