My daughter and I were very comfortable here. It was the perfect size for the two of us. We were grateful for the games that were provided when the weather wasn't ideal, too. And the location is beautiful in the fall!

Great Getaway

My daughter and I had a great time when we stayed her for a long weekend. The cottage was very clean, and we loved how it was decorated. The porch swing was a favorite spot. The cottage wasn't too far away from town, and we had fun exploring the area.

This was our second stay at the cozy little Get-a-Away—and it truly lives up to its name. The cottage is clean, comfortable, and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The property owner and the surrounding community are incredibly kind and welcoming, and we’ve always felt right at home here. There’s a quiet charm to the place that reflects the care and respect shown by those who stay and those who live nearby.The location is ideal—just a short drive to Beulah, Frankfort, and all the natural beauty the area has to offer.We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Good times

Cottage nice and clean Only a double bed though which is a little too cozy and no internet even though it was listed as an amenity which was a big disappointment. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay here again.

Cozy cottage!

The property was conveniently located steps from the nice, private beach. We spent a good deal of time jumping off the dock and kayaking in beautiful Crystal Lake. The kitchen was well-equipped and the cottage was clean. We definitely utilized all the fans to keep cool at night. Loved the patio with swinging bed and the outdoor table & chairs.

Lovely Cabin for our family

We had a great week-long stay at this lovely little cabin on Crystal Lake. It was clean, well-maintained, and well-organized. The owner has painstakingly restored the cabin and added some charming touches. I loved the hanging swing on the front porch and the kitchen nook. We appreciated that the cabin had wifi so we could stay connected, but didn't have a TV which would have been too tempting for our son. The shared beach was right across the street. We loved the long dock, the sandy beach, and the people who we met there. The owner a great communicator. We would stay at the cozy green cabin again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful little cottage

The cottage was very clean, nicely updated and quaint. Very cozy and inviting. Patio area was a nice size and it was great to be able to have meals outside. We were on the go a lot and did not utilize the beach and or Crystal Lake just across the road. However, it was sandy and for being a shared beach it did not seem to be too busy. There is also a public access beach very close to the cottage that also has a sandy beach. Joan was very responsive and friendly to work with. We would most definitely rent here again.

The Perfect Cabin

Our family of four has stayed here for two summers. It is a great little cabin in a beautiful area. The dock to Crystal Lake is wonderful & the views are amazing. The location is perfect for day trips on M22. We love love it here!

No TV

In the past when we have rented this location, there was off-air antennae for a few TV stations. The posting listed TV as available so we were somewhat disappointed to find this was not accurate. I would suggest clarifying this so as not to falsely advertise. We did not expect it to have cable or WiFi so that was not the issue.
