Crystal Mountain Charm is noted for its excellent location near Crystal Mountain and other area attractions while still offering privacy, quiet, and convenient access to northern and western Michigan.

Overview
Your own private getaway, Crystal Mountain Charm is just the place to get away from it all and indulge in some much-needed peace and quiet. The whole family can come along on this trip, as there is plenty of room to spread out and a fantastic yard for the pups to run around in (for a small nightly fee). Days can be spent skiing all day long or hiking along gorgeous trails, and evenings can be spent gathered around the firepit with loved ones. Inside, you will feel right at home with comfortable furnishings, free high-speed WiFi, and a spacious living area to cozy up in as the stars home out. Plus, you won't have to worry about heading out for meals every night because you can easily stock up the full kitchen and make your own favorite meals with ease!

Lights in bedrooms and living room did not work and trash was not taken care of from previous stay. A lot of ants inside as well.
The location was excellent for a variety of activities.
This little home initially seemed like a cozy getaway from the hussel and bussel snuggled neatly into the woods with critters and birds making wonderful noises from the moment we showed up until we left. That only lasted for a mere hour two until the first of our problems occurred. There was a washer and dryer, but neither were plugged into the wall nor was there water supply to the washer or a drainage area. The bugs were awful even after making sure that all windows and doors were snuggly closed at all times, crickets, spiders, and flies roamed with us. The trash outside was overflowing causing a smell to accumulate and having nowhere to put any of our trash. Last but not least on our second night we returned from a wedding to find that none of the lights would turn on and everything plugged into the wall continuously would turn on and off flashing digital lights and sounds. The nightstand light then proceeded to start smoking and becoming increasingly hot after only being on for a maximum of 5 minutes. Me and the other guests had decided it was unsafe to continue staying there and left shortly after.
The property was clean, beyond that there's not much great to say. The garbage can outside was completely full when we arrived and had nowhere to put bags we filled. The air was either way too cold or had to be turned off. The wifi and cable barely worked. The washer and dryer didn't work at all. That would have been nice to know before clothes and detergent were placed in it. The firepit with low hanging branches directly above seemed like a horrible idea. With a ski mountain near by I'd imagine the property is targeted at people planning an outdoor vacation, this makes the stained carpet inside a ridiculous choice, maybe a floor that can be cleaned in a suitable fashion for the use of a cabin. I'd demand a partial refund if I thought I'd get anywhere with it.
Proximity to our grandchildren Will definitely stay again as long as this is available
