Crystal Lake Front property

This one bedroom 2.5 bath upstairs apartment is perfect for a relaxing get away. It is located right on Crystal Lake. Has 1 queen bed at the end of the hallway with bath. There are other rooms but they are empty or used for storage by the owners. You have your own private entrance and inside there is NO door that can take you to the downstairs apartment. You are secure and private. The view is relaxing and peaceful. Get comfortable on the patio and watch amazing sunsets or sunrises. Hop in the car and enjoy our small town feel with shops and restaurants. Goldhead State Park is not far and there is a rails to trails right around the corner for plenty of exercising. Crystal Lake is great for swimming and boating. Please feel free to ask about anything. Owner has been here for many years. We look forward to seeing YOU soon!
*Note: The driveway does need some work along with the exterior of the home. It's an older home. The inside is a cottage and clean, its simple!

Disappointment and very dirty!!!
Definitely was a disappointment!! Yes we stayed only due to it was a place for us to stay while we where out of town but the cleanliness was a disappointment for sure there where dead bugs throughout the house! The kitchen was dirty the freezer was full of old nasty food the fridge wasn’t clean there was dust cobwebs and dead bugs as well in the kitchen!! The kitchen was in my opinion not a place I would feel comfortable eating at all!! I do understand that the house is old so that I’m sure is why we got the old musty smell! I had to go out and buy candles to kill the odor of the home also I get that by a lake you get mosquitoes but not an infestation of them we couldn’t enter the home without getting attacked by them we had to go out and buy a mosquito fogger for the outside of the door so we could bring our stuff into the home!! The view is beautiful but the overall place was a true disappointment!! When you have guest coming I would think you would make sure the home was clean for the peoples stay so they can relax and enjoy but that was not the case at all!! Not to top it off there was not cable except for basic channels and even those would freeze! The bed was not made the sofa in the room had blankets and stuff pilled on top of it!! We over all where not happy at all this was a weekend getaway for my husband and I and we basically stayed gone away from the home as we couldn’t enjoy it like we wanted to!!!

Gorgeous Lake
Crystal Lake is an amazing lake and being able to stay right on it was special. Enjoyed swimming every morning and the Independence Day fireworks. I liked the Fiestaware dishes throughout and the vintage bathrooms. The shower water was delightful - maybe comes from the lake? Would rent again.

Nice for a short stay!
Nice property, but a lot to be worked on. Was good for the short stay we had. Some weird experiences with the sliding doors not shutting and not locking. A very spacious place for a two people, very nice living room and bedroom.

Owner/manager is great
The owner or manager was really helpful. We needed to stay another night, but the place was booked. She went out of her way to find us another place to stay with a neighbor who has a rental property. She didn't have to do that, and I really appreciated it. Check in was also a lot easier than other places we've rented. I never saw the actual property, so I can't really comment about that, but the management is really good.

beautiful and Tranquil
Very clean. A wonderful highlight was a book on the USA and Indigenous People. The lake was rowdy with the tropical storm, Nicole, but it was so wonderful. I would stay again.
