Covering just under 10,000 acres, it’s the ninth largest inland lake in the state and amongst the cleanest lakes in the United States boasting crystal clear blue waters. Crystal Lake and the surrounding townships are beloved by those who love Michigan’s raw and natural beauty and the rurality of Northern Michigan. On sunny days, the turquoise hues of the lake rival that of the Caribbean. You’ll discover endless opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, tubing and beyond. There’s nothing more refreshing than a dip in Crystal Lake on a hot summer afternoon. As if the lake itself weren’t enough, the surrounding townships are incredibly charming. Grab ice cream in the tiny town of Beulah, venture to the Lake Michigan shoreline in Frankfort, or make the 25-mile jaunt to Traverse City. . ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,496 square feet ## Similar properties ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98560000/98554300/98554245/b76ff5ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Michigan Retreat w/ Deck & Gas Grill!

Crystal Lake is truly beautiful, and this property was a great accommodation for our group of 9\. The home was very clean, well-stocked and comfortable. Having two separate living rooms was a big plus for our large family, and the huge outdoor covered deck (with hot tub and fire pit) was a big hit with everyone…. In fact, we did most of our evening meals on that deck. Our adult kids loved the property’s canoes & kayaks, especially since the water was still a bit too cold for swimming. And the fishing was decent…. We caught enough big smallmouth bass for two meals. Unlike many other rentals, this property offers lots of privacy, and also has lots of room for parking if you are coming with multiple vehicles. ##### Tom W.

Very easy to work with and views we’re stunning we really enjoyed most of our Time out on the deck. The main house had a very comfortable master and 2 additional rooms that were good for kids as they were bunk beds and 2 twins. The guest house has 1 queen and 1 king and a bathroom. It was a pleasant stay and we’d love to comeback sometime. ##### Ania B.
