Crystal Lake Waterfront, Central AC, Private Dock, Kayaks, Paddleboards

Enjoy gorgeous Crystal Lake from this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom waterfront home. Three of the four bedrooms and the living room have super views of gin clear Crystal Lake. Recent remodel includes new Trex deck, highly efficient natural gas central heat and AC, high speed Wi-fi, new den on the lake, new driveway and smart HD TVs. Please note, the smart HD TVs stream your Netflix, Amazon etc but we discontinued satellite TV.
House comes with 2 kayaks and 2 stand up paddleboards.
Lake level, queen bedroom on the lake, queen bedroom off the lake, den on the lake with 5 twin beds (bunk bed, trundle bed and 2 twins), and the upstairs bedroom on the lake has a queen bed and second level deck on the water.

King in the master second floor, 2 queens in 2 bedrooms at lake level, 5 twins in the loft, plus a queen sleeper sofa.

Located just 7 minutes from the historic Betsie Lighthouse, 10 minutes from the beautiful Lake Michigan Beach in Frankfort and 10 minutes from downtown Beulah, 25 miles south of Sleeping Bear Dunes.

New circular driveway offers parking for 5 cars, or a trailer and 4 cars. I'll respond to inquiries right away unless I'm in the air or skating on the ice.

Wonderful property
The property is a real marvel, located right in front of crystal lake with breath taking view. The house is clean, cozy and can easily accommodate a big family or couple of families. The host Pete - is very resourceful and kind, eager to help and accomodate. Check in and out was very easy. This property is highly recommended. I’ll certainly visit this place

Lovely lake house and views!
This beautiful house is right on Crystal Lake with fantastic views from most of the house and from the beautiful deck. We really appreciated the well-appointed, immaculately clean and comfortable home. We appreciated Peter's hospitality, checking with us to ensure we had everything we needed (which we did)! We would definitely recommend this for a lakeside get away!

Disappointing experience!
Upon check-in, we noticed the house was unkept & extremely dirty. The home carried a strong musty/mildew odor & felt damp. We immediately noticed mouse droppings on the floor, cabinets, as well as the drawers that contained silverware and utensils. The windows & slider doors were filthy & were littered with spiderwebs, dirt, & dead bugs. Both of the slider doors facing the lake would not lock, which created a safety concern. Both the upper & lower decks were covered in spiderwebs and hadn't been cleaned for some time. This made enjoying a beautiful view a bit challenging especially when dodging deck spiders. Two of the beds contained dirty linens, hair, and were not fresh. Later in the week we noticed multiple cockroaches in the lower bedroom and dresser. The overall condition of the home and property was well short of our expectations. We immediately reached out to Peter and expressed our concerns. Rather than disrupting our stay, we agreed to address our concerns prior to check-out. On two occasions, Peter entered the house without our consent which was very concerning and a clear violation of VRBO's policy. Upon check out we reached out to Peter to mitigate the issues & come to a compromise. He quickly became agitated and either deflected or would not acknowledge the issues we identified & documented during our stay. Peter's attitude towards our complaints lacked empathy & he became combative. As long time VRBO renters we have never experienced such a disappointing stay.
