The home was suitable for our needs. The location was great for day trips to many great beaches.

We went on many day trips to Leland, Traverse City, Frankfort, Manistee, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and more. We swam, found beach glass, dined, and shopped. At night, we returned "home" to enjoy the spacious back yard, playing croquet, boche ball, ladder ball, and frisbee. Inside, all 10 of us could eat at the large table. Then played games and completed puzzles. Such fun!

Perfect place for our golf group!

This rental was as advertised plus a little more! It’s tucked away inside a secluded subdivision and has tons of parking with the large driveway. The house itself was fairly spacious, our group of 7 adults had plenty of room to stretch out. Also, the living and dining room pictures don’t do the rooms justice, they are larger than they appear online! The laundry room was also very useful as we encountered some rain during the weekend. Highly recommend this home!

Vacation Stay

The home worked fine for our family and was organized and clean. The property outside needs some TLC but it is a beautiful neighborhood and right down the street from crystal mountain, it was an ideal point to get to all of our destinations in NW Michigan. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing house and location

This was our first time to Crystal Mountain and we are officially hooked. The house was beautiful, incredibly clean and in the perfect location. It felt so homey and comfortable. I was very impressed with the extensive measures the host has gone through to make it what it is. The beds were comfortable, we had everything we needed and there isn’t one thing I was disappointed with. We will definitely be back!
