Paul's place at Beautiful Crystal Lake was everything I hoped for. Not only was the cottage perfect, it was in a great location on the lake. I spent summers at Crystal Lake growing up and this was the perfect place to visit this beautiful place again! Paul was very responsive and helpful when I had a few questions. There was a magnetic on the fridge with info about pontoon boat rentals and I cannot say enough great things about this company! Thank you for a wonderful stay Paul! I would love to come back!

This was our second stay and we couldn’t wait to come back! Such a beautiful home that’s so comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed to cook meals, spread out and relax and enjoy the views. The beds and linens and very nice and comfortable. We love the split layout with the primary bedroom upstairs and two nice bedrooms and a second living room downstairs. We love this location and will definitely return again! The host is very responsive and even accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was delayed.

Beautiful home right on the beach. We had a great time celebrating my wifes 40th birthday with a couple of friends. The house was cozy and beds were comfortable. Our favorite part was the indoor fireplace. It added such a warm and cheery ambiance. Communication was great and check in was easy. Not a lot of shops were open during our stay but that didnt stop us from having a great time and feeling like we had the whole town to ourselves. We would love to come back to enjoy the warmer months sometime in the future! Thank you for being a great host!

Lakefront Lodging! Stay, Play & Explore the county

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews9 months ago

My family and I loved our stay with Dan and Rachel, and definitely will be back. We had a girls trip with my aunt who was visiting from the UK, and had the best time. The property is so calm and peaceful, the perfect summer getaway. Our room was clean and spacious, and had a great view of the lake. Dan and Rachel were so kind and accommodating in all of our interactions. It was wonderful to be greeted by Dunes, the family dog on the property, as we enjoyed our complimentary breakfast on the patio outside our room. Visiting the chickens and buying their fresh eggs was an unexpected bonus. Our stay exceeded our expectations, and we are so happy to have found such a gem of a vacation place!
