2025 reunion

We come every other her summer 9 times now and all agree this was our best accommodations yet. The setting was so relaxing and everything we could possibly think of to use cooking was there.

House, photos, and description were accurate and served our families well for a family wedding in the vicinity. Kitchen and restrooms were well stocked. Only minor challenge was parking several cars in narrow driveway, but we easily learned to play musical cars to accommodate.

Great Frankfort getaway

We stayed in early August with my family and my sister's family. Everything about this stay was easy and exceeded expectations. My teens appreciated the extensive basement space. We loved the wrap-around deck for morning coffee and proximity to the little beach at Crystal Lake for the little cousins. We would definitely rent this property again.

Crystal Creek was a home away from home!

We had a wonderful stay at Crystal Creek. The house had everything you could possibly need! We cooked many meals in the well appointed kitchen. I loved the open layout of the kitchen and living room. My family were all together (7 adults) and there was plenty of room for everyone to be together and visit. The host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property. It felt more like you were a guest in someone’s home than just a rental.

What’s Not To Love About This House?

This lovely home exceeded our expectations! The spacious wooded lot provided the opportunity to observe wildlife native to the area.The lake is a short 2- block walk, and the area is great for taking a quick run or leisurely walk. We enjoyed having our meals and playing games on the wraparound deck. Inside, the accommodations were cozy, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of space so that no one felt cramped. Having air conditioning was a plus when late afternoon temps and lake humidity rose. Also, the property is a short drive to downtown Frankfort. Our group felt completely at home, and we are already planning to rent this house again!

Shannon and Laura have a beautiful home just steps away from Crystal Lake and a quick drive (5 minutes) to the charming town of Frankfort. Excellent location to walk or bike the peaceful roadway surrounding Crystal Lake. The home is spacious and well equipped for your family stay. Lovely woodland views with abundant wildlife. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crystal Creek Cottage! Highly recommend!
