Cottage holiday rentals in Crystal Lake

Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

I went to Michigan to compete in the Ironman 70.3 in Frankfort and this place was perfect! It has plenty of beds/ sofa options and was big enough to host a family pasta dinner! Great location right in town in Beulah we could walk to restaurants and shops! And it ended up being only 15 minutes from the race which was great! Grocery stores were an easy 5 minute drive as well.

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

Cozy newly refinished right on the lake! Cute thoughtful touches. Luke is a great host. FYI there are about 10 cement steepish stairs down to the front door. The view was perfect.

beautiful cabin pleasant neighborhood easy check-in and check out. great host love the hot tub definitely a plus. will definitely rent from them again great people

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.

A True Slice of Heaven! We had such an incredible stay at Slice of Heaven! The property is absolutely beautiful — private, peaceful, and perfectly set up for a relaxing getaway. The main home was spotless and cozy, and the extra rental RV added such a fun and unique touch with extra space for our group. The views were stunning, especially from the private beach and dock. We loved having access to the kayaks and paddleboards — it made our time on the water even more memorable. The thoughtful amenities like robes, towels, water shoes, and more made it feel like a luxury retreat. Dan was very responsive and helpful, especially when we had a small issue with the RV’s tank system — he made sure we were taken care of quickly. The only thing I wish could have been better was the check-in and check-out times. It would’ve been great to have a bit more flexibility, as our check-in felt quite late and check-out came too soon. Still, that’s a small detail in an otherwise perfect stay.

Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

Booked Holly's place for a week to fish Lake MI - even though we were 35 minutes from the launch, we really liked the location and solitude. We loved this place and space - and the price was great. This is a wonderful place for anyone seeking peace and quiet and worked very well with us - thank you Holly!!!

We had a truly magical stay at Rob’s place in the woods. Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect escape. The house is just a short 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach.The house itself was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. While the walk up to the house involves a bit of a climb—which could be challenging for someone with bad knees—it didn’t bother us. The living room and bedrooms were spacious and relaxing, and we had no issues with the well water during our stay. The kitchen is in a separate building from the main living space, which took a little getting used to, but it was well-equipped for all our needs. One suggestion would be to upgrade the electric stove, which felt a bit outdated and at times posed some safety concerns. The electric grill also looks quite old and could use a deep clean, but it still worked well enough for us to grill all of our meals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled escape.

**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

I would absolutely recommend the wet nest to anybody. Tracey was an amazing host and always in contact with me on everything. the place was exactly like it was described and we had an incredible time. thank you, Tracey

very beautiful and peaceful place. the view of the lake. I wish it would of been a better weather weekend. would really love to take my dog swimming. very dog friendly place. would stay again. thank you again for an awesome weekend

My husband and I had a wonderful time relaxing at this lake house. It had everything needed for us to kick back, relax, and unplug. Our host was very responsive with every contact that we made! The only thing I would add to the house description is that there are a few pretty tall steps in the house, so someone with bad knees might want to consider that. Great place and well with the money!

Little Skip Cottage is perfectly located between Sutton Bay and Northport making it easy to enjoy what each area has to offer. Carolyn was quick to respond to our questions about the area and offered suggestions of hikes in the area. The cottage was welcoming and cozy and beautifully decorated. We were able to fix meals in the kitchen that was well stocked and loved all the little “extras” like a coffee bar, spices and condiments. We hope to return soon to one of our favorite places.

Elise was a wonderful host! We have loved visiting Frankfort every year, and usually camp nearby. This year, at 34wks pregnant, their home was the comfortable space needed for a quick weekend getaway. The home was located so perfectly in Frankfort, and was a short drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes. We could enjoy walks downtown and by Lake Michigan, but we’re never too far from the coziness of the home. The home was clean, well taken care of, and so cozy to stay in.

everything was great...beautiful lake with nice dock, has boat, kayaks and a dock that we waded out to..water was clear and could wade out barefoot..will stay again when opportunity arises.

Wow... Such a beautiful spot to wind down. Came for my husband's birthday weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better spot! Sarah was super sweet and helpful. House had ALL the amenities we needed too. We COOK on trips due to food sensitivities and the kitchen was very well equipped! House was spotless and very charming. Located on a beautiful large lake. We would certainly come back in a heartbeat!

We had a fantastic stay at this lakeside gem! The house was spotless, and the instructions for check-in were clear and easy to follow. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our visit. The game room provided hours of fun for our group, and the kayaks were a wonderful touch for exploring the lake. Saturday morning on the water was absolutely picture-perfect—calm, serene, and stunningly beautiful. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, fun, and peaceful retreat by the lake!

What a beautiful little lakefront cottage! We came to Higgins Lake for cross country skiing at CX Skiing Headquarters, 5 minutes from this cottage. Anita was very responsive and left little extras like wine and chocolates. We truly felt at home and the lake views were so beautiful. Thank you!

Mary is an amazing hostess whom is very kind, responsive, and drama-free. This house has AMAZING energy, an en-suite downstairs and another upstairs, while there is a kitchen/living room, deck, 100% private grounds, etc. The beautiful lake is literally just feet away, and this location has tons of shops, restaurants, fuel stations, etc., within walking distance, as well as very short driving distance. I highly recommend this home.

Great location and very respectable community with a lot of options for activities!
