Beautiful Lake House

This beautiful home checked all of the boxes for my family's vacation needs. It is situated right on the shores of Crystal Lake, within walking distance to town, has a private beach, lots of space and was clean! The well-appointed kitchen had everything we needed for meal preparation, as well as two dishwashers and two refrigerators. There were plenty of dishes and silverware, including plastic items for the kids. The bathrooms and bedrooms were roomy with kleenex, towels and toilet paper provided. The beach was clean and the water was warm and shallow. The owner provided paddle boards and kayaks, which we enjoyed very much, and there was a closet full of beach towels provided, as well. The town of Beulah is a short 10 minute walk away, and there you will find a few restaurants and a coffee shop. Not much in the way of shops, though. The Family Fare Grocery store is a short 10 minute drive away, and it had everything we needed. There is a wood-burning fire pit on the beach, but you will need to purchase your own firewood. There are walking paths and bike trails nearby. The town of Frankfort is a short drive away and has shops, restaurants, and a nice park for the kids to play in. Glen Arbor is 30 minutes north, with shops and restaurants. The owners of this property were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had during our stay. Any text we sent was returned within minutes. Highly recommend this property. We can't wait to return!

Wonderful Family Get-together

We recently enjoyed our third family vacation at the cottage. We love the location, the perfect view of Crystal Lake as well as easy walking distance to Beulah. The cottage is a perfect fit for our family, this year spanning children’s ages from four to fourteen. The lower level bunk area/tv room is a great area for the teenagers, and the four-year old spent many hours enjoying the beautiful sandy beach. The kayaks and paddle boards are always an attraction and a nice addition to fun along with the fire pit for S’mores. While the cottage was undergoing some renovation, the owners made every effort to guarantee that our stay would be comfortable and all that we expected from our previous stays. This year we enjoyed a beautiful new kitchen with gorgeous appliances and countertops. Another new bathroom is planned for next year. Communication with the owners is exceptional. We have already booked for 2024 and can’t wait to see the completed renovations next summer!

The backyard was the best for all of our friends to hang out at and enjoy all day and night long. All 14 people slept comfortably all weekend. A short walk to a cute brewery with great food. Sitting outside one night we saw the northern lights!!

Spectacular

Best sunsets ever in this generously equipped home. We rode bikes to Lake Michigan on fantastic trail, enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, savored delicious home grilled dinners on the deck overlooking beautiful Crystal Lake. Easy access to fresh produce market, Dairy King, great golf and more. We were two families -- 11 total -- and all had comfortable accommodations. Great linens! Shhhh....don't tell anyone ;-)

Another Great Vacation

We found this property last year, returned again, and have already booked for next year. The home is perfect for our family, especially the lower level where teenage grandchildren have their own bunk space, bathroom, huge tv and ping pong table. The property is equipped with kayaks and paddle boards which we all used and enjoyed. Communication with the owners is excellent, and they text occasionally to be sure our week is going well and answer any questions. We all love the location and take full advantage of Beulah, the bike trail, and, of course, the spectacular sunsets. We can’t wait for our return!

Awesome Family Beach Vacation

Our family had 7 adults and 2 babies (both under 1 y/o). This was the perfect spot for us to relax with the little ones and for others to kayak and have outdoor fun. The house was fully stocked and lots of thoughtful touches for kiddos/families. Highly recommend !!!!

Beautiful home with an even more stunning view

My children and I stayed here for a short fall trip visit. We loved the stay and having the water just steps away made the week. There were many rooms to choose from, allowing us all to spread out and relax. The town is just a short walk away, and they have a few shops for your convenience. The hone came with kayaks, paddle boards, and all the water toys you could want. Thanks for the great stay!

Feels like a tropical getaway

Crystal Lake is so gorgeous and so is this house. We went for a girls weekend and it was so perfect! Enough room, bathrooms, and things to do that we could enjoy the house, each other and our own privacy. We rode the bikes in to town and made food there both was fun. The view and being able to hear waves crashing around you at night felt like we were on the ocean. Very special spot.

End of summer fun

This property is exactly like the pictures! I had six adults and we had plenty of space. Spent all of our time at the beach and on the water. The dock is new and very safe and sturdy. The kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and beach towels! Great property!

A Perfect Stay

We have rented on Crystal Lake for years, and this property was by far the best for our family. We love the location on Center Street with easy access to Beulah, the Cherry Hut, and the “long view” of the lake with beautiful sunsets. The beach area is beautiful, sandy with a great dock, fire pit, and yard. The outdoor “toys” are plentiful with kayaks, paddle boards, basketball, bikes, etc., which we all enjoyed. The house is spacious, nicely appointed and so well stocked with all linens and beach towels. Communication with the owners has been great. We have already booked for next summer and can’t wait to return!

Great host, location, home

Wonderful location on lake. Pleasant host who communicates well. No problems with house. House was a bit bigger than I expected, based on photos. The house comes with everything you could need, from beach toys and towels to surprisingly good kitchen knives and two coffee makers, little details like that.

Convenient location to downtown Beulah

We really liked the multiple levels, especially given that we had young kids with us. The distance to the beach/water was perfect for my (very senior) parents because there was no giant staircase of steps to navigate--you walk right out from the lower level to the beach. We really liked how easy it was to walk to downtown Beulah (brewery, sandwich shops, etc.).

The Perfect Location!

We had an amazing stay on Crystal Lake. The location of this home couldn’t have been more perfect to experience the beautiful sunsets and sunrises over the water. The colors seemed to be different every day. I only wish I could post some of those photos. The house was perfect for our family of 7 which included 4 teens and 3 adults. Plenty of sleep space for everyone with room to move around. Nobody ever got bored. The ping pong table and all the water equipment was an awesome bonus. The house was well stocked with basic necessities/kitchen items. We spent most of our stay in the gorgeous water, but the location was also perfect for venturing out to see the surrounding area/towns. The owners and property manager were excellent at keeping in touch and communicating if we had any questions. We are so sad to be home, but it was the perfect vacation for our family and we hope we can make it back next year!

Beautiful clean home right on the lake

We had the most wonderful time when we stayed at this home over the summer. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. It met the needs of our family. The home was supplied with every type of equipment needed for the water. From kayaks, to stand up paddle boards, and floats. There were also bikes to ride. We come to this area every summer and I must say that this home and this location was our favorite place that we have stayed at. Prayush was available anytime we had questions prior to our arrival and also while we were there. He made sure that we felt at home. We would recommend this home for anyone who is looking for beautiful comfortable place to stay. We would love to stay again but we noticed it is no longer pet friendly. We have a small dog that we always bring with to our Michigan vacations. Thank you Prayush for making our summer 2020 vacation special.

Nice place but double booked

The house itself is great with an awesome location right on Crystal Lake. It has all of the amenities to make for a great trip. However, the property was double booked and we were not notified of this until 3 days before our trip. We had to rearrange our trip to accommodate for this by checking in a day later. The owner did refund us one night and gave us half off of another, but we were unable to check in until 7 that day. If it were not for the scheduling mistake I would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Prayush & Hollie

We have a rather international family. My wife Hollie Anderson, grew up in Northern Indiana, while I (Prayush Saraswat), grew up in Mumbai, India. Hollie is a German teacher, and Prayush works in the hi-tech/software industry. We have two kids, Sam Anderson Saraswat and Leena Anderson Saraswat. They both enjoy playing Violin. Sam is now at MSU studying political science, and Leena is finishing high school. They both love this lake house. We all love to travel and have traveled to 6 continents. Our interests are reflected in the house and furnishings.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in this area for years, and have always dreamed if buying a house on the lake here. We particularly enjoy the clear water of Crystal lake and activities in Frankfort. It is our favorite place in the world to vacation. We thought this house could easily accommodate friends and family, and would be great for us to just walk out to the beach. We are glad it came up for sale in 2019.

What makes this property unique

Right on the beach. Walk or Kayak to Beulah downtown (including 5th shore brewery). Enjoy sports on Crystal Lake. Bike to Frankfort. Close to Platt River for kayaking. 15 mins to Cristal Mountain. Close to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park
