Right across the street from the public beach, pier -- yet quiet at night. We walked down to see fishermen catch salmon while the sun set. Played cornhole before dinner. Open windows allowed for a crisp cross breeze in our room. A pretty vinyl floor made for easy cleaning of sand tracked in from the beach. Not fancy. Just a step back in time that enhanced our whole trip. On a side note, we were able to use an AirBnB gift card at the hotel.

Would not recommend. The accommodations are small cottages built many years ago and we did not…read moreexpect high level service but did expect a little more. We had several families and is most all cases the mattresses were terrible, bathrooms were a nightmare. In one, the front of the WC is less than 12 inches from a wall meaning you had to sit sideways to fit on it. Showers were like coffins with a dribble of water. the current owner "Kitty" is a bit surly and rude to boot. One of the cottages had a gas leak in it when we arrived but she refused to believe us. We turned off the gas for our own safety. I am told that Kitty will be selling to new owners in fall of 2013 and hope that the new owners will be more accommodating to their guests and spend some time repairing the years of "band-aid" repairs. This could be a nice quaint little lane from yesteryear but seems to be more of a rotted and forgotten lane. The common area consists of a small sandy beach with docks and kayaks available for use. There is some playground equipment that the kids all enjoyed. Just be sure not to leave a single sand toy laying out for more than a few minutes unattended as Kitty will pick them up and take them away from the kids.

Stayed there over Labor Day weekend. Why is this place really needs some TLC. Also they need to do…read morea better job of cleaning. Cobwebs everywhere repairs that are in desperate need like fixing a screen door putting a lightbulb in the light fixture. Fixing the bathroom floor. There is a definite nasty smell in the place we did open the windows to try to air it out. Replace the old carpet and you may find that fixes the smell. Even the grounds need tlc.

Sitting at my desk on a Friday, watching the rain hit my window... I thought, "I'm not spending my…read moreweekend here..." My thought processes was where can I go within driving distance with Bentley(my fur-baby), hike and take in beautiful sunsets on the beach.... After a short search Michigan and Highway 31 Cabins checked ALL the boxes! The airbnb hosts Charlie and Andra were great! They responded within minutes to my messages, gave detailed/easy to understand directions to their location and instructions on how to enter the cabin along with where to park(all very much appreciated!)... the area is super cute, half circle of cabins, complete with a fire pit. Once inside everything looked up just as pictured on their Airbnb site; no surprises. My favorite part was the information binder with "insider/local" tips, love exploring the hidden gems to local areas. Lots of amazing sites to see within a reasonable distance. Pictured below are a few of the places I explored during my stay. I'm not telling you where I went... you'll need to book Highway 31 Cabins for the inside scoop. They put a lot of effort in on mapping out locations(all in the information binder); I'm not just going to give it away... ;) The entire process from booking, checking in and out was seamless; overall a great experience!

Renters BEWARE!!!! I would not recommend renting the Aspen cabin from Jeff with Crystal Adventures!…read moreWe had a horrible experience at this cabin. Upon arrival, we discovered a lady bug/beetle infestation. The dishes in the kitchen cabinets were dirty and also had beetles on them. The kitchen is also not a full kitchen as advertised. of the two bedrooms, one of them does not have heat, and the other one has a hidden baseboard heater which you are not made aware of. This resulted in us sleeping without heat before the first night. The bathrooms are absolutely filthy. Only 2 of us (out of 6 people) showered the entire weekend as the showers were very unclean. We had dog hair in the sheets of our bed. We realize mistakes can happen with cleaners so tried to work with the property owner, Jeff in hopes of working something out and issuing a partial refund for everything we encountered last weekend. He was very unprofessional and left us no choice but to contact AirBNB for help. After seeing our photos and videos, they agreed that we deserved a partial refund. I just wanted to help inform others to avoid renting from Crystal Adventures at all costs! It was a very unfortunate situation for our family.

In hindsight I wish we had each gotten our own kayaks instead of doubling up in canoes as the river is tricky to navigate in the larger sized vessel at times. I'll definitely come back to Crystal Adventures.
