Had a great time at Crystal Lake. The house was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and quiet. Spent 2 days on the water and 2 days exploring. Easy in and out and very responsive. Would stay here again if/when in the area.
The cottage was beautifully renovated and very clean. The beach was perfect for our 18 month old and it was stocked with everything we needed to make our vacation perfect. Katy is always great with communication and we would absolutely book this place again!
We loved our time at Deckside Dreams. The beds were heaven, so cozy and comfortable. Well appointed kitchen, and huge smart TV. Great location to nearby Michigan treasures to discover. We will definitely be back!
This property is phenomenal. Not sure if it was recently renovated, but the interior is set up perfectly and is super comfortable. The separate guest cabin is actually a really nice feature. Probably not the best set up for a young family, but it’s perfect for 3 or 4 adults. The only thing that would’ve made this better is if there was one more room. But that’s not a knock against the property at all. The walkout beach is super nice. If Ironman Michigan 70.3 comes back this is probably top of our list.
