Set on 100 feet of private Crystal Lake frontage, spend summer afternoons paddling across the lake on one of the provided kayaks or paddleboards, or unwind by the fire pit as the sky turns pink over the water. In winter, soak in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars after a day of skiing at Crystal Mountain.

✅ Booking & Stay Requirements (For Everyone’s Protection)
To ensure a smooth and secure stay for both our guests and our home, we ask all bookings to complete the following standard steps after confirming a reservation:
• Rental Agreement & ID Verification
After booking, guests will be asked to sign a short rental agreement and upload a photo ID through our secure property management system. This helps protect both our guests and the home and is a standard practice for professionally managed vacation rentals.
• Refundable Security Deposit Hold
A temporary security deposit hold of $500 is placed on your card 2 days before arrival and automatically released 7 days after departure, pending inspection. This is a hold only, not a charge — similar to what hotels require at check-in.
These steps are in place to ensure a safe, respectful, and worry-free experience for everyone. If you have questions at any point, we’re always happy to help.
