Comfortable and Cozy

We rented both cottages on this property for the week. They were clean and had everything we needed. By renting both cottages we were together but also had time for privacy. The lake is beautiful! One of our favorite places in Michigan and it is conveniently located to other great attractions.

An ideal lake cottage

The property is perfect! This was our third year staying there. It is right on the lake. It is super casual so you don't have to worry about little feet at their tendency to track sand. The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything we have needed. I have only nice things to say

I love Crystal Lake

We had to find a new place to stay for this summer as we got shut out of our previous resort. We found this property and booked. This cottage has more room than our previous cabin, so that is a plus. Bathroom is a little small but it serves the purpose. This cottage is a comfortable place to stay. Not fancy, but nice. We loved that the lake was so close to our cottage! And being that there is only 1 other cabin, it was not as hectic as the other resort (7 cabins). There is no real beach at the resort but this was not a pro lem for us. We swam off the dock and used the public access beach right next to us. This small beach did get quite a bit of use while we were there from people from near by. The road is close by but we had no issue with road noise. All in all, we were very pleased with are stay here and plan to return.

Bliss by the Lake

This cottage was perfect for a summer family getaway. We brought our dog too! The cottage has old school charm and the view can’t be beat. Right next door to a small public access beach where we put in our kayak. Loved watching sunsets from the dock!

Fabulous Location

Location, view, and the sound of lapping waves makes up for having to bring your own linens, hand soap, and TP. The downtown area is a few miles away with easy access to a walking/biking trail. The property mgr seemed eager to help with whatever we needed. Not the Holiday Inn but adequate.

About the host

Hosted by Dustin Wolpoff

Host profile image
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,

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.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
