Aptly named, Crystal Lake has clean, clear water. Our location has a naturally sandy beach (no rocks, and you can see to the bottom!) great for families and swimming, fishing, boating. We have 3 piers and a large swim raft which is deep enough to dive from. We provide kayaks, canoes, paddleboat, rowboats, and life preservers for your use. This is a great place for lounging on the beach while watching your kids swim, floating in a tube with a drink, fishing, or exploring the area in a kayak. Picnic tables and large yard for yard games- bring your favorites along! Shuffleboard court available. Quiet roads for biking/jogging with beautiful views. Owner on property if you need assistance.
Perfect for Family Reunions- this is one of 3 cottages on site (inquire for available dates). Beach is private for use only by our renters. 200 linear feet of waterfront.

Just as described. If what you're looking for is rustic and peaceful, this is it. We didn't need bells and whistles. We needed to escape the busy, and we did here. We were able to easily cook for ourselves, spend quality time playing on a beautiful lake, venture out a little for golf, connect to wifi, and even bring the dog! Hosts were lovely and even had a fire on the beach for us all.

We had a wonderful week at Crystal Acres. We stayed in the Shanty cabin, it was spotless and very comfortable. We were able to bring our dog, which made the week even more enjoyable. The beach front on the lake was perfect and we also enjoyed the use of the kayaks. We took advantage of the fire pit on the beach several nights.
It’s a great way to relax and enjoy the idyllic location. We hope to return in the future.
