Lots of beds. Nice setup that’s relatively close to the mountain, a quick drive for most. Checkout time could be improved. Overall, a solid experience!
Group of friends in town for a fishing charter. Was the perfect house for a large group, so we could all be together. Would be great for a group skiing!
We absolutely loved the space! Great for big groups/multiple families/kids. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed use of the fire pit, the bbq grill and walking the property/mushroom hunting. Check-in was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The hosts were so easy to communicate with. The cabin has plenty of comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great locations and clean. We will be back!
The property was exactly what we were looking for! The price was really reasonable when split between families. The house is adorable and clean. The location was perfect and we were able to bop up to Traverse City and enjoy wineries. The host was very helpful and made our stay easy and fun! The Hank you!
This property was awesome, we rented both sides. The beds and bedrooms were just as described, kitchens were well stocked and appliances were very nice. It has a very large parking lot, we had 5 trucks there and had plenty more room to spare. The owner also had dry firewood and a nice fire pit that came in handy one night. Overall, I highly recommend this house.
A great location for a family ski weekend. A very short drive (maybe 3 minutes) to the slopes, and a nice cozy cottage to come back to at the end of the day (or any time in between when the lift lines get too long). The cottage was well equipped and comfortable for our group of 7. We would love to visit in the summer to enjoy the outdoor area as well.
This was absolutely perfect for a golf weekend at Crystal. There was room on the property to hang out outside, and inside there was plenty of room for 10 people to comfortably relax after a day of golf. Ed was great answering my questions leading up to the stay, and they had a minor issue after the previous guests checked out and had someone out to fix it that afternoon. Extremely responsive hosts, and the property was very well represented in the listing, no surprises. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for something conveniently located near Crystal for far less than onsite lodging.Cheers!
We have 6 couples that have gotten together for 21 years for a golf weekend. We travel all over Northern Michigan and need a VRBO that hs a bedroom for each couple. This home met all of our needs. I think the best part was having two well-stocked kitchens. We also loved its convenience to Crystal Mountain and Arcadia Bluffs.
Plenty of comfortable space inside, cozy and homey. Great outdoor bon-fire space and both propane & charcoal grills. Loved the propane fireplaces, sectional sofas, island/bar space and extra bathrooms! We had 8 adults and 5 kids. There was enough space to spread out and have separate areas when needed, but great gathering spots too! Loved it!
This is our second year celebrating the holidays with family and we couldn’t be more pleased. It’s so comfortable and inviting. With our large group ranging in ages 8-78 it’s perfect with the two living areas (we rent both sides), two kitchens and plenty of seating. Comfortable beds and pillows along with extra blankets for snuggling with. We look forward to more get togethers here!! It’s perfect!
When they say "cozy" bedrooms, they mean it. There isn't a closet to be found. Lots of hooks though. The property was perfect for us and 10 teens/adults age 17-21. We brought our golf cart and they had a blast riding around on the property for hours on end. The house was perfect with more than enough bedrooms and beds. I highly recommend it.
This was an our second TG here. Arrived to find the firewood truck dumping off a load of wood for the fire pit. We are a family of 12 and had both units so plenty of space to spread out and the children and teens could do their thing while the adults did theirs. Having two kitchens for a large group was perfect for cooking TG dinner and breakfasts. Heating system kept the place cozy and beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Just across the road is a trail so did a long walk into Crystal Mountain to the top of the slopes where they had just started blowing snow. We booked for next TG so that’s a good recommendation!
The house and its large property provided an ideal setting for our large family gathering, accommodating 10 adults and 4 kids with ease. Its layout was perfect, allowing parents and children to be on one side, while adults without children had their space on the opposite side. The kitchens were well-stocked with all the cooking essentials we required. Considering its vastness, the cleanliness of the house was commendable and met our expectations. Inside, the home was tastefully decorated with a cozy ambiance. Most of our time was spent visiting outdoors, drawn by the ample seating and beauty of the property, especially under the shade of the large trees. We took advantage of both the charcoal and propane grills, to enjoy our freshly caught king salmon from Lake Michigan. Firewood was readily available, allowing for relaxing evening campfires. Nestled in a prime location, the house offers easy access to a plethora of local activities. The unanimous agreement from our family was clear - we'd love to return!!
We had a wonderful time at this house. We had 15 people and we all fit comfortably in both houses. There was plenty of room at the table, around the island and in the living room. The outdoor space was perfect for playing games and relaxing around the fire pit. We will definitely come back!
great use of space allowing a large party of friends to gather, eat and sleep comfortably. 12 beds arranged in rooms and open area separate from living space worked out well. Great value.
