Overall a nice stay with a few notable issues
Our stay was generally really great-- the house was beautiful and the location absolutely stellar! There were a few issues that bothered us considering the overall cost of the rental. First, we didn't really receive clear check-in instructions or a manual to the house, so we ended up having to ask the host a few questions. They were moderately responsive, but didn't seem to live locally and I was unsure whether there was an local property manager, as there were things that clearly needed to be replaced and repaired in the home. The trash can outside was completely full and overflowing (with trash bags in the driveway) upon our arrival, so we spent two days requesting a special trash pickup that the host finally took care of. There were several overhead lightbulbs that were burnt out in the downstairs bedrooms, which was problematic because we had older family members staying there who needed the overhead lighting. The host just told us to look for them in the pantry and change them ourselves, but we couldn't find lightbulbs and gave up. The bunk bed in the bunk room was incredibly rickety and unstable. We had a few handy guys in our group who had allen wrenches, so we took it upon ourselves to tighten it up and make it safer, but this is the kind of thing an owner or property manager should be on top of. The kitchen also is completely bare-- no salt, pepper, olive oil, etc. Bring all your own cooking supplies!

Great time at Crystal Lake
Perfect little house for our stay in Michigan. Loved how open the main area was and took advantage of deck over looking the lake every chance we could. We didn’t get a chance to fire up the s’mores but appreciate the little welcome gift (and chocolate bars did not go to waste). Would stay again if a chance arrives.

Perfect Location for Skiing Crystal
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home had great views of the lake and was an excellent location to ski. Close to Beulah and Frankfort as well. We would recommend the cottage for summer and winter visits.

Lake Town Cottage
This was a great little spot for our Adult Ski trip and I wouldn’t hesitate bringing our kids to this spot. Nice open concept with lots of natural lighting. Perfect for lounging after skiing all day. Only 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain and less than 5 minutes from downtown Beulah. I would highly recommend this house for winter or summer trips! I’m sure it is awesome in the summer since the lake view is 👌

Comfortable House
We spent the weekend inside because of the massive snow storm, low temps and terrific strong winds. So, no skiing. But a lot of time in the house, and it was comfortable. Although there was an assortment of pans and dinnerware there are no extras one might find in other rental houses (puzzles, games, brochures about local activities, pantry staples including salt & pepper), so bring anything you need. The bedrooms were nice, and perfect for 3 couples with 2Q and 1K beds. I was a little surprised that the house wasn't as big as it looked in the photos. Short lens camera shots I guess. But it was comfortable

Crystal Mountain Ski Weekend
We rented this home because of the proximity to Crystal Mountain. It was an easy 10 minute drive and we were on the slopes. The house is beautiful and you can watch the sunset over Crystal Lake. Lots of nearby trails for hiking. The house has a great layout and we were 8 people and had plenty of space. We will return!

Beautiful & spacious, but empty!
The property is beautiful & spacious & comfortably fit our group of 10. However, only 4 stars because it was EMPTY. Traveling from across the country I was disappointed there was no: Iron/Steamer, Kcups for the coffee machine, Shampoo or Conditioner, Hair Dryer, Salt & Pepper, dish soap & only 3 trashbags for a 3 night stay. Again, absolutely stunning property, just bring everything you may need.

Beautiful home and lovely location
The home was perfect for our family. We loved the space and cleanliness of the house. The deck had a great view, comfortable chairs and dog gates were nice for our dogs. It was nice to have comfortable beds and pillows. The area is perfect for quiet evenings watching the sunset and exploring Frankfort and Lake Michigan area. The town has great restaurants and the little beach in town is really nice. It would be nice to have a number to call for firewood delivery and some spices or salt and pepper in the kitchen, and perhaps a regular coffee maker but all very minor just suggestions. We enjoyed the house and will be back for sure. Thank you!

Great Lakehouse!
Great Lakehouse that comfortably fit 7 of us. Great location to Frankfort and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Host left us a nice welcoming card and fixings for S’mores. The only reason for 4 stars on accuracy of listing was because I was unable to find public beach access to Crystal lake within walking distance. However, public access to lake was a quick 1-2 mile drive into town of Beulah. I highly recommend this location for any family!

Beulah house
We enjoyed our stay. Here are a few suggestions: 1. The basement rooms were very damp. A dehumidifier might be helpful. 2. The igniters on the stove need to be repaired. 3. We would have appreciated a booklet of information like we’ve seen in other rentals. Information such as when to put out the trash (we figured it out by looking at neighbors), where to shop for groceries, sightseeing places, nearest hospital, how much we were expected to clean up before we left, etc.

Good times
We had a great long weekend here. The property is very newly remodeled and everything is modern and sleek. Our multigenerational group had plenty of space to eat and sit together in the upstairs common area and enough bedrooms for everyone to have some privacy. We were there in the winter so we did not use any of the outdoor things, but inside was great. It was a quick drive to Crystal Mountain to ski and an easy drive up to Traverse City to shop and have dinner. Erica was easy to work with and everything went well. We would stay here again.
