Needs some updating

This cottage is on a beautiful spot on Crystal Lake in Beulah. There’s a nice dock on the lake, and a sandy beach right next-door. However, the beds and sofa could use some updating. Neither were comfortable. The fire pit is in the yard of the cottage next-door, so hopefully you get along with the neighbors if you plan to use the fire pit.

Great family getaway!

Our family of four (2 youngins 2 and 4 yes old) and our dog stayed here for a week and had a great time! The cabin was perfectly suited for our needs and the girls loved being able to swim right out the front door. The breeze off the lake kept the cabin cool at night and the kitchen had all the basic necessities we needed. The owner was very responsive to our needs and easy to communicate as well. We love it up here and will be back!

Not ideal for people over 60

The beds were horrible, felt likeI I was living in college dorm. The couch was horrific to sit on. The stove was pathetic. The noise from the road was becoming unbearable. But the view & lake are is unbelievable

Perfect location

We loved the location. All communication was easy and great. The home didn't have a warm feel and def bring all your own stuff including kitchen towels, hand soap for the bathroom, etc... there was only one roll of toilet paper for the week for a fam of 3. Thanks for a relaxing week.

Loved this summer rental and waterfront!

Great little house and location on Crystal Lake. Just enough space for the 5 of us. We all had a great time here. Although the continuous breeze off the lake kept the house cool enough, it did get rather humid at times. Overall, would definitely love to stay there again!

Lovely atay

Great little house on a beautiful lake. Perfect for a low key vacation. Our kids caught a bunch of tiny fish right from the dock and we had a lakeside campfire every night. Check-in and communication was great. Even better if you can get both of the small homes on the property and stay with another family!

Beautiful location on crystal clear Crystal Lake

Great rental value for a property on beautiful Crystal Lake. There is an identical cottage adjacent on the shared property. The lot is large enough that this wasn't a problem. The shoreline is stunning with a sandbar going several hundred feet out. Great spot for swimming, kayaking, water sports. The cottage had all the basic amenities needed.

Perfect cabin for myself and my 2 kids. My mother and father in law stayed at the cabin next to us. It was a great family get away! Cabin is small but perfect for what we wanted. Beautiful views of the lake and kids loved swimming off the dock! We will definitely stay there again!

Rustic, tiny, a true cabin with a fantastic view.

We especially loved all the windows and the incredible view of Crystal Lake, my husband's childhood area for the summers. We had 4 adults and 1 bathroom but it worked out just fine. Nice fire pit but it was so windy we didn't get a chance to use it. If you like a cabin feel from the 50's, this is the place. One thing to consider is provide sheets and towels.

About the host

Hosted by Dustin Wolpoff

Crystal Tradition cottages have been family owned for over a hundred years. As a child growning up on beautiful Crystal Lake I am excited to share our cottages and experiences with you.

Why they chose this property

This property offers lakefront recreation, boat mooring, dock, fire pit, and easy access to local activities. Avoid the hustle of hotels and highways, bask in the quiet sunshine of your own private cottage on stunning Crystal Lake, and explore scenic M22, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and the inland coasts of Northern Michigan.

What makes this property unique

When the pink hues of the evening sunset settle westward, Crystal Lake's blue depths are framed against the hills that surround its waters, appearing like a mountain lake surrounded by peaks. Unique in all regards, I have never experienced a more accommodating and scenic area.
