Welcome to "The Nest" - a Crystal Lake Waterfront Retreat

Escape to the serenity of The Nest on Crystal Lake, our charming lakefront retreat. With 100 feet of stunning Crystal Lake frontage with private beach, hot tub and dock, this luxurious home provides a perfect setting for your Up North getaway. Enjoy sunsets that will make you linger, spacious accommodations, and modern amenities. Centrally located to all that Northern Michigan has to offer, home base is on Crystal Lake, just minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes, M22, the Pt. Betsie Lighthouse, Frankfort, Beulah, Traverse City, Crystal Mountain skiing, and more.

A private chef is available to help you enjoy a gourmet experience without leaving the property. Reach out for more information.

The Nest is your home away from home, offering a modern yet cozy design, recently renovated and furnished for your comfort. This bi-level home features a spacious, open floor plan with abundant natural light and spectacular lake views from virtually every room in the house.

Bedrooms:

Bedroom 1: The primary suite offers a King bed with stunning Crystal Lake views, a Smart TV, and ensuite bath on the second floor.
Bedroom 2: The west-facing bedroom offers incredible views of Crystal Lake in a King bed (on the second floor).
Bedroom 3: The "Bunk Room" includes a Queen bed overlooking Crystal Lake, twin bunk beds with a trundle, a desk overlooking the lake, and a loft play area (on the second floor).

The third full bath is connected to the primary bedroom upstairs, and has a door for privacy so others may use instead of going downstairs at night.

Kitchen:

Enjoy cooking up a storm in the gorgeous, newly renovated kitchen! The kitchen was designed to allow everyone to gather together, which usually happens anyway. Your head chef will enjoy turning out delights in this chef's kitchen filled with natural light, loads of counter space, an 88" island and a 36" stove for cooking. The island seats 4-5, plus 3 at the bistro table. Enjoy the 7' window seat to watch the lake, hang with the gang, or move the table for more seating. There is a full beverage station with a beverage refrigerator, a well-stocked coffee and tea station, and a Smart TV for playing today's can't miss game. Wake up early and enjoy your first cup of coffee with the breath-taking lake views of Crystal Lake.

Absolutely Perfect
I can't say enough how wonderful this property is. It includes a beautiful, new, well-stocked kitchen, clean & beautifully decorated rooms, and basically anything you could need for a fun vacation. The views are breathtaking, and falling asleep to the relaxing sound of the waves was amazing. Highly recommend!!!

Everything and more
This place is a gem. I have spent my summers in this area since I was a small boy, but I had never stayed on the north shore of Crystal. Beautifull house and property with sunsets as a bonus. We had an issue with the heater as the days started to get colder and the management was on top things and dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently. Great living space for our family of 5. The views on the lake changed throughout the day - it was a great place to watch the season change. We loved it!

Wonderful family vacation
We were right on Crystal Lake, with views of the water from practically every room. Everyone in our group found their rooms to be quite comfortable. Communication with the hosts was always prompt and the house was well supplied with maintenance materials to keep everything in order. To ice the cake, we had the pleasant surprise of finding a hot tub installed on the property midweek, just as the weather was showing that early September nip. All in all, a great week in a great area.

Crystal Lake Stay
Overall great stay and Jas and Sue were friendly and helpful! Only feedback would be to get blackout curtains on the bedroom windows as the window coverings didn't work. Otherwise it was a great experience - thank you Jas and Sue!

Lakeside Getaway
We stayed one week. We enjoyed the outdoors everyday. The water was wonderful, whether it was Crystal Lake or Lake Michigan. The housing accommodations were perfect for our group. We really enjoyed spending time on the lake during the day and sitting around the campfire at night. We had a great time, thanks!
