We enjoyed Northern Michigan but would not book this property for future visits. We were disappointed in the kitchen-the shape and cleanliness of appliances and the equipment. We found the remote control for the TV under the couch and it was taped together and a challenge to utilize. Underneath the upholstered furniture and underneath the cushions was unclean. We had to wash the throws on the couch as they had dried food on them.

Lakeside Vacation
Great location right on the water at Crystal Lake and close to Frankfort and Lake Michigan. Cottage is very cozy, clean, and comfortable. Lakeside deck with ping pong table and permanent picnic table with shade are bonuses. We loved it!

Wonderful week!
We rented this cottage to gather our two sons, their wives & two grandchildren together. We all live in different states, so this time together is precious! This is such a lovely setting with so much to do together! Being right on the water with small beach was great with our 6 year old grandson. Our kids & grands loved the lily pad, especially the day it was so windy! And the last couple of days we discovered the ping pong table under the tarp! Not much fishing available off the dock, but my husband took a kayak out to deep water & caught a few. So he took the 6 yr old down to the public beach by Beulah & fished a bit of the dock platform. The 12 yr old enjoyed swimming laps as well as most adults in the deeper water and everyone enjoyed all there was to do! The reason for the 4 star in cleanliness was the grill needed cleaning, but other than that the cottage itself was excellently cleaned. We would definitely rent here again!

Absolutely amazing stay!
My family and I loved getting to spend some time Up North at Jon’s property while our own cottage was undergoing repairs. Beautiful location right on the water—we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you so much!
