About the host
Hosted by Ed and Julie
As a family from the Grand Haven area, we’ve always loved spending time outdoors and embracing the adventures that Northern Michigan has to offer. From skiing and snowshoeing in winter to mountain biking and hiking in the summer, we’re passionate about outdoor sports and the beauty of this region. Crystal Lodge is our way of sharing this love for nature and adventure with others.

Whether it’s exploring the miles of trails for snowmobiling and SXS riding, hitting the slopes at Crystal Mountain Resort, or enjoying a peaceful hike through the woods, this property offers something for everyone.
We also love hosting friends and family, and Crystal Lodge is the perfect place to do just that. With 8.5 acres of private land, there’s ample space for kids to roam, play, and discover the joys of nature. And when the day winds down, we can gather around the fire pit, share stories, roast marshmallows, and relax in each other's company.
