We needed a place to accommodate 10 adults, pet friendly and had a few activities to keep us entertained for a few days and this spot absolutely met the task. We had a fire on the beach each night, utilized the clean jacuzzi and sauna and had the ability to have big dinners each night. The location is a bit tucked away but we found a cute brewery (Fluvial) 10min away and hiked 2 days. Dina was very responsive when we had a question. Highly recommend!! ##### Lindsay P.

Large enough to comfortably house a multigenerational family reunion. Beautiful big kitchen, where we prepared every meal. Everyone felt comfortable, we were not on top of each other. We played many games on the expansive lawn. The sandy beach was great for the little ones. We rented kayaks and paddleboards from Lake Region Paddle and they were delivered right to the lake, it was very convenient. Dina was very accommodating and easy to work with. We had a vacation of a lifetime! ##### Ann K.

Incredible house in an amazing location! The lake house has everything you need-great family spaces, a well designed and stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet beauty of Crystal Lake. The expansive beach and shallow entry into the lake were perfect for our family, including our toddler granddaughter who is just beginning to swim. It was a perfect spot to spend the day swimming, kayaking and nature watching as loons, herons and ducks paraded by. Glimpses of the Milky Way and beautiful night skies were an unexpected treat for the night owls in our group. Dina is a gracious host who made checking in and out a breeze. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful lake home with us, Dina! We canā€™t wait to come back! ##### Michele W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy P.

Upon arrival, Dina let us know the dishwasher was not working and would be repaired in less than 48 hours (Monday morning). Her husband installed a brand new dishwasher on Monday! Dina fully communicated with us, addressed a few issues we had initially so we were comfortable the entire two weeks we stayed. The house is well stocked with towels, sheets, kitchen appliances, etc. The beach is perfect for building sandcastles and relaxing in the afternoon sun. Note, the lake entry is shallow for quite a ways and there is some noise from passing cars/trucks. The street noise was not noticeable inside and not objectionable while enjoying the lake. Thanks for a great couple of weeks! ##### Amy P.

The back yard was spacious and water was super clear. You will need to rent paddle boards, kayaks etc., it's worth contacting a local marina ahead of time. We rented a Pontoon boat and kayaks from Gateway marina, who was excellent to deal with. The lake is great for Kayaking. The house, has all updated appliances, Great modern Kitchen and is child friendly. Bed were very comfortable. Communication with the host, Dina was prompt. Which we greatly appreciated. The lake is less than 3.5-feet deep for more than 75-feet. The bottom is sand, squishy in areas. The dock at the house is shallow but fine for boats and experienced operator. There was not excessive weekend boat traffic on the lake, it didn't feel crowded. We were able to see ducks, loons, and beaver. Overall a great vacation for us. ##### Edna A.

This waterfront spot was great for our family vacation! Bring your own inflatable floats and just stroll right down to the sandy beach. The lake is less than 3.5-feet deep for more than 75-feet from this private beach, extra great for young children without water confidence to just splash in and out all day but also superb to kick back with a drink and float! The bottom is sand, squishy in areas. We brought our 18-ft boat, there is a public boat launch just down the road. The dock at the house is shallow but absolutely fine for an 18-footer and experienced operator. Late June fishing was very slow. There was not excessive weekend boat traffic on the lake, it didn't feel crowded. We also brought our own kayaks and the lake is great for that! You can kayak up Sucker Brook adjacent to the house. We were able to see wood ducks, loons, and beaver. The beds, mattresses, and sheets were very good quality and sleeping was comfortable with air conditioners. The layout worked well for our family trip with 6 adults and 4 children and the bedrooms were quiet. Everybody really enjoyed hopping in the hot tub, we did not make use of the sauna. The yard is large, flat, and grassy. Great for outdoor games! The driveway is large and easy to use for multiple vehicles. The house feels secluded and the neighbors on one side were quiet. The host was extremely responsive. We recommend you bring your own: beach towels, baby gates, kayaks/canoe/boats, inflatables, sand toys, soaps & shampoos, spices. There is a good book, game, & puzzle selection at the house and the wi-fi and t.v. were easy to find & use. ##### Kathryn D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sara w.

The beds were so comfortable, the lake was shallow and perfect for the kids. We floated and relaxed! I would recommend this for 2 families. ##### sara w.

The outdoor space was a nice grassy lawn leading down to the private sandy beach. Great for toddlers who could go in the shallow water. Firepits each night were fun for all. This is our favorite place to stay for our annual lakeside family vacation. ##### Faith L.
