We have stayed here twice now and each time was wonderful. The owners have thought of everything, and the house is stocked with everything you need for your getaway.
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bathrooms had tons of towels and we never had to make a toilet paper run! We really appreciated the size and layout of the cabin, and it was in a great location, close enough to downtown Frankfort and right next to Crystal Lake.
Our stay at South Shore Crystal Lake was a true winner. Location of property is ideal for Crystal Lake and Frankfort. Lobb Rd can get busy so watch your young ones and pets. Plenty of linens and towels along with dishes, glasses, and silverware. Clean and comfortable. Katie was available ASAP to answer any inquiries. With some very minor updates, this property would be 5 stars+. We would rent this property again.
This cottage on Crystal Lake was perfect! Comfortable and well stocked. The location is amazing and we loved having the fire pit and accessible beach/dock. My kidâs favorite thing was jumping off the dock at sunset! We are coming back next year and canât wait!
The house had absolutely everything we needed. So nice of owner to provide all the extras for our stay. Half way between Beulah and Frankfort where we spent most of our time. We love this area! It holds so many great memories.
The railing on the front deck was dangerously low. The kitchen sink had a leak that caused the floor to get wet when using, the previous renters must have had a dog because the screen door was damaged, the television in the bedroom did not have a controller. It looks like there are plenty of updates to the house and it looks like it will be very nice when it is finished. Knowing how difficult it is to get workers in the area especially this time of year, I believe the issues will be resolved as soon as possible. I would consider renting it again in the future.
The cottage is listed as pet friendly....but on Thursday when we arrived we noted several areas in the very small lawn that had poison ivy. We contacted Home Away and they said they couldn't do anything. We contacted the owner and he said he would have someone take a look at it and we never heard back from him on the matter.
Although the cottage was clean there were cobwebs in the bathroom and living area and stains on the area rugs and on the furniture. It seemed a little run down and unkept, missing light bulbs, rotting wooden barrel on the front deck with weeds growing. We noted that the crawl space door under the cottage was open and wondered how easily it would be for an animal to get in?? .
This cottage is not on the lake, which we knew when we booked...... you can reach the dock area by walking through the lawn area, down the wooden steps, through someone's backyard and across the road to get to it. We didn't take that route because of the poison ivy. We also had to take our little dog for walks to do her business instead of taking her out in the yard because of the poison ivy.
We have stayed in many VRBO's and this was our least favorite. You should pass on this one if you have kids who want to play in the lawn or want to be directly on the water.
It was a short drive to Frankfort and the area sites and the people were friendly.... except for the woman who was walking across the road as I walked our dog.....she took one look at me and said to the man that was with her "Don't talk to her Stan." Yeeesh!!!!
This house was perfect for our big family to stay in. It was big enough for our five kids to all have some space. It was clean and open and we enjoyed playing some of the board games when it rained. The yard was a little smaller than we expected and was located at an intersection that made us a little nervous to let the kids play in the yard. The swimming dock wasnât quite what we expected either and ended up accessing the lake in the boat launch area instead.
Well maintained vacation property and super close to Crystal Lake/Frankfort! Katie was great at answering any questions we had. Home was well appointed and cozy.
We loved our first stay at Crystal Lake! The house worked perfectly for us and is beautifully updated. Perfect distance to the lake and town of Frankfort. Katie, the owner, was so easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!
We had everything we needed from the kitchen to the beach just down the street. We enjoyed blocks along crystal lake in the morning. Great communication from our host!
The house was very pleasant and had all the amenities and supplies expected. It is just up the hill from the lake. A short 2 minute walk will bring you to either the dock or to the public boat access. We preferred taking the dogs and swimming at the boat access. It was not busy and very broad with lots of shallow water. The house is in a good location near Frankfort and Beulah, and we took many long walks down the quiet roads by the lake. The owners were very helpful and easy to work with. TV with streaming access and good WiFi was a plus.
The cottage had everything we needed. Access is just adequate but there are plenty of public beaches
The cottage is clean and roomy. I woukd suggest families go to Elberta, frankfort for beach. Beulah has publc beach n Crystal Lake. Many more beaches in Sleeping Bear National Sea shore. For just a swim cottage access is okay. Owner responsive to questions.
House is nice and open. We were attending a wedding and all had plenty of room to get ready without being in each otherâs way. Nice deck on back was a great gathering place for some family members between wedding and reception.
Very Clean and be ready to step into 1980.Beautiful wooded setting , just 1 street from the lake.
Beds, on the softer side. 1 single bed Bathrooms good. Plenty towels. Kitchen , good. Living space inside is good for 10. Outside space a deck , not good for children . 1 TV , internet. Parking 3 cars easily.
Owner responds to broken microwave was instant! We had a great stay!!!
