Wonderful stay

Our stay was incredible and very relaxing! Our kids loved it as well and had so much fun on the beach and kayaks. The owners were incredible and very helpful. My kids say that this was the best weekend of their lives! Rating this 5 stars, would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Who doesn't enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach? We know where to look when we go on vacation again! Thank you host's for allowing my family on your property and enjoy the beauty.

The Beulah Cabin

The cabin is wonderful, the property is fantastic and the location made for a wonderful stay. A short walk to Beulah and the Betsie Bike Trail is an added benefit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The use of your kayak was an added plus. Sitting on the beach chairs by the water late at night, seeing the stars, the Betsie Light and the sound of the waters of Crystal Lake was an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for sharing your property.

Small but cozy cabin, located next to owners house

We were very happy with our stay. The cabin is very small, but well kept with good amenities. VERY compfy beds, a nice shower head with hot water, everything in the kitchen worked well. Everything is marked very well as to where to park and what items you can use. It was cooler weather so we didn't end up using the beach really, but liked that it was included. My biggest heads up for others looking to book this is 1. the space is very small, and I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it as much with more than 2 people in the cabin. The bedrooms are so cramped it is hard to find room for your suitcase. (I actually would have preferred a luggage rack over the closed door closet or dresser.) And 2. The owner lives on the property too. The aerial photo showing where the cabin is located is old, and between the cabin and the lake is the owner's house. His backyard is your cabin's front yard. You walk past his house, which overlooks the lake, to access the beach. The owner was very nice and helpful during our stay so we had no complaints, but I know not everyone wants to be staying right next to the owner, and that wasn't clear in the vrbo listing.

Wonderful experience

Brian was phenomenal, the cottage was cozy, hooks everywhere to hang bathing suits and towels, beds so comfortable if you’d like a softer bed like my daughter and I do, Plenty of towels for the bathroom, kitchen well-stocked If able, add more lights in the kitchen and side lamps for the evening in the living room, wish there would have been a rake available rake up some of the debris that washed ashore. Otherwise, loved the beach and floating platform Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

Family Getaway at Crystal Lake

We had a great stay in this cozy cabin a stones throw from Crystal Lake. We really enjoyed that there were many activities right on the property from kayaking and the row boat to games in the shed. Fire pits on the beach and outside the cabin with wood provided was a nice touch. Overall had a wonderful time with friendly host nearby.
