Absolutely Perfect

Lovely weekend in the most glorious part of MI. Home was spacious and well-appointed in every way. View was spectacular and private beach was such a gift. First time renting after owning property in the area for 70+ years and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Crystal Blue Perfection!

We loved having our very own private beach for the week! Beautiful! The house was clean and cozy. We cooked most meals at home. We used the downstairs refrigerator for drinks which was very convenient! We rented a boat and enjoyed a day on the water skiing and tubing. We loved using the kayaks for a long boat ride along the shore. We made Many family memories around the kitchen table. We loved having coffee on the deck in the morning while watching the lake! Awesome stay!

Great Property! We had a blast. We had 7 of us: my husband and myself, our oldest and his wife and 2 children and another grown child of ours. This property fit us all perfectly. There is a road in front of the house and cars go very fast so this would not be ideal for kids age 3 - 12 probably. The water is so clear you can see down for 30 feet. Do be aware that this beach is ALL rocks so not ideal for little kids. We were told after 3-4 feet out it is all sand but we found that the sand starts (w/o rocks) after it is over all our heads like at 12 - 15 feet deep. There is sand in shallow but rocks everywhere on top of it so that was a bit of a bummer. But the lift for our boat was great to have. The fire pit is nice and they had 5 kayaks for our use and some bikes. The road was too busy to take our little ones for stroller walks which was also a bummer. Crystal Lake is a gorgeous lake! The house is in great shape. I will say there are 2 bedrooms upstairs that the carpet needs to be cleaned but the house was very clean upon arrival. There are a ton of beach towels to use which is very convenient. They also have many supplies for use such as hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper and such. They even had spices. My husband and son caught over 800 fish the week we were here! They had a ton of fun!!Overall a fantastic property worth checking out!

Crystal Lake Vacation

Accommodations were great! The lake is beautiful! The only downer was the weather. Typical Michigan weather… 2 weeks straight 90 degrees until we go on vacation! Then it turns to 60’s and rainy…

Quick getaway

We loved our stay at Crystal Blue Persuasion! The home was clean and fully stocked with needs for our two families. The private beachfront was the perfect place to unwind and play with kids big and small! Be sure to visit downtown Frankfort and test your physical abilities at Sleeping Bear Dunes while you are there. We loved it!!!
