Absolutely Perfect
I can't say enough how wonderful this property is. It includes a beautiful, new, well-stocked kitchen, clean & beautifully decorated rooms, and basically anything you could need for a fun vacation. The views are breathtaking, and falling asleep to the relaxing sound of the waves was amazing. Highly recommend!!!

Everything and more
This place is a gem. I have spent my summers in this area since I was a small boy, but I had never stayed on the north shore of Crystal. Beautifull house and property with sunsets as a bonus. We had an issue with the heater as the days started to get colder and the management was on top things and dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently. Great living space for our family of 5. The views on the lake changed throughout the day - it was a great place to watch the season change. We loved it!

Wonderful family vacation
We were right on Crystal Lake, with views of the water from practically every room. Everyone in our group found their rooms to be quite comfortable. Communication with the hosts was always prompt and the house was well supplied with maintenance materials to keep everything in order. To ice the cake, we had the pleasant surprise of finding a hot tub installed on the property midweek, just as the weather was showing that early September nip. All in all, a great week in a great area.

Crystal Lake Stay
Overall great stay and Jas and Sue were friendly and helpful! Only feedback would be to get blackout curtains on the bedroom windows as the window coverings didn't work. Otherwise it was a great experience - thank you Jas and Sue!

Lakeside Getaway
We stayed one week. We enjoyed the outdoors everyday. The water was wonderful, whether it was Crystal Lake or Lake Michigan. The housing accommodations were perfect for our group. We really enjoyed spending time on the lake during the day and sitting around the campfire at night. We had a great time, thanks!
