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!

Great place
The house was super cozy and nicely appointed without being cramped or cluttered. The master bedroom has beautiful light and tree views, and doubles nicely as a separate laptop work space. The living room is nicer than it looked in the photos. We loved staying here and hope to again.

Fantastic Place to Stay
The property is everything it advertises and better. Very, very clean, great kitchen pots & pans, dishes, and silverware. Nice selection of games and puzzles. Very comfortable beds and great decorations. Highly recommend the property if you want a relaxing and close to the resort stay.

We stayed here with my elderly parents so it was nice to have a main floor bedroom and bath. Not handicap accessible but workable. It was nice to be in the woods and the road was a dead end so no through traffic. Very peaceful location. Driving distance to the beaches and places to eat. There were restaurants and a small market in walking distance, but a bit pricey. Every thing you need was there. I would stay here again.

Comfortable and clean!
This property had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. The large lot made it feel private and it was very quiet, which is what we always look for on vacation. Location was perfect and it was a short walk to meet up with our friends that were staying at Kinlochen. Texts about checking in and out from Vacasa were clear and timely. We had a great stay and will return.

Excellent House for a Family Vacation
My family of five stayed for six nights for a summer vacation Up North and had a great time. We've stayed at Crystal Mountain before so we were familiar with the area and the available amenities at the resort. I think the entire family agreed that we enjoyed everything the Saltbox had to offer. Upon walking in the first time we were immediately struck by how clean and homey that house was. The master bedroom on the first floor is great for parents and the kids all had plenty of space. My only nitpick was that the kitchen was not "stocked" particularly well with pots/pans/utensils and there were no containers in which to store food. Not the end of the world, but if you are making pasta for a family of five, just know it will be an adventure! All jokes aside, this is a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to head to Crystal Mountain.

Perfect Fall Getaway!
The house was tucked into the woods with lots of trees around. We took a drive to see all the fall colors changing which was just a short drive away. As a family we all hung out and just enjoyed the fireplace and playing games. Perfect weekend away to relax!!

Perfect Getaway at Crystal Mountain
This is a great getaway location with great amenities located on Crystal Mountain Resort. The resort has so many amenities that you don't have to leave the resort or you can be close to some great little towns like Beulah and Frankfort!

Wonderful stay
We greatly enjoyed our stay in this home. I brought my parents, who are in their 80s, and it was a perfect place for us. There was a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. The location was nice being surrounded by the woods and close enough to the beaches to drive there. We would stay here again.

Pet friendly vacation rental
Nice, cozy, and pet friendly home near the ski lifts, restaurants and shops. We were able to walk the dogs and enjoyed Legacy park a short drive away. I was unable to find a coffee maker when we arrived and a Vacasa rep dropped off a brand new one on the 1st hour of arrival. The place was clean with plenty of provided accommodations.

Cozy cottage right in Crystal Mountain
You can walk to the mountain or take a shuttle, dry your cold wet gloves from skiing in the dryer, and have your own since from your kiddos if needed because the master bedroom is on the main floor off of the kitchen, where, as the other two bedrooms and loft are upstairs. Adorable with all the amenities of home.
