Walking distance to four-season ski and golf resort Crystal Mountain

HUGE REMODELED KITCHEN! COZY!
Shiawassee Chalet is located on a quiet little cul-de-sac with only 535 steps to the beautiful Crystal Mountain Resort. Close to lakes, rivers, and beaches. 26 miles to Traverse City. Come stay and bike, golf, canoe, and explore in the summer and downhill ski, cross-country ski, and much more in the winter. It really is a dream to just sit and relax, and make memories with your loved ones.

Great ski Chalet

Great ski chalet located on the property of Crystal Mountain. My 12 year-old son was able to put on his skis and took about five minutes to ski down the road to the buck chairlift at Crystal Mountain. Longer to enjoy the house in the mountain and the crystal village.
