We really liked this cottage. It was clean and comfortable. Had all the items you would need for cooking, spending time in the water or enjoying the incredible view of Crystal Lake. Simple accommodations and we would rent again.

Lovely cottage, we loved being right on Crystal Lake. Good location for Sleeping Bear and all the beautiful surrounding lakes and beaches. We didn’t realize there was no A/C and being from TN didn’t even think about it. Our first night was a little warm but then thankfully it cooled off. There are lots of fans and glass doors to open but the road noise is pretty loud until late evening. We did have a little visitor from a raccoon so make sure everything is latched well!

Can’t begin to say enough good things about the property. The property has been renovated and is very tastefully decorated. The kitchen is fully stocked. We loved the dock and the shed to store our bikes was an added bonus. Loved enjoying the morning on the deck. Crystal Lake is incredible!!!

Only wish that there was an air conditioner because when we arrived it was so hot in the cottage but we did open the doors & windows to get a breeze from the lake! Thank you! a br
