Our family enjoyed staying on Crystal Lake for a week in July. The sandy entry, swimming raft and dock were nice ways to be on the lake, not to mention the kayak. The deck overlooking the lake has a picnic table and a good grill; the outdoor folding chairs provided were that comfortable though. Inside the cottage is cozy and clean. All four of us were able to read using the overheard cam lights. Better lighting for reading would have been nice. We were able to cook dinners for four well enough, though more serving pieces would have helped. The location is so wonderful! We had a full week of trips to Lake Michigan, blueberry picking, dune riding, kayaking and hiking at Ludington Park. Hansen grocery in Hart has great variety and is only 7 minutes away. Communication with Ardith was great and we felt welcomed. A fun and memorable vacation.
