Beautiful views and cozy accomodations

This was our second stay and it was wonderful as always. The cottage was cozy and had everything we needed. The views from the upper and lower decks are amazing. The water was warm and crystal clear. We had a great time fishing off the dock and swimming off the diving dock. The cottage is only about 20 minutes to Silver Lake sand dunes, Little Sable Point, and Pentwater. Lots to do! Thanks again and we hope to be back next year!

Simple Summer Pleasures

Our family enjoyed staying on Crystal Lake for a week in July. The sandy entry, swimming raft and dock were nice ways to be on the lake, not to mention the kayak. The deck overlooking the lake has a picnic table and a good grill; the outdoor folding chairs provided were that comfortable though. Inside the cottage is cozy and clean. All four of us were able to read using the overheard cam lights. Better lighting for reading would have been nice. We were able to cook dinners for four well enough, though more serving pieces would have helped. The location is so wonderful! We had a full week of trips to Lake Michigan, blueberry picking, dune riding, kayaking and hiking at Ludington Park. Hansen grocery in Hart has great variety and is only 7 minutes away. Communication with Ardith was great and we felt welcomed. A fun and memorable vacation.

Family Memories

Cosy, rustic property on Crystal Lake. We had a great stay! The lake was clear all around the dock. Boys enjoyed the floating dock and warm water compared to lake Michigan. We had perfect weather for a week in July. So, having no AC wasn't an issue. The fish were biting all week as well. We made due with what was there for the 4 of us. Updating on steps to boat dock would be a nice addition and a rail out the back steps. We were very disappointed in the broken paddle boat and no sail for sailboat for my boys to use all week. Also, there were not futons in cottage like listing said and both bunk bed mattresses need replaced- too thin. Boys were uncomfortable all week. Coffee pot needs replaced. Thank goodness there was a Keurig there as well. I did have to use my own hotspot for wifi. Overall, great little gem that just needs a few updates.

Family Fun on Crystal Lake

We had a great time at the cottage! It was the perfect size for our family of 5. The lake was clear and clean. We loved the little sandy beach and the swimming dock out in the water. We spent a lot of time swimming in the lake and enjoying peace and quiet on the upper deck overlooking the lake. The views from inside the cottage are all water and it's fantastic. The cottage had everything we needed and the price was great. Thank you Ardith for your great communication as well! We can't wait to return in the future!

Wonderful week

We had a wonderful week on Crystal Lake. The location was perfect - 15 min from just about anything. The cottage was clean and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. There were only 3 chairs at the table and four of us but it worked okay. The only downside was the weather was chilly and the location of the cottage on the lake doesn’t allow for much sun - there are a lot of trees. The walk from the cottage to the beach is really steep too. Our kids loved the floating dock and the water was lovely. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing week!

We had a great week relaxing at the cottage. The lake was quiet and the neighbors were all super friendly. We enjoyed going into Hart and Shelby for groceries, meals, and ice cream treats. We also took daily walks on the private road which was great. The cottage had everything we needed from fishing poles to games to kitchen supplies. Aside from the bunk bed in the basement, the furniture was comfy. Our biggest issue was the beach. It was quite difficult to get down the sloping yard as roots have torn it up. The tree coverage keeps the deck and beach area mostly shady which was a bummer since it was such cool weather. Once you are out on the dock or raft it’s incredibly peaceful and sunny but getting to and from is tricky especially if you have any mobility issues like my 79 year-old dad. We had a nice week relaxing and taking time out of our busy lives. Thanks!!

Great location for visiting family in Shelby

We stayed here while visiting family in Shelby and it was a perfect location. The access to Crystal lake was great and the paddle boat and kayak was a bonus! The only downside were the spiders at the property, but they were harmless and expected in a wooded area. We will be back next time we visit!

We had an amazing week!

The cottage had everything we needed! We felt very comforable there. I wouldnt really say it slept 6 though because if we had 3 couples one couple would be broken up to one on a couch upstairs and one down stairs, and another couple would be in bunk beds. It was perfect for a couple, or a couple with kids!! It was excalty what we were looking for though! The water was nice, the upper and lower decks were very nice! Location was amazing! Close gas stations, grocery, ice cream, sand dunes! It was a little challenging getting to the water especially after a few drinks haha..but over all id definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends!! Thanks agian for sharing your cottage.

While the weather was not ideal the cottage was perfect. Clean and comfortable with wonderful view of the lake. For those with mobility issues getting to the dock and water proved a little challenging but being on the water was worth the effort.

Beautiful property. The house sits on the lake. The view is breathtaking. Caught fish on the banks. We were within a few miles of sand dunes. We had a fantastic time riding the dunes. There are other lakes within a few miles of the property. Beautiful apple farms and local produce. The fully equipped kitchen was awesome as we like to cook. If you want a relaxing vacation or getaway this is the place to come.

Perfect getaway

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this cottage. The weather was beautiful during our stay so not having AC in the cottage was not an issue at all. House was very comfortable. We had everything we needed. We loved the grill and we used it a lot. The lake was beautiful. We caught a lot of fish-bass, panfish and catfish. We enjoyed our fish fry. The location is very close to nearby Lake Michigan beaches and dunes. It was a wonderful experience indeed. We loved each day of our 7 day vacation. Thank you, Ardith.
