Enjoy private access to the most gorgeous beach on the lake! This lovely and rustic property, held in the same family for over one hundred years, is conveniently located by several attractions and just across the street from Crystal Lake. At the cottages themselves, you can relax inside and cook up delicious meals in the full kitchen. Enjoy meals together in the screened-in porch, surrounded by trees on three sides. The private washer/dryer will take care of everything that got a little too close to the lake. Feel free to stream movies at night - the high-speed WiFi makes it possible. The family dogs are welcome to come along for this adventure!

The cottage was nice and convenient. The access to the private beach was wonderful. Would have been nice to have a TV and air conditioning but still enjoyed our time. Thank you!

I loved the view from the cabin that you can actually see the water but still feel secluded. We spent one of the days at Sleeping Bear Dunes, just a short 20-30 minute drive. The village of Beulah is very quaint and everyone there is very friendly. Our only concern was having issues with the heat in the main cabin, so we spent most of our time in the smaller cabin, which was a nice size for just my fiancé and I and our two medium sized dogs. The cabin was stocked with all amenities that were needed.

This was a well maintained family cottage for years and has the best of old fashioned Northern Michigan "rustic" - mellowed natural wood, cozy proportions, sylvan setting, and spectacular sunset views from the beach. The layout with a master bedroom outbuilding affords plenty of privacy,

The main cabin is quite rustic but suited our needs to a T. Cabin is very spacious and the screened in porch was perfect for our grandson. The extra cabin is a bonus. Any negatives are canceled by the fantastic private beach.

10/10

We really enjoyed having the separate studio cottage on the property. The beach access and ability to use the kayaks was fantastic. I took a star off for cleanliness, mainly the kitchen floor. But overall superb property and location. Highly recommend!!!

We rented the place expecting a cottage on a beautiful lake from which we could comfortably come and go to the local attractions. The lake and area was wonderful. However the cottage was a shocking experience and we ended up having to cut short our stay due to massive concerns. The first issue is the security of the unit. When we arrived the patio and side entrance we unlocked, and as we discovered this was because the front door does not lock with the key. We were unable to lock it on several attempts throughout the week. The second issue was safety. There are numerous concerns here. First is the main bathroom, which from the first shower did not drain properly. Before the shower was hot, it was backed up. We could not bathe any children in that main bath and had to have 5 members use the small "cedar tot" bathroom. Making this difficult was the main walkway and back walk being dangerous. The front was uneven and broken rocks, the back walk was full of debris and dirt. Twice kids fell after showers, at night, because we couldn't use the main bath. Also in the main bath, the light fixture fell on my head when I simply shut the door. It was a clip on, and popped off onto my head. This was before I could try and sponge bathe in the shower that we couldn't run. Screens with holes and windows that did not open also caused concern. Also massive gaps in window framing was letting hornets in. I killed 5 in 6 days. My primary concern actually was the cleanliness of the unit. This started with with our arrival. The "tot" cottage was unmade, half cleaned, and dirty linens and towels sat on the unmade bed. Sand sat in the bath. We called and someone came to finish the job not done. She was great. However we later discovered a mop bucket of dirty water in a closet, the floors and shower filthy [and backed up], kids snacks strewn about the drive that brought birds all day, and dishes still not clean in cabinets. The worst of all cleanliness concerns, and that which caused our day early departure [we left at 930 Friday instead of Saturday], was a severe rodent issue. We found steel wool and stones blocking rodent holes, rodent droppings all over the master bedroom floor, and more droppings ON THE BOX SPRING. When my wife noticed this she became physically ill having slept in that room with our two youngest. We packed up and left. This is totally unacceptable for a vacation rental.
