10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Very large and spacious home. The view is absolutely beautiful! Perfect distance away from all the business but can still get into town in a pretty short time. The kitchen was well equipped, and perfect for cooking family dinner. Would 100% book again if in the area

We loved everything about this property. Toys galore for the kids and the beach and lake were perfect. We will definitely stay again.
5.0 / 10.0·Feb 2022
This house was ideal for a winter long-weekend getaway. The house was spacious with plenty of room for the 16 guests in my party. The living room contains a large wood-burning fireplace that we enjoyed sitting in front of playing cards. The house is perched atop a large hill with outstanding views of Crystal Lake and the surrounding area. While the driveway is steep in parts, it was well-plowed and was even attended to after we received a few inches of snow during our stay.
The surrounding area provides plentiful winter activities. We went skiing at nearby Crystal Mountain ski resort, which was a short 15-minute drive away. We also enjoyed the proximity to Traverse City which made air travel easier for some of the guests.
Overall this house had everything we were looking for in a winter-destination cabin. I would highly recommend.
