Very clean and cozy. The view was amazing, we saw the fall colors across the lake, a huge thunderstorm, and lots of stars on a clear night. The only negative is the small shower stall.

It's a beautiful property. In the host has everything you could possibly need. I would suggest getting a new mattress because you sink in the middle.

Such a beautiful location! Had the feeling of being in a tree house. Positioned on a ridge with a beautiful view of the lake. The house was well equipped with everything needed and was comfortable and clean. A great location for day trips to explore the area. Loved it! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place with beautiful view of Crystal Lake. Lots of great places to experience in the area and we will definitely be returning in the future. When you arrive you will want to pay attention to their directions. You want to turn to the left when you pass the first house and follow the gravel lane all the way to the end and turn left again. We arrived after dark and I missed the first left turn as I thought it was a driveway so pay close attention.

Fabulous property! The hosts make very clever use of a small space. The windows are spectacular and they were CLEAN which was so appreciated. I loved all the thoughtful touches throughout the home. You can tell when a host cares about your comfort level and they've thought of everything. The view from the couch is so beautiful. The deck space is wonderful as well and there's blankets specifically for use outside - so thoughtful! The home is perfect for 2 people and I would absolutely stay here again. If you're considering this property just book it!

Beautiful location with gorgeous lake views. Private yet close enough to everything you need. The communication with the host and management team were wonderful and the place was as cute and accommodating as the pictures show. We had a great stay, enjoyed all of the ambiance (battery operated candles) and fully stocked house with very comfortable bed and furniture.

The adorable, renovated cottage was well-stocked, clean, and in a great location. Communications with Julia were excellent. The only problem was the size of the shower, which was a bit cramped.

Beautiful secluded property relaxing and private. Would recommend adding laundry on first floor and coming up with a solution for the lack of closet space which is totally inadequate. Decorated nicely but too many pillows and no place to put them except on floor. View was great too.

This really is a lovely hideaway for two. The property is hidden away in the woods on a hillside overlooking Crystal Lake. It feels very connected to nature with huge windows all around. Everything is labeled and there are instructions.It has a small but functional kitchen with a very small frig and freezer.The space on the deck is magical, lots of shade for use all day, beautiful in the evening too. It is easy to run to the local farm market for fresh fruit and vegetables. It is also close to beautiful nature walks and restaurants.

It’s amazing that a property can be so close to others and yet so private! The unit is tastefully decorated. Although the unit highlighted blinds, they are not room darkening, so if that matters, bring an eye mask. Beautiful stay.

We loved the views from all the windows! It rained while we were there, so the lake and woods still felt accessible because of them. Loved the decor and peaceful feel to this place. Beautiful scenic area! Host (Julia) reached out proactively to give clear directions to locating the hideaway, and with dining tips since our stay was just prior to Memorial Wknd season opening. So happy we found this place!

Weekend getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Crystal View Hideaway. This charming one - bedroom cottage was clean, cozy and the bed was so comfortable I had to ask the host where I could buy the same sheets. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. There is even a coffee/ tea bar for our morning coffee on the deck with a beautiful view of Crystal Lake. This cottage is an ideal spot for a great sunset retreat or a romantic weekend in a park like setting. We would definitely come back .

Exceptional Lakeview Cottage

Our stay at this cottage exceeded expectations. The property is beautifully situated in a quiet wooded area with a clear view of the lake, offering both privacy and natural beauty. The home was immaculately clean and well-equipped, with every amenity thoughtfully provided for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, the furnishings were high quality, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. Outdoor spaces were equally impressive—the scenery from the deck and evenings by the fire pit were highlights of our visit. Conveniently located close to downtown Beulah and Frankfort as well. Communication with the host was seamless, check-in was straightforward, and all details were clearly communicated. This property is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a peaceful and well-maintained vacation near the lake. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Place every day filled up with mosquitos when the air conditioner was on. The window sills, couch we sat on below the unit, bathroom, kitchen, all but the bedroom was mosquito haven. Windows were painted shut so the only way they got in was through the air conditioner above the couch. We went to bed at night and when arising in the morning the couch would be covered in the mosquitos. When you got up during the night for the bathroom the mosquitos covered the entire windows in the living room. This morning my husband made his coffee and when he poured it in his cup and added sugar/creamer, a mosquito landed in it before he could take a drink. The bathroom door was hard to open. The water did not stay warm long enough for a shower to be taken. Too many stairs to climb for our age of late sixty and early seventy. Was understanding it to be one level on the ground. No closet space to hang clothes. A regular hanger would not fit in it. Very little space for clothes to be put away. Very much enjoyed the seclusion of the home. Driveway a bit challenging though enjoyed the deer popping out to see you. Very much enjoyed the towns around the area. Very friendly people. Good restaurants in the areas. Very much enjoyed the freezer as we did charter fishing 3 times while there. The bed was comfortable, though too many pillows, one had to put them in the living room or by the kitchen table.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed our home's setting, bed, freezer and deer on the property, as well as the friendly local towns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the hot water temperature, midges (mosquito-like but don’t bite), and that your hangers didn’t fit in the bedroom armoires. We are also sorry that the outdoor stairs were overlooked during your booking process. We do always strive for total transparency, which is why our property listing accessibility section states that stairs are required to enter the cottage, including multiple photos of the exterior steps in the listing. We do our best to ensure guests have all the details upfront before booking, and are sorry it wasn’t noticed before you booked. We are always available via phone to address any concerns expeditiously—such as water temperature or pests—but unfortunately, we were never contacted during your week stay so that we could promptly assist you. We pride ourselves on our customer response time and satisfaction, and are sorry we didn’t have an opportunity to take care of this during your stay. We did immediately get the water heater fixed upon learning of the issue, and also had our HVAC and pest control companies come out to find the source of the issue and provide immediate resolution. We also apologize for the inconvenience of your hangers not fitting in our 2 armoires in the bedroom. Hopefully you were able to use the hangers provided, as well as the 8 drawers for your additional clothing. Again, thank you for your feedback. We are always trying to be proactive and forward thinking in how we can make our guest experience as enjoyable as possible.

Beautiful, very private property located above and across from the lake with relaxing views. The home has large windows that provided views from every direction. Located close to towns, beaches, trails, dining and Interlochen Performance Arts Theatre. If you are looking for a place to unwind and relax this, is it! We enjoyed watching the eagles that would stop by in the lakeside trees. Truely a destination recharge!
