Private Crystal Lake Beach, walk downtown Beulah! Biweekly & monthly discounts.

I fell in love with this home as soon as I entered it. It was built in 1890 and the history spoke to me. We have completely renovated this home the winter of 2020. We took our home all the way down to the studs. We have all new wiring, heating, plumbing and we are especially excited about our brand new kitchen and bathrooms. I wanted to bring alive its history as well as its great location.

I can't wait to have my coffee on our private beach in the morning. In the afternoon walk to the coffee house, park, library, shops, restaurants, or brewery and ride the bike trail. All right outside our door or a short walk.

Our home has a screened in wrap around porch with the view of Crystal Lake. It is so inviting, I had to be here. I love to watch the rainstorms from the porch, sip my morning coffee on one of the comfy chairs or have a cup of tea and talk to a friend. Maybe you would like to enjoy and evening glass of wine from the comfy rocking chair and watch the sun set or just hold your loved ones hand.

There is lots of room for the family with its 3 bedrooms including a huge bunk room that has slept 8 plus. I can see childhood cousins becoming best friends, and making great lifetime memories playing in there while the parents are playing cards at the large kitchen table late into the evenings.

There are two bathrooms . We have also included makeup areas in each room to help cut the bathroom time for everyone as this house can sleep up to 12 (however we are listing it for 8 incase someone doesn't want to share one of the 4 double sized beds). Each of the bedrooms have a beautiful view of the lake as well.

You could not ask for a better location. Our home has a large grassy private beach on the South side of Crystal Lake. This is were a lot of people moor their boats as it gets the least amount of summer winds.

This home is on the Betsie Valley Bike Trail where you can ride all the way to Thompsonville or all the way into Frankfort and have a nice lunch and/or catch an art fair. We are also about a block to the Beulah Park with its, tennis court, pickle ball court, free concerts on summer Thursday nights, FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS AND FESTIVITIES, art shows, Fall Festivals, restaurants, brewery, coffee house, and unique shops. The fireworks are easily seen right from our beach.

This home has so much to offer. It has a large private Crystal Lake Beach, Two parking spaces in front of the garage, easy walk to town, access to the bike trail, plenty of grass and space for the kids to play outside. The 4th of July fireworks are going to be perfect from this location. It sits on a little 25mph road that I have actually seen children play their summer soccer game in the middle of - with the big net goals and everything. The beach is on the other side of the road, however it isn't traveled very much, mostly just the people to live on it.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Betsie Valley Trail. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.

Location, location, location, and a gorgeous house
Stayed Sep 23-30th. Great house with everything we needed, both inside and out. Very quiet road and felt an extremely safe neigbourhood. Even this late in the year the lake was warm enough for paddling and a swim, and the weather held firm for some fun kayaking and canoeing. Beulah is a cute town with plentiful amenities just a short walk away. Owner responsive and not at all intrusive, and starter pack a pleasant surprise. Would happily return if we get the chance (came over from UK and Canada).

Reliving Childhood Memories
My husband and I, along with our three adult children, wanted to bring my mom to the place where, since 1948, she spent most of her summers. Her great-Aunt and eventually her father owned a home directly across the lake from 6815 Crystal Avenue. This home was everything we needed....ample sleeping and sitting accommodations for 6 adults, and the kitchen was stocked with all the gadgets we needed for making a meal. It was so clean and all amenities were provided. Thank you, Meg, for opening your home to us!

Family Lake Vacation
Our family vacation with 6 adults was amazing - the house was just as promised, roomy, clean, within walking distance from the town and right on the bike path. The waterfront was perfect - with paddle boards, a canoe and kayaks. We all used them every day. One of my favorite parts was sitting out on the screened front porch with coffee early every morning and watching the lake wake up. Truly a wonderful place!!

Fantastic property with a wonderful host
The host was gracious in every way - completely accommodating and responsive. She gave me her cell number right away and even came over when we were having a challenge turning on the dishwasher. She left us a lovely welcome gift. The easy walk into Beluah was a bonus for all. The beach was Sandy and the kayaks and stand up paddle boards were great fun for all. She even had an infant life jacket. We wanted to come back next year but the property is already booked our week. We are struggling to find a great a place with a gracious host.

Great Family Getaway
We loved this house - so clean with a vintage cottage feel but newly updated and so comfortable. The location is perfect. We walked and rode bikes to shop and eat in downtown Beulah, biked toward Frankfort on the Betsie Valley Trail, took the kids for an afternoon of adventuring at Crystal Mountain, visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. We used the fire pit, took paddle boards and kayaks for a spin, and swam in gorgeous Crustal lake. So fun to wave to fellow bikers and walkers every morning while sitting on the front porch. We loved the energy of the house and the town. Looking forward to a return visit! Thanks Meg for your amazing hospitality!

Wonderful home
We had an amazing Labor Day weekend at this home. Fished off the dock, went into Frankfort, golfed at Arcadia, in short the home is in proximity to everything! The fire pit at night was our favorite part. The home is quaint and they did a great job on kitchen/bathroom Reno’s. We grilled and cooked one night, had everything in the kitchen we needed (and more). Thank you for having us!!

Beulah is great
We loved the location - Beulah is centrally located to so much fun in the northern MI area. Bike trail out front is great for a day roundtrip to Frankfort. Crystal lake is so beautiful. Rafting the Platte is a must. House is comfortable, nicely decorated. Much smaller than we expected. Fine for our family of four, but beyond that would likely feel a bit small. Host was great to work with.

Meg’s Crystal Lake
We stayed at Meg’s spot on Crystal Lake this summer and it exceeded our expectations. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable. The location was wonderful, walking distance to Beulah and public beach. We enjoyed access to kayaks, paddle board and canoe. The lake was clear, warm and beautiful. We traveled with young children, the only downfall with children is the street outside of the home, as some cars travel faster than 25mph. Otherwise, Meg was wonderful, easy to reach if needed and welcoming. I would highly recommend this spot if looking in Crystal Lake or a spot w several close access points to Lake Michigan.

Nice home that had been updated. There were stairs (13 steps) up to the second floor where all the bedrooms were located. Buelah has to have the hardest water in the state, but you deal with these issues to enjoy the many other amenities.

Lovely lake cottage
The property was as advertised. Meg was accessible by phone when needed which for us was just to get our boat settled In on the first day. We’ve been vacationing in Michigan for many years, primarily at Lake Leelanau. This was our first time at Crystal Lake and it was absolutely beautiful! We loved that Meg’s place was so close to the town and she provided paddle boards and kayaks which kept us all in the water constantly! Very clean, lovely lake home.

We were originally going to have four stay here. We ended up with just the two of us, so it was lots of extra space. Families will love it! The view is spectacular at all times of day and night.

Historic, beautifully restored home is the perfect Crystal Lake base
This 1880s house, lovingly restored by Meg, is perfect. First, the location: walking distance to tennis and town (Beulah), on the Betsie Valley bike path (~8 miles to Frankfort), and ideally situated among some of the best hiking in the state. Everything you want is there at the house, too: a huge kitchen for those (like me) who love to hit the local farmers markets (or the Market Basket) and cook; a large yard with two picnic tables, chairs, and a good grill (and lights at night!); a long dock with a bench and water toys (canoe, kayaks, paddle boards). This house is really a home—beautiful furnishings, large comfortable beds, great appliances. And Meg is local and very responsive (even if you ask her dumb questions). We loved our two weeks and would love to spend time there again!

Amazing house, lake, and location!
Meg's house is beautiful! It was by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. The lake is amazing and we loved her kayaks and paddle boards (she has an assortment of life jackets, too, and even water shoes) (we rented additional kayaks and SUPs from Crystal Lake Adventure Sports right down the street- they delivered and picked up). An easy, quick walk to downtown Beulah (would highly recommend the bagels at L'Chayim). There are tennis courts and pickle ball courts right down the street. The bike/running trail runs right in front of the house- a beautiful trail- would highly recommend biking to Frankfort for lunch or dinner. Make sure you plan some time to stop and swim at gorgeous Railroad Point. The house is in the perfect location for visiting surrounding areas like Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Platte River, Arcadia, and Empire (and an easy/short drive to the Traverse City airport). Meg's house is so lovely- I really appreciated the care and attention to detail that is very apparent everywhere you look, from the tasteful artwork to the fully functional, gorgeous kitchen (what a treat to have a huge gas stove!). I loved the plants (especially the real ones). We enjoyed dinners down at the picnic table by the lake. Meg responded very quickly to any questions we had, and her husband even came to get the trash out of the bin (trash pick up wasn't for a week, but the can was already full from the previous guests). Don't hesitate to stay here- Meg is wonderful, the house is wonderful, the lake and location are perfect- you can't go wrong! The house is perfect in every way; however, please consider the sleeping arrangements very carefully, as it may not work for every family... The house does technically sleep 12, but only in a certain configuration of people in beds. Review the description and think about sleeping arrangements. Two in our party slept on Aerobeds, which was perfectly fine, but just a head's up. We loved this place and we hope to return! Thank you Meg!

Beautiful home on a beautiful lake
This was our first visit to Crystal Lake, but it won’t be our last. This lovely home was recently renovated to become a beautiful, restful retreat. Meg didn’t miss any details in her remodel. We enjoyed swimming, boating, a canoe trip, a visit to the beach, reading on the roomy screened in porch, and relaxing. The teenagers enjoyed the paddle boards provided and also had their spacious bunk room in which to retreat from the parents for a while. 100% recommend, we would stay here again!
