Lake side house rentals in Crystal Lake

Such a great week getaway. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side when we stayed but it is such a beautiful stay. Hoping to come back sometime towards the end of summer or fall to see the leaves changing colors!

My wife and I had a few days off for a fall break. Dennis' place was a perfect spot. The drive there and the surrounding woods were vibrant with color. The place was comfortable, well-suited for a short or long stay, and was stocked with plenty to do. The short path to the lake is great, and the dock provides a lovely view. We spent hours just sitting on the dock chairs reading. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days. We took the short drive into Traverse City to go to Trattoria Stella, one of our very favorite restaurants. We also took a short hike out back to connect to the Mt Minnie trail and thoroughly enjoyed that hike. Being minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Franfort was a perfect location. Our last evening, we went 15 minutes to Peterson Beach and watched the sun set and stayed to watch all the stars emerge in the darkness. It was amazing! We didn't, but we could have built a fire there on the beach.. We hope to return. Thanks Dennis!

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

Had an amazing long weekend. Great inland lake. The house was perfect for our family. The host was super responsive and had a ton of great recommendations.

awesome place awesome host awesome time thank you

This cute, cozy, modern rustic cabin was and is a perfect place to get away with your significant other. 1 bedroom is just perfect. We just absolutely loved this cabin. We will go back again for sure! The couch is comfy and great place to cuddle up and watch movies. The decor is beautiful. One of my favorite things in the cabin was the bathroom light.. as weird as that sounds, the light is super cool! It has a night light. You can turn it orange or blue. Also it is a Bluetooth speaker!! Great sound, if you love listening to music while showering and getting ready! Every picture that was posted and the description of this cabin was spot on. We wish we could of stayed longer! Just a perfect weekend to reset! Thank you James!

This was our second stay with Terry & we will definitely be back! He always goes above & beyond to make sure we have everything we need & is very communicative. Can’t recommend enough!

The house was very clean and very well stocked. You have everything you need and more! The hot tub was delightful on a cold snowy weekend. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

A very cozy cabin with a beautiful view. The fall colors were amazing.

❤️ Definitely coming back if I have the opportunity. Used this as a get away for myself. While there are reviews on here where they did things- I literally just stayed in the whole time. So I shall speak about the home itself. Very warm and inviting. Plenty of space and locations for variety of seating and work space. Many different windows for viewing (though I will say that the kitchen and living do not have blinds). The dining room/king sized bedroom/room with hanging chair has amazing lake views. ❤️ Also! Neighbors are nice- which is a good thing.

Beautiful lake home. Everything is very nice & comfortable. We enjoyed the getaway very much. Loved looking at the peaceful lake. The updates are very tastefully done. Looks like a lot of time invested into every detail. It’s well stocked-lots of games too. Restaurants, stores, ice cream all within 5 miles. Highly recommend for R&R on a big lake. Thank you!

Excellent host, Michael & Kelly were so nice. Check in & check out was easy. The cabin was exactly as described in the listing. It is a great place for family and children. The lake is quiet and they have canoeing, kayaks as well as fishing. I recommend this resort for relaxing lakeside experiences. The shopping in Charlevoix, Petosky, Glen Arbor and Traverse City was better than Door Country. The beaches along the coastlines were also a must see.

This little cottage was great! The inside was so nice and cozy with beautiful surrounding outdoors.

This place is far more beautiful in person! I highly recommend it! Super clean, SO many activities to do, you really don’t need to bring much because they provide basically everything essential! The host is also amazing! Super nice! We will definitely be coming back!

What a great rental and what great hosts! My wife and I spent four nights at Laurie and Ralph's cabin outside Charlevoix and we didn't want to leave. Very highly recommend. Can't wait to come back again! The house itself is peaceful and comfortable and has everything a couple might need. Outside we sat down by the lake and saw the auroras and took advantage of their kayaks to go for a paddle. Laurie was very helpful and communicative, even sending us a photo of the driveway which is a bit hidden. Ralph even came over with an extra flashlight when the power briefly went out all over town. Charlevoix and the rest of the area was fantastic. Cute town with some great places to eat and just walk through the shops. From Boyne Falls to Petoskey, everything we wanted to do was within a quick and very scenic drive.

My husband and I took a few days for a much needed break. We quickly felt at home in this cute, clean and comfortable cottage. We loved the retro feel of “Vacation Lane,” and learned that the resort was established in the 1940’s. We especially loved the original sign over the entrance which simply takes you back in time! The view of the lake from the screened-in porch was the best on the block and Chris and Clara’s attention to detail and personal touches make you feel right at home. There were many things to do in the area, including the state park right on lake Michigan, sand dunes, a walk to the lighthouse, a nearby restaurant and pizza place, and a winery in Silver Lake only 30 minutes away. We definitely recommend Sandpiper Cottage!

Lovely home on Rose Lake. Very quiet and peaceful. Home has plenty of room for a family of 5 .(3 adults and 2 kids) The kiddos loves the hammock in the backyard by the water and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. A definite add to our favorites list. Will stay again and recommend to our other family when they stay up here.

My family and I really enjoyed Brian’s place. There was plenty of room for all our ski gear and only 3 mins to the mountain. Having access to the Schuss hot tub was a bonus. There are plenty of board games available and the internet worked well. This has been one of our favorite Airbnbs during the ski season.

You will instantly fall in love with the quiet lakefront beauty and the breath-taking and welcoming home just 60 or so feet from the water. The main floor of the house is close to lake level making the drama of nature around you compelling and inspiring. The waterfront and waves lapping the stone and sand shore are visible from almost all the rooms of the house, and it's a short walk to River Street in Elk Rapids. Traverse Magazine readers voted River Street "in the top 10 of ‘Sweet Small-Town Main Streets in Northern Michigan.'” The pace of life is calming in this lovely town and in this beautiful home. Owner Bernadette and property manager Sam make you feel perfectly at home. Response time to messages is instant, polite, and friendly. There's so much enjoyment to be had for all ages here.

We loved this get away spot. We are familiar with the area and this is very well located to get to area restaurants and other points of interest. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views. We will be back!!

My family with a newborn, 2 year old, and 8 year old, made a last minute booking with Nancy and she still went out of her way to make our stay special. The place was clean and smell free. All of the tools needed to cook were present. We had enough towels and linen and extras if needed. We made use of the washer and drier and had no issues. Although we visited in the winter, I can see why Nancy's place is a desirable location for summer visitors. We loved having a Family Fare across the street and a Walmart and a local butcher within a 3 minute drive. We also loved the public playground at the school 5 minutes away and hiking at Marl lake trail 20 minutes away. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely stay with Nancy again! Thank you for everything!!

My family and I were very happy with the condo. Very clean and well maintained. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cooking dishes. Lots of room for us and very comfortable. The view on the deck was very nice with views of the #1 fairway. Beautiful golf course. The condo was a close drive to downtown.

Mardi was a wonderful host! Her place was comfortable and had everything you would ever need. Would definitely stay at Mardi’s place again and would definitely recommend.

absolutely one of the best hosts we have ever dealt with. the house was amazing, location was great and it suited our every need. but I can't say enough about how great the management company handled communication and any little issue we had. when heading up to the Boyne area we will definitely choose to stay with them again. highly recommend!
