Crystal Downs Golf Course Crystal Mountain Resort The space The house is set back from the tree-lined Taquaka Road. In this setting nestled amongst the trees, the house is very quiet, and private. The large porch is a meditative place to sit and enjoy the tranquil setting. The large flat grassy yard provides the perfect space for yard games and at the same time opens up the sky to allow sun to flood into the property. Part of the magic of this area, is that there are relatively very few mosquitos, so an evening by the fire pit is very relaxing. We have a basketball hoop, corn hole boards, volleyball, soccer goals, bocce, and some other fun yard games available. Make sure to take advantage of the private beach access which offers a view of the Manitou islands, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and some of the most breathtaking sunsets you will ever experience. Guest access There is plenty of parking in the driveway. The Michabou streets are quiet and great for walking. You'll need a car to get to places further afield and groceries from town. Other things to note We are somewhat new to Air BnB and are still learning the ropes. We are eager to accommodate any reasonable requests that will make your stay more enjoyable, and help us learn to be great hosts. The property is smoke free. NO SMOKING is allowed on the property.
