About this property

Welcome to The Fore Seasons at Crystal Mountain. This well-appointed vacation home is located in the popular Club neighborhood with views of the Betsie Valley course 12th hole. This 3 BR, 1.5 BA home is perfect for your golf or ski vacation in northern Michigan. Just a short walk, bike ride, or shuttle will take you to all the amenities that Crystal Mountain has to offer.
The main floor of the house has a bunk room with 2 sets of twin/full bunk beds. This room also has a flat screen smart TV. The cozy living room is equipped with a gas fireplace, oversized sofa and an amazingly comfortable "chair-and-a-half." The full bath on this level has a separate shower and large jetted tub. The kitchen is well-equipped with small appliances, utensils, dinnerware, glassware, serving dishes, and children's dishes. There is also a full size laundry room and mud room.
Upstairs are two good sized bedrooms, one with a queen and the other with a king bed. There is a half-bath on the upper level as well.
Out back, there is a deck for enjoying the gorgeous Michigan spring, summer, and fall weather. We’ve also added a pergola with adjustable shade. There is a fire pit in the yard with wood available at many places nearby. There is also a gas grill available to use with propane provided.
In addition, you will be centrally located and within minutes of many other great “up north” attractions. A tube/float down the Platte River is just 20 miles away. You can be at Crystal Lake in 15 minutes. Sleeping Bear Dunes and Glen Arbor is an easy 45 minute drive. There is so much to do in northern Michigan, and Fore Seasons is a great spot to experience it all.
And if golf is your thing, Arcadia Bluffs, a top US golf destination is just about 15 minutes away. With the addition of the new South Course this year, a weekend at Arcadia would be amazing.
Crystal Mountain Resort offers many amenities that are available to you. However, they are not included in the rental price as this is a privately owned home on Crystal Mountain property. These can all be used on a pay-as-you-go basis.
We do offer a shuttle pass that can be used for on-demand service to and from Crystal Mountain from the property.

Great stay for enjoying a weekend at Crystal Mountain!

We loved our stay at the cozy cabin! We loved the ski and golf decor throughout the cabin (our family’s 2 favorite sports)! The cabin had everything we needed to cook and prep meals for our family to enjoy before and after a fun day on the slopes (plenty of pots/pans, crockpot, griddle, cooking utensils). We loved the ski boot warmers in the mud room too! The big kitchen table was really nice to fit all our family for meals and playing cards. We had family nearby that our non skiers dropped us off at the hill each day but the crystal shuttle goes by often also that is really convenient. We loved our stay and would definitely love to stay here again, thank you Katie for your excellent communication with us preparing for our visit! We are so grateful and created awesome memories this weekend! :)

Great house right on crystal property.

This was a great place to stay. Conveniently located, but on the outskirts of the resort giving you better privacy. I would definitely stay here again. Simple check in. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Great stay at Crystal Mountain!!

Great property! Perfect location as home base for day trips around Traverse city area. Property was clean and we had prompt communication with owners. Walked Crystal Mountain property every morning, golfed at resort and sampled nearby Ironfish Distillery. Easy drives to Empire and Frankfort areas. A perfect place to stay. Just the right size for 3 adults and just the right location. You won’t be sorry reserving this place!

Perfect Home Away from Home

This was our second year staying here and we had a wonderful time. The location can’t be beat as it is a short drive to all of our favorite places, Platte Point, Dune Climb, Cherry Hut, Glen Arbor and more. We were able to enjoy the activities and amenities at Crystal Mountain like hiking through the art park and shopping at their Market. Katie’s home is equipped with everything we needed and offered plenty of space for my family to relax both inside and outside between excursions. Thanks so much for having us back. My kids are now referring to your home as “The up north house” and are already asking when we will be coming back.

Great Vacation Home

Our family spent a week at this property, which was a great central location to access all the fun nothern Michigan has to offer. The owner was easily reachable from the beginning. The house is stocked with all the things you need for a great week with family. We really enjoyed the open kitchen, eating and living area for mornings and evenings. The yard for great for getting kids outside andenjoy the beautiful weather. Very comfortable and great for our family vacation. Highly recommend this spot.

Terrific Stay!

This home was perfect for our family of 4. It had everything we needed! As soon as we walked in, we felt right at home. The home owners were very accommodating and we couldn’t be more appreciative. Conveniently located to any activities at Crystal Mountain. A not too far, enjoyable drive to downtown Frankfort, beaches, and scenic views. Highly recommend! We will be back!

Another great stay

This was our third stay at Fore Seasons, and it won’t be our last. The house is immaculate! Love the new sun canopy on the deck! Nice big yard if you have kids who need space. The kitchen is well equipped with high quality items. The beds are very comfortable. Location is nice…close to many sights & attractions…but quiet and private too. Katie is amazing to work with. We will go back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Martin

We love spending time together up north as a family.
We bought this home last fall just in time for ski season.
We love Crystal Mountain and the entire surrounding area.
Tubing down the Platte river is one of our favorite things to do Up North in the summer.
In the fall, we love to hike the dune trails in and around Sleeping Bear.
Of course, we love skiing, snowshoeing, and hanging around the mountain in the winter.
We love our "cabin" because of its proximity to the ski hills, the quiet comfort, and the views of the golf course.
