McKenzie's Lodge

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy this private retreat seated in the woods of Thompsonville on your next family vacation or getaway with friends! The furnished deck and private balcony look out to the foliage and provide great places to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Enjoy nights out by the firepit roasting marshmallows under the stars for some classic s'mores. The wood-burning stove will keep everyone warm on colder days and the full kitchen is ready to make comforting homecooked meals for the whole group. Don't forget to stop by the hot tub in the Crystal Spa & Fitness Center at Crystal Mountain Resort! Plus, if you stay during the colder months, this home makes for a great home base for a ski trip to Crystal Mountain.

Sitting at the base of Crystal Mountain, guests will be able to experience resort activities nearby such as skiing, snowboarding, and hiking! The mountain offers runs for all experience levels during winter months, so the whole family can have fun on fresh powder. During warmer times of the year, take a leisurely walk and view the unique art exhibits in Michigan Legacy Art Park or play a round of golf on the resort's golf course. If you brought little ones along, spend warm days at the Park at Water's Edge, a waterpark featuring slides and fountains to cool off in. For a day trip head over to Lake Michigan for a day on the sand and a swim in clear waters just 18 miles away.

Great Weekend

Third year in a row we have rented this great cabin for our Archery weekend. Always clean and spacious. Brand new carpet this year, although it was beautiful very light color for a rental property, made us nervous.

Fall color trip

Spacious and clean home. Plenty of room as there is a basement, main level and upstairs. Love the privacy, quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Kitchen was stocked very well. Plenty of blankets, pillows etc. The management group was very quick to respond to any questions and willing to help when needed. If you have anyone that is handicapped there are many stairs which would make it difficult, my husband has heart issues and struggled with steps. The tv is limited, we struggled with using - it would be nice to have directions. We ended up watching you tube the entire time which was fine except it would lag sometimes. Other than that it was a great experience - beautiful scenery!

Cozy, spacious home away from home

The property was cozily decorated and clean. The setting in the lush woods was gorgeous and the close proximity to Crystal Mountain resort was so convenient! We lacked nothing in the way of entertainment or cooking utensils, with the board games and DVD's, and even roasting sticks for s'mores. Fans in all the rooms helped us regulate the temperature with the newly cool night air and warmer days. It was nice for our large family to each have their own bed, although they were a little stiff for our tastes. One of the two issues we had were with the carbon monoxide alarm when we first arrived, for which we called for service and it was promptly taken care of. The other was that we couldn't figure out how to turn to on one of the ceiling lights in the bedroom upstairs. We assumed it was burnt out bulbs, but none of the extra bulbs in the house solved that. We made do with lamps and natural light. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Providing fire wood and allowing use of the fire pit, wood stove, and chimenea was great. Often times owners don't allow renters to use such amenities.
