It is small and a bit rustic but also provides nice privacy and plenty of sleeping for 6. ##### Elizabeth W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Tameron H. 3 Oct 2023 #### Perfect for two! Main house is small but perfect for 2 people. Love the wood on the inside. A very cabin feel. The second cabin has a strong odor to it. Fine if the windows were open but once closed it got very strong. ##### Tameron H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Mary M. 7 Aug 2022 #### Good house! The main cottage is exactly as pictured. Clean. Compact. Easy access to Crystal Lake with beautiful view of water. Most of what you need is in the kitchen, except for a freezer. What is not clear from the description is that the building with the deck, just behind to the left as you face the cottage, is where the 2d bedroom and 2d bathroom are (with full-size bunkbed). There is also a chest freezer in 2d building. Nice fire pit. Home is good location to Sleeping Dunes, various beaches. Located between Beulah and Frankfurt. ##### Mary M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amber 12 Jul 2024 Liked: Amenities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This property would have been the perfect lake getaway I was intending it to be if it hadn’t been for the cockroaches, mold, and other hazards found in and around the home. It was very clear that both units of the rental had not been cleaned from the cockroach infestation we found, cobwebs galore in the pantry cabinet and underneath all the kitchen cabinets, mold in the deep freezer (that was left unplugged and therefor made the whole unit smell like mold) in the unit where my children would have been sleeping, trash left in the bin underneath the kitchen sink, rotted wood to the deck entrance of the secondary unit, etc. We were relocated to a thankfully clean home and did not get settled in until midnight with my small children. Our relocation was to a home not on the lake, no lake view, no dock for our boat, and no lake access for my kids to go swimming. This was not the trip I intended. ##### Amber Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Duane S. 30 Aug 2022 #### Nice getaway We loved the area. The 2 cabins are small and are not shown in the pictures/description that there are 2 separate cabins with one bedroom in each. Probably would add that especially for families with young children. Used the fire pit every night. ##### Duane S. ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### 4 night stay The lake is excellent the property it’s very nice but the dock is a safety hazard. Also there should be a better description of the refrigerator. We really enjoyed our stay love the lake and had a good time just need to fix the dock. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Leslie A. 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ffa7a43-6574-4b88-bd86-6b61f64a1b28-1755273033495.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/96794475-4397-4977-b224-69e0de93f29b-1755273033710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ee5a1f64-80c3-4471-afea-1d10f060e386-1755273033888.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ab93333-faaa-4486-9583-cd1215b600e9-1755273033633.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Leslie A.
