Lux Home on Crystal Lake, Gourmet Kitchen, Hot Tub and Ski Crystal Mountain

🌅 Wake to Crystal Lake Serenity
Start your day with glass-calm water and soft morning light shimmering across Crystal Lake — the kind of peaceful start that only Northern Michigan can offer. The Nest combines luxurious comfort, thoughtful design, and unbeatable lake access for families, couples, and friends seeking an unforgettable Up North escape.

🏖️ 100 Feet of Waterfront Bliss
Set on 100 feet of private Crystal Lake frontage, spend summer afternoons paddling across the lake on one of the provided kayaks or paddleboards, or unwind by the fire pit as the sky turns pink over the water. In winter, soak in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars after a day of skiing at Crystal Mountain.

📍 Perfect Central Location
Centrally located to all that Northern Michigan has to offer — just minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes, M-22, Point Betsie Lighthouse, Frankfort, Beulah, Traverse City, Crystal Mountain, and more.

🍳 Chef’s Kitchen & Dining
The newly renovated chef’s kitchen was built for connection — featuring a large island, 36-inch stove, coffee/tea station, and panoramic lake views. A private chef is available year-round for gourmet dinners right at home. Share meals at the spacious dining table for 8, or sip coffee from the window seat as the morning sun reflects on the lake.

🔥 Cozy Living Spaces
The inviting living area encourages slow mornings and long conversations. Curl up by the electric fireplace, stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, or enjoy a game night as waves lap the shore. Every space is designed to make you feel right at home — modern, welcoming, and filled with light.

🛏️ Room for Everyone
The Nest sleeps up to 12 guests across four comfortable bedrooms:
• Primary Suite: King bed, ensuite bath, Smart TV, breathtaking lake views
• Bedroom 2: King bed, west-facing window with sunset views
• Bedroom 3: Queen bed, twin bunk beds with trundle, desk & loft play area
• Bedroom 4: Queen bed on main level, convenient to full bath
Three full bathrooms ensure comfort for all guests.

🌳 Outdoor Comforts
Enjoy every Michigan season outdoors with a hot tub, fire pit, BBQ grill, Adirondack chairs, double-chaise loungers, dock, and mooring ball (seasonal). Firewood, linens, coffee/tea, kayaks, and SUPs are all provided for your stay.

Everything was as stated in the description. Owners were great to deal with. Hot tub was a wonderful addition as well as kayaks, etc. Kitchen had all necessary items to prepare meals. Experience here was terrific with family of 6 adults and 3 grandchildren 11, 8 & 6. Water was wonderful to play/swim in and dock was great for the pontoon boat we rented.

Beautiful Views

The house is beautiful with a view of the lake from many rooms. My family enjoyed the hot tub and the kayaks. Big kitchen and gathering space. We enjoyed our time there. There isn’t a consistent sandy beach. Storms take the sand away. That might not concern you if you don’t have little kids. It’s rocky, so make sure to bring your water shoes. Any concerns I had were addressed immediately and I really appreciated that.

The interior was exquisitely done (10/10). Loves all the little details that made it feel like a home, not just a rental. Landscaping was unfortunately incomplete and overgrown with weeds. As I understand the local weather has limited getting this done, but I believe this is at least the second summer it has been available to rent.

Absolutely Perfect

I can't say enough how wonderful this property is. It includes a beautiful, new, well-stocked kitchen, clean & beautifully decorated rooms, and basically anything you could need for a fun vacation. The views are breathtaking, and falling asleep to the relaxing sound of the waves was amazing. Highly recommend!!!

Everything and more

This place is a gem. I have spent my summers in this area since I was a small boy, but I had never stayed on the north shore of Crystal. Beautifull house and property with sunsets as a bonus. We had an issue with the heater as the days started to get colder and the management was on top things and dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently. Great living space for our family of 5. The views on the lake changed throughout the day - it was a great place to watch the season change. We loved it!

Wonderful family vacation

We were right on Crystal Lake, with views of the water from practically every room. Everyone in our group found their rooms to be quite comfortable. Communication with the hosts was always prompt and the house was well supplied with maintenance materials to keep everything in order. To ice the cake, we had the pleasant surprise of finding a hot tub installed on the property midweek, just as the weather was showing that early September nip. All in all, a great week in a great area.

Lakeside Getaway

We stayed one week. We enjoyed the outdoors everyday. The water was wonderful, whether it was Crystal Lake or Lake Michigan. The housing accommodations were perfect for our group. We really enjoyed spending time on the lake during the day and sitting around the campfire at night. We had a great time, thanks!
