Cottage vacation rentals in Crystal Lake

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Cute place. Exactly what was expected.

Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

Michelle was an excellent host. The cabin is smaller than pictures appear, but it wasn't a problem for two people. I had to leave a day earlier than planned and she refunded me a day. We had a good experience.

We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

beautiful cabin pleasant neighborhood easy check-in and check out. great host love the hot tub definitely a plus. will definitely rent from them again great people

We had a great time with family, 4 couples. The house was clean and very comfortable. The beds were cozy. Beautiful, private space right on the trails. Andreia was friendly. Very easy to check in and out. Highly recommend.

Everything was so nice!! She had everything you would need and even went out the way to have little extras like games to play as a family and smores to roast over a fire outside. We had a really good time in Lake City. We will definitely book this place again when we come back.

Always our favorite stay! Robert’s place is just as he describes. Clean. Close to everything. Very responsive. Perfect for our family or 4!

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

Place was an amazing getaway for my husband and I. Very quiet and cozy just what we needed. Rob was very helpful and quick to respond to every question we had. Will definitely come back. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Thank you again for wonderful accommodations. This was our second stay at Owl & Anchor and it was even better than the first stay. The host is very thoughtful and the rental is stocked so well with any items needed. The weather did not allow us to kayak as planned since it was very windy but we made the best of our time and it was nice to have the extra throw blankets to toss over our laps on the chilly evenings. There are plenty of games to keep busy with when the weather does not cooperate and the cottage is super comfortable for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake.

Lovely place. Great location and walking path. We loved we found a place to bring our doodle. She loved her stay too.

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

We were in Pentwater for a wedding and this property was perfect for our stay. Convenient to the downtown and in a nice neighborhood everything was as described in the listing. The owners were very professional and courteous, and the communication was excellent..

We enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day after we visited family in the area. We would stay here again! Thank you!!

We were warmly greeted by Mark as we arrived. The cabin was immaculate, fully-stocked with all needed amenities, and very comfortable beds and living room and porch furniture. The lake view and surrounding area are so peaceful and picturesque. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and enjoying eating and reading on the porch. A perfect place to enjoy family and the beauty of Northern Michigan!

Very good view and very private Host is very helpful and always respond on time 5 star host

We were so pleasantly surprised by the quaint, quiet, beautiful cottage nestled in the woods amongst the surrounding homes. It was so homey, and the 3 season porch was absolutely amazing! By far, the value and location for our 3 night, 4 day getaway was wonderful and exactly as we had hoped:) Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us, and if your looking for an amazing 5 star host and wonderful place to stay... look no further!

We had an amazing stay! While the weather was a colder Memorial Day weekend than usual, the lake was as beautiful as ever. We traveled with three small ones and two dogs, and everyone had a blast. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had ziploc bags and plastic containers for leftovers. There was plenty of space for everyone inside and the owners were so accommodating, bringing extra sheets and firewood down for us. This place was so wonderful, I even looked at renting it again later in the summer. This is such a great deal and located in the perfect spot. We will definitely be back!

This is our favorite place to stay up north! The house is beautifully kept, and the property offers privacy and serenity. We love the fact that we can let the dogs out and they’re not going to bother anyone. The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. There are many beautiful nature preserves and trails near by. Many pretty lakes nearby. A great place to stay if you want to explore northern Michigan!

Perfect location and beach is short walk down the road. Everything we needed and more was in their house. We loved the front deck and listening to the small creek. We did our usual wine tour and visited Fishtown. Everything we visited was 5-15 minutes away. Thank you for sharing your place with us! We will definitely come back……..

My husband and I and our two girls had a wonderful time. The girls loved the loft area. Beautiful fall colors. We went to the Charlevoix Apple Fest while in town, and found some petoskey stones as well. Highly recommended wood shop social restaurant in Mount Pleasant. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
