Our cabin was cozy and the property had a lovely private beach with beautiful sunset views. The resort is located near to biking, hiking, golf courses and towns for shopping and restaurants. It was a great find.

Nice place to relax, read and get some sun while you’re lounging on the private beach-all by the Crystal Lake! Bring your own food, paper cups, plates and drink. There’s no need to get into your car although restaurants are nearby.
