About this property

Sandy Beach Lakefront Near Crystal Mountain with Kayaks and Pedal Boat

  • We never charge host fees, cleaning fees, pet fees (up to 2 dogs), or extra guest fees.

    This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home was built in 2004 and offers approximately 2,000 sq ft of comfortable living space. The interior features maple hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, tongue-and-groove pine, and relaxed cottage style décor.

    The layout was designed with families in mind, offering separate spaces for adults and children so everyone can enjoy time together without feeling crowded.

    THE HOME
    The great room includes an HD TV w/ Roku, a DVD player, and a DVD library, making it a comfortable gathering space for movie nights and downtime after a day outdoors.

    One of the bunk bedrooms features a game table, board games, an HD TV with Roku and a PlayStation 2 with games. This space is ideal for kids and teens and keeps entertainment contained to a family-friendly area.

    THE LAKE AND BEACH
    The Beach House sits on all sports Upper Herring Lake and offers 80 feet of private sandy beach frontage, located just 40 feet from the back deck. This is a rare setup that allows easy access to the water without stairs or long walks.

    Guests often enjoy swimming, relaxing on the shore, and watching wildlife — including the occasional bald eagle that nests nearby.
