What our guests are saying...
The Saltbox is described as a great value and a perfect fit for family getaways, ski trips, golf weekends, and relaxing retreats, with plenty of space and a cozy, homey feel. The Saltbox is praised for being comfortable, nicely appointed, pet friendly, and thoughtfully laid out, with a bright master suite, comfortable beds and furnishings, and inviting living spaces. Guests consistently highlight that The Saltbox is very clean, well maintained, and well stocked for a stay away from home. The Saltbox stands out for its excellent location within Crystal Mountain, offering easy walking access to resort activities, lifts, dining, shops, and other attractions while still feeling quiet, private, and tucked away. Guests especially love the wooded setting, treetop views from the master bedroom, and the peaceful atmosphere that makes The Saltbox feel like a charming retreat in the forest. The Saltbox also offers appreciated amenities such as a stocked kitchen, fireplaces, grill, fire pit, shuttle access, and useful supplies that support both relaxation and convenience.
Overview
Escape to this relaxing home in a woodland neighborhood for your next getaway. Retreat to the electric fireplace or the free-standing gas fireplace in the master bedroom on chillier nights. There's no way anyone will be cold in this home! When the weather's mild, cook on the gas grill outside and enjoy the fresh air. Come summer, enjoy the portable firepit, and relax in the warm breeze. In the winter, make use of the ski shuttle and get going to the mountain early for fresh powder! If the kids tag along, they will love the play loft accessed by a ladder for their own little world as well! The shared hot tub available is another great place to chill and relax, especially after spending the day at the slopes!
Venturing out form this retreat will be a breeze, as restaurants, shops, the market, and the lodge are all within walking distance! Guests are less than a half-mile from the snowy slopes at Crystal Mountain. At the resort, guests can enjoy snowshoeing, skiing (cross-country and downhill), 36 holes of golf, fine dining, spa treatments, mountain biking, and an Alpine slide in the summertime. Beyond the resort, guests can take a delicious sip of local history at the Iron Fish Distillery four miles away. Looking for an art break? Michigan Legacy Art Park is just under one mile away - try to catch a concert during your stay!

We loved every bit of this great little retreat. Exactly what our family needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. đ
Overall the home was nice for a family of 8. Great location in relation to the ski lodge. Be sure to bring any items you might use frequently if you plan on cooking during your stay (ie. Non-stick cooking pans, can opener, aluminum foil, etc).
Loved the master suite with all the windows and being surrounded by all the snow was pure magic!! Also being so close to the resort for skiing was amazing!
Great home , convenient location, all amenities of home. We will definitely be back.
