This was absolutely perfect for a golf weekend at Crystal. There was room on the property to hang out outside, and inside there was plenty of room for 10 people to comfortably relax after a day of golf. Ed was great answering my questions leading up to the stay, and they had a minor issue after the previous guests checked out and had someone out to fix it that afternoon. Extremely responsive hosts, and the property was very well represented in the listing, no surprises. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for something conveniently located near Crystal for far less than onsite lodging.Cheers!

Crystal Lodge Evaluation

Overall, Crystal Lodge worked well for our five families; 14 adults all totaled. We were mostly from out of state. Our youngest children were college age. We have rented large houses for our family three of the last five years. The house obviously works better for more kids and fewer adults. Having both sides of your house was just the right amount of space downstairs. We were mostly gone during the days. We liked it’s isolated, rural location. It worked well for our local side trips once we became familiar with the roads. The walkers of the family especially liked the short walk through the woods for the longer trails at Crystal Mountain resort. Others liked being close to the river. We took advantage of the both kitchens for meals. The basic amenities were the right amount; except for a kettle for hot water. We found the square dinning plates too large; certainly not convenient for the dish washers. The table and chairs were just the right size and quantity. We found the lights over the kitchen counters annoying. They were too low hanging so we raised them. Then the type were too bright in the rest of the living room so kept them on dim which made them less effective.The downstairs bathrooms were small but fully sufficient and used as main bathroom even though it requires passing through the kitchen and dining rooms. Some of the doors in the house did not open or close easily; especially both downstairs bathrooms. Thank you for the fans in each room upstairs. Regards

Great location

This property was awesome, we rented both sides. The beds and bedrooms were just as described, kitchens were well stocked and appliances were very nice. It has a very large parking lot, we had 5 trucks there and had plenty more room to spare. The owner also had dry firewood and a nice fire pit that came in handy one night. Overall, I highly recommend this house.

Golf Weekend

We have 6 couples that have gotten together for 21 years for a golf weekend. We travel all over Northern Michigan and need a VRBO that hs a bedroom for each couple. This home met all of our needs. I think the best part was having two well-stocked kitchens. We also loved its convenience to Crystal Mountain and Arcadia Bluffs.

A great location for a family ski weekend. A very short drive (maybe 3 minutes) to the slopes, and a nice cozy cottage to come back to at the end of the day (or any time in between when the lift lines get too long). The cottage was well equipped and comfortable for our group of 7. We would love to visit in the summer to enjoy the outdoor area as well.
