10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a wonderful winter stay at this downtown Beulah home, and it would be just as ideal for a summer vacation or a fall color tour. The location is excellent—about a 12-minute drive to Crystal Mountain, where we skied every day, and an easy walk to downtown Beulah, which had all the supplies we needed.The house was very clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with plenty of accessories that made our stay comfortable and easy. It felt welcoming and well set up for a family in every season.Beyond skiing, we loved how close the home was to other outdoor adventures. It was a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes, where we enjoyed winter hiking and even sledding down the hill near the Dune Climb entrance.We truly loved our stay and would absolutely return. Highly recommend this home for families looking for a convenient, comfortable base for exploring the area year-round.

Very walkable to both beach and downtown. Bedrooms are even larger than they appear in photos. Excellent sunset views from the spacious deck. The kitchen is well equipped and the grill was fantastic. Highly recommend!
