Serene and perfect for two families vacationing together, make this gorgeous retreat your home away from home while in the beautiful hills of Thompsonville. This private oasis is located in a terrific location just a short drive away from all of the action. Hit the slopes just a few minutes away at Crystal Mountain which has great runs for all experience levels. For the warmer times of the year, take a stroll through the Michigan Legacy Art Park just down the street to view beautiful pieces of art alongside a trail going through the forest. Rent canoes and float on the river, then head to the nearby Iron Fish Distillery for a refreshing drink. If you bring the little ones along, they will love escaping the heat of summer at Park at Water's Edge which boasts water features and fountains. If golf is your game, there are some top golf courses just minutes away, so book a tee time and enjoy a round of 18! Catch some spectacular live entertainment at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. And for a bit of adventure, book a fishing charter and try your luck at catching a big one!
The hardwood floors, updated appliances, tasteful decor, and full kitchen complete with an island make cooking for the group fun and easy. Between meals, make your way to the fully carpeted lower level, complete with multi-person seating and a new 65' TV for your viewing pleasure. The lower level's electric fireplace makes it a cozy, comfortable option for the kids. Speaking of kids, they will adore the nook there, which includes a little table, games, and books to read. Featuring two of the home's bedrooms and its own bathroom, they may not want to leave! Adults have plenty to appreciate down there too, however. The office area is perfect for catching up on remote work and a laundry room right next to it is an added convenience you're sure to love.
The fully furnished back deck is a perfect place to enjoy a meal or glass of wine while visiting with everyone. Head inside and sit next to the fireplace as everyone gets ready to settle down for the night and put a favorite movie on the TV to end the night together. The renovated bathroom on the upper level and the one downstairs ensure everyone will get the privacy they desire. Don't forget to stop by the hot tub in the Crystal Spa & Fitness Center at Crystal Mountain Resort!

Beautiful home, you won't be disappointed!
Well equipped, clean and beautiful home (more like 2 homes!) in quiet neighborhood. Just around the block from Crystal Mountain Resort. One of the better VRBO homes we've stayed in. The place has everything you need and more. Comfortable beds, a large deck with plenty of seating, and a second home downstairs! Kitchen has everything (and I mean EVERYTHING!) you need. The one thing I will note is that access to the river itself is not really possible from the property. Other than that. this place is all it claims to be!

Great Ski Weekend
We really enjoyed our stay. We had two families of four people. Lots of room to spread out. Kitchen was well stocked. The location was great for quick access to Crystal. We will book again.
