The Neighborhood:
Crystal Lake is considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in northern Michigan.

Other Things to Note:
*Please Note: All guests staying at this property must be 25 or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This will be verified after booking confirmation.*

A damage waiver fee is required by Golden Swan for each stay. For this property, the fee is $149 and provides our guests with accidental damage coverage up to $2500. If the amount of damage exceeds this, or if the damage is found to have occurred with malicious intent, Golden Swan retains the right to seek damages beyond that amount.

Lovely winter getaway
We had a great time staying at this rental with plenty of room for all of our kids and our friends kids. It wasn’t too far I drive from Crystal Mountain and walking around Crystal Lake was beautiful. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a day of skiing. Thanks for a great time.

Gorgeous views with lots of room!
We had our family fall getaway here, and the views of the lake are incredible! Several rooms have lake views, and there are 2 large seating areas on the front deck with lake views. The lake was a little cold in September, but a few brave people got in the water (there is a hot tub to warm up in). There’s a table/umbrella by the lake, as well as a fire pit and seating area with roasting sticks. We did not use the kayaks, and there were some lake toys in the garage, too. We had lots of room to hang out and enjoy family time. The pictures can’t really give you a sense of how large this home really is! We had a wonderful time :)

Pure Michigan vacation home
Great home for large extended family. Beach and lake are perfect. The Rec room was an added bonus. Beachside fire pit is a great finish to a busy and fun day. Plenty of outdoor things to do in and around the Frankfort area. We had 16 people, ages 4-64.

Crystal Lake Trip
We had a large group and very much enjoyed the property. Management was very responsive and got the hot tub working effectively. The beach area is magnificent and it’s lots of wood for bond fires. We appreciated the use of the boat lift. Great vacation spot!!

Perfect for multi-family get-away
We absolutely loved this property! The house was clean, check in was easy, and the communication was excellent. The beach was great for the kids, and the lake was pristine. With lots to do in the surrounding area, this location really can’t be bear. We would love to come back again.

Hotel house
Our family stayed at this house for a week. We vacation up north every year and are always looking for a place that can accommodate us along with our five children and their kids. This house was one of the best in terms of just having enough large bedrooms. Because of the unique layout of this house, which is built on a hill, all the rooms were very separate from one anothe and allowed people to sleep early and late as they liked. The family with the oldest children particularly appreciated the space over the garage. The lake itself is gorgeous; sandy, bottom, clear and shallow, which was very comfortable with small children and allowed for kayaking and just floating around having a dock for our small sailboat was also a big plus. They loved the private sandy beach area, some thing that is very hard to find in a vacation rental. The owners were extremely responsive to any needs or difficulties with the house. That being said, this house did have more issues with it than any other house we’ve stayed at. Although it is freshly renovated and very clean, it does seem like the fixtures are on the older/cheaper side, and we did have issues throughout the stay. I also felt that the listing downplayed the length of the staircase, which was daunting for those who lived in the upper rooms, especially with small children. And the road in front of the house did get busy at times and cars go very fast on it, so that was a concern with small children. Overall, 4 stars
