Ski weekend get away

From the start, Janay was so welcoming. We were able to stay at their beautiful home with a group of friends for a ski weekend! Our large group fit perfectly at this house. It was clean, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. Janay was quick to respond if we ever needed anything. We will definitely be back!

Awesome lake house

We had a wonderful week staying in this lake house. It is well-maintained and feels like home. We love how the bedroom areas are separated. There is plenty of room to spread out. The deck has a great view of the lake. The beach area has enough room for all of us to hang out and play. We love the fire pit on the deck.

Perfect family vacation

We are a large family ranging in age of 1 year to over 70 years old, this house was exactly what we needed and more. The pictures in the listing are beautiful but it is even more beautiful in person. The owners were very helpful, answered all of our questions before our trip and responded quickly when we had a question during our stay. We had one of our best family trips ever, we are looking forward to returning!

The Lake House was just as shown on the VRBO site. Very roomy. A perfect space for my family group of fourteen.

Beautiful home to enjoy a fall trip in up north MI!

Myself and 9 other guests had a wonderful time. Though the house sleeps up to 20 - the host does have a limit for toilet paper and trash bags (1 roll per bathroom, and 2 trash bags for the entirety of your stay). I found this policy inconvenient and irrational due to the volume of guests and money paid. However, the host was communicative and very kind.

Great Stay For A Crystal Mountain Ski Trip!

We had a group of 16 (7 adults and 9 kids) stay here for a long ski weekend. The house was perfect for our needs. The upstairs combined bedrooms was perfect for our kids to be able to go to and allowed the parents to stay up a little later at night and not worry about waking any of them. The kitchen was big enough for our breakfast/dinner needs, and the living room/basement allowed for everyone to be able to relax after a long day on the slopes. This house is a quick drive to get to Crystal Mountain, so it made for easy trips over or to bring kiddos back when they were finished for the day. The only downfall of this house is the accessibility during northern Michigan winters. The drive was plowed prior to our getting there and the day we left, but we were getting a few inches of snow each day during our stay. We had a minivan in our group that had issues getting in/out of the private drive. I do not hold this against the host or the quality of their wonderful home - I just want to let others be aware of a potential issue that can be easily avoided. I highly recommend taking a 4 wheel drive vehicle to ensure that you have no issues. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend any other larger group stay here. We will keep an eye out for it next winter when we go back up north again for a ski trip!

Beautiful Lake Front property.

The property owner did a great job in making sure the property was ready, that we understood our responsibilities as renters and that we were able to get any questions asked about the property. The property sits on a hill about 150 ft above the water making for incredible views. Ample outside space to enjoy a nice day with everyone staying at the property. Nice dock with kayaks and paddle boards available to us at the beach. Made for great opportunity for those who wanted some exercise to get it. Not that we cooked, but the kitchen was well appointed and laid out nicely to accommodate cooking if you wished to. Only one minor drawback was to access one of the bedrooms upstairs you had to traverse through another bedroom. Worked fine for us as it was all close family. Might be awkward for others. Definitely would encourage anyone with a family gathering or close knit group of friends to stay at this property. Crystal Lake is a beautiful and less crowded part of Northern Michigan.

Multi family

The home was beautiful and very well maintained! Nicely decorated, very homey and felt comfortable. There was plenty of space and sleeping rooms. The bedrooms were adorable! Kids had a great time in the rooms. The view out the back was amazing! The deck was a great place to sit and drink your coffee. The lake was beautiful and the beach area and dock were perfect! The kids had a great time playing in the soft sand and paddleing boarding. The adults enjoyed sitting around watching the children play:) great selection of toys and we even had some volleyball fun! The basement was very nice for the kids to go down and relax and watch a movie at the end of the day. The area was beautiful all tucked away and nice neighbors and surrounded by beautiful homes well taken care of. Also, enjoyed the trails for morning runs. We had a great time!! The home was beautiful:) the view was beautiful of the lake and nature. Felt tucked away from people. Very relaxing! Kid friendly home:) great for large groups.
