Inn at Beulah Beach on Crystal Lake

Summary:
Formerly the Inn at Beulah Beach. Charming, historic, lovingly updated accommodations for up to 20 guests.
The quintessential Up North Michigan experience on beautiful Crystake, Lake in the quaint village of Beulah.
Custom woodwork throughout. Chef's kitchen, billiards and board games, fireplace, pets allowed. Free on-site parking and wifi. Comfortable, convenient; quite a special spot. Four season fun for the whole family.

ALL guests must be 25+ or accompanied by a parent/gusrdian.

The Space:
Guests renting this property have complete and private access to the entire beach house totaling 4,200 square feet.
Cross the spacious front porch where you will surely have a beverage while watching the sunset later on.... enter through the home's original 1907 grand foyer.
First floor is for gathering in the comfortable common areas, and there is a fully equipped chef's kitchen, and a full capacity laundry room. On the 2nd floor are 5 bedrooms (one has a King bed, the rest have queen beds) and each bedroom has an attached full bathroom. The 3rd floor is a large loft with 2 stand alone twin beds and 2 bunk beds - twin beds on top, full beds on the bottom, a bathroom, and TV. (There are 6 beds total in the bunk room.) Perfect for a family stay with kids. A gas grill is available for guest use just outside the kitchen. All the conveniences of home while you're away. This property provides the perfect accommodation for families or groups; accommodating up to 20 guests, and is steps from the sandy beach directly across the road. In the side yard is Cold Creek making its way to Crystal Lake. The beach house is as functional and convenient as it is gorgeous. "Casual elegance" describes the beach house décor. The warmth of the custom woodwork throughout the first floor creates cozy common areas that encourage old fashioned down time. Full size pool table, games, reading chairs, and a field stone fireplace just might compete with beach time and Main Street window shopping. Not to mention all that nearby northern Michigan has to offer.

This property is just a short walk from the public beach and dock. Please be aware that the dock is intended solely for fishing, walking, and relaxing. It cannot be used to tie up boats; it’s only for loading and unloading. If you plan to bring your own boat, you'll need to arrange for mooring in advance, as mooring near the public beach is not permitted. There are nearby marinas available for this purpose.

The Neighborhood:
Crystal Lake finds its way on to almost every Most Beautiful Michigan Lake list you can Google.
A 30 minute drive takes you to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, (National Park) that recently graced the cover of National Geographic Magazine.

Other Things to Note:
Please Note: All guests staying at this property must be 25 or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This will be verified after booking confirmation.

A damage waiver fee is required by Golden Swan for each stay. For this property, the fee is $149 and provides our guests with accidental damage coverage up to $2500. If the amount of damage exceeds this, or if the damage is found to have occurred with malicious intent, Golden Swan retains the right to seek damages beyond that amount.

High chair and pack n play available upon request for an additional fee.

Dogs are allowed with an additional fee, with a maximum of 2 dogs. Please be advised that it is absolutely imperative for all renters to keep their dogs on a leash at all times. While we truly appreciate and value pets, ensuring that our furry friends are leashed or properly secured is of utmost importance to us. Please take your pup with you or kennel them when you leave the home. We cannot have lonely barking dogs left at our property. Please be considerate and clean up after your pet.

There is a non-refundable credit card processing fee applied to all reservations.

If the reservation is 14 days or longer there will be a required mid-stay clean. This is also available upon request for a shorter length of stay.

Milestone Birthday Gathering
The property worked out perfectly for this milestone birthday celebration. Can’t say enough about this house, it’s clean and well appointed, room to gather or spend time alone to reflect. Location is easy access to downtown Beulah. Enjoyed beautiful views of the lake while drinking morning coffee and watching evening sunsets. The entire rental process went smoothly, great communication from the management company (Katy) throughout!

Golf Trip Central
A perfect place to stay with friends or a group when doing the Northern Michigan golf loop. Well situated for quick access to all of Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Downs and the Kingsley Club and only 40 minutes from Traverse City airport. Beautiful lake views. The property was cottage chic and exactly as billed. Katy the host was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive.

Charming Historic Lake Home
I rented this charming Beulah home for my Mom's 70th birthday party/family reunion and it was so perfect. Everyone absolutely loved the home and its location. Proximity to Downtown Frankfort and Beulah, Crystal Lake and its public beach, fulfilled all the grocery, fun and leisure we could ask for. We stayed there for Labor Day weekend and watched Beulah's Cold Creek Bridge Walk which was comedic and just the cherry on top. My only complaint would be the egregious "cleaning" fees or additional (hidden) fees that appear upon checking out. I realize that STR's are notorious for this but that does not make it right. Anyways, great stay otherwise.

Crystal Lake Family Reunion
This house worked out perfectly for our vacation getaway with 17 family members. House is beautiful. Very quaint and tastefully decorated. Ample space for everyone. Bedrooms were all very nice and each having their own bathroom was a big hit. House is equipped with all amenities needed. Gourmet kitchen is outstanding. House is perfectly located in downtown Beulah with ample parking, easy access to the beach, easy walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. Best of all was the large outdoor porch for relaxing and watching beautiful Crystal Lake sunsets. Would highly recommend this vacation house for any large family gathering.

Teacher Friend Getaway
Seventeen friends spent a weekend in this fabulous property. Plenty of room, great kitchen and living spaces, and lots of sleeping room. We loved that we could walk to L'Chayim Deli for breakfast, Hungry Tummy Corner pub for pizza and drinks, and Five Shores Brewery for dinner and drinks. The lake view was great and access to the trail along the lake made for a great morning walk. We really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely Inn with great location right on the Crystal Lake
We had a lovely stay at the Inn at Beulah Beach celebrating a milestone birthday. It was a multi generational group with 8 children and 12 adults. The accommodations were incredibly clean and very comfortable. Wonderful kitchen space for cooking and gathering, music, games and access to the beach (even in the cold weather). We enjoyed our time there and would certainly stay again!

Amazing views!
We were in town for my brother’s wedding and rented this property for 5 nights. It was the perfect place to gather as a family and create lifelong memories. The kitchen was stocked with more things than what we possibly could use: pots, pants, baking dishes, platters, bowls, blenders, coffee pots, etc. We didn’t go without. The billiards room was a favorite gathering place for friends and family. We sat on the porch quite a bit to take in all the beautiful sun sets and sun rises. The house is very close to Crystal Lake’s public access so the kids could run back and forth as needed. Every bedroom had a bathroom which was convenient for us all getting ready for the wedding. It is also one block away from the downtown area with many neat shops and breweries. The one thing I would say is there isn’t a ton of closet space. This is an older, beautiful home so is understandable/somewhat expected. Some rooms had armoires and hooks, but I wouldn’t plan on bringing a lot of hanging clothes. We created so many memories in this house and will always treasure our time spent there!

Beautiful home, lake, town plus…Everything you could need
Our family reunion of 17 people thoroughly enjoyed this house!! The rooms are so nice- and having a private bath for 5 rooms was ideal- felt like a small hotel, not a house where we all share bathrooms. The house is gorgeous inside and out and very clean. The host provided beach towels, a few beach chairs, toiletries, the kitchen was fully stocked paper towels, dish soap; laundry detergent, garbage bags- and host was very responsive when I sent multiple emails with questions. There is a pool table, and lots of games in the main room. We loved being on the porch watching sunsets, and playing in the crystal clear lake- we brought paddle board and kayak. We went on a kayak trip out of Glen haven and spent at day at platte river beach (where meets lake MI), didn’t even get to sleeping bear dunes because we decided to stay on Crystal Lake for a day…enjoying the house and the view. (Btw- we were concerned about the street between house and beach- but it goes one way and is only used for access to the few houses along the lakes - not many cars at all) There’s also some nice shopping a block away in sweet town of Beulah. The host Katy was SUPER responsive- able to help us immediately with a blown fuse and sent someone over quickly when we couldn’t release one of the bath tub plugs. Can’t say enough about how perfect this was for 5 adult couples and handful of teens/kids, a great experience. We hope to return in 2 years for the next reunion.
