Family Time

We had an amazing time at this property! It was such a beautiful house and had the perfect amount of space for our entire family of 14. Everyone had a bed and there were enough bathrooms! We loved the games and that there were games on hand as well. We traveled out to the beaches and Sleeping Bear Dunes and then came back and really enjoyed the deck! The hosts were amazing at communication before we came and while we there. Would be more than happy to come back!
You can order what you love for home!

Beautiful, spacious home

A group of my family and friends stayed at this beautiful spacious home for a ski weekend at Crystal Mountain. This home has everything that you need. Lots of space for cooking, socializing and relaxing. Gorgeous views of Crystal Lake.The host was great to communicate with and very responsive. Four-wheel-drive vehicle is a must to access this home in the winter.

A great place for a family get together

Beautiful views of Crystal Lake. Very large nice home with plenty of room for 16 people (Eight adults and eight children. The owners were very accommodating and sent us a new coffee pot and fondue pot. The place was VERY clean and the huge kitchen was perfect for us foodies, as we love to cook all our own meals.
