Spacious, remodeled, family friendly lakefront home.
This lakefront home, built in 1937, has all the quant character of its time, yet has been newly renovated to give you all the modern day amenities to make you feel at rest and ease during your stay! This home sits on the west shore of Crystal Lake and provides plenty of room for you and your family and gorgeous views of the lake. The open floor plan provides room for everyone with multiple sitting areas. While the inside charm is comfortable and pleasing, the outside deck and sitting area is where you will find the breeze of the lake and the sound of the water for a truly relaxing time. So whether you are having a bonfire in the pit or taking one of the kayaks out on the water we know you will fall in love with this place like we did! A golf cart is available at an additional cost for sunset cruises and a quick run to the ice cream shop. There is parking for 4 cars.
We had an amazing vacation with the kids and grandkids. It's a perfect house with a great lake for the young ones..plenty of shallow water to enjoy! The house was great and the owners very responsive to any needs. Highly recommend!
We really love the location of this cottage. The deck out back, the bonfire area and the sandy bottom in the lake are great. Great outdoor toys and outdoor kitchen. Inside has a nice kitchen, dining and living room spaces along with plenty of bedrooms for all. Host was great. We had a mix up on our arrival date he was very generous in making it up to us. Hoping we can stay again next summer.
Nice property but not the best communication from the owner. 8 out of 10
I surprised my wife with this rental for her birthday. This property was actually owned for 25 years by my wife's family before they sold it in 2008. The cottage had some nice upgrades, like the kitchen and adding AC upstairs, since my in-laws owned it. It did retain much of the same charm including some furniture that my mother-in-law left, which I thought was pretty cool. However, the upstairs shower was the exact stall that we used to have and probably could use an upgrade. I'm pretty sure it's the same because the door would "stick" in the same way. Not a huge deal as the shower still did work. But there were 2 main issues in this trip. First, when we went to use the Keurig, we found that it was dirty and it looked as though the filter had not been changed in a very long time (if ever). Secondly, the listing said that a paddleboat was included but there was nothing in the lift. I reached out to the owner the same day for both of these issues. I also sent another message asking about renting the golf cart in the garage. The next day I got a response and was told the paddleboat was out for repair. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time as we were looking forward to using it. They did apologize for the Keurig coffee maker being dirty and said they needed to do a better job in the future. They never responded to the golf cart message. Since we didn't have the paddleboat, it would have been nice to have use of the golf cart for something more to do. Rating 8 of 10
