I love it. My first time there I was in a car accident at the entrance (my fault) but was there the next day skiing and have been a few times now. I have really only gone skiing but from what I have seen and done it is pretty cool. It is a huge resort. Kind of a small lodge which is mostly a cafeteria for there expensive food (My only complaint). With an as big as you can get here in MI ski hill. Great place to ski and a great array of hills and difficulty. If your looking for a place to ski this is it. Plus a bunch of other stuff but I have not done it.
This was my first time at Crystal Mountain.
Everyone from the cashiers to the lift operators were exceptionally helpful and polite. The rental skis were like new and performed better than expected. The slopes were groomed perfectly. Wait time for the lift was the shortest I've seen anywhere. I'll definitely be back.
I snowboard at Crystal, and I love it. I bought the season pass and it was definitely worth it. I came out to snowboard just about every day during the winter. The cafe inside has a lot of nice people working in there, and they make it even more enjoyable. The runs are nice and I love how they are constantly changing how the terrain park is, whether it's adding a new rail, or moving it around.
Best resort in Michigan hands down. If I remember right they are in top 100 in country or something like that. Highly recommend for couple's or families to visit Golf, disc golf, Alpine slide, multiple swim and water areas. Even winter sports like skiing and snowboarding. If you are thinking of this place Stop thinking and book a vacation with them.
Crystal Mountain is a great place for family’s. It is an inclusive resort meaning there is no need to go off the property, they have it all. The golf course is always well maintained. Some golfers can get a little rowdy but the rangers make sure to shut them up. There is so much to do there so I would recommend grabbing a brochure just to see all the activities. Crystal changes every year and is always expanding. Highly recommend if you are looking to stay around the area.
Our suite was furnished with all the creature comforts anyone would need. The jet tub was really appreciated at the end of a day of golfing. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. So many things to do for every member of the family. It was our first time here. The only down side was we were only here for a weekend. Will come back and stay longer!
Crystal Mountain is like it's own little city. When you drive in to the resort there are buildings which look like tiny houses that you can rent. There is also different buildings that have a more traditional hotel setting. There is a spa/fitness area which is truly amazing! The location is beautiful!
Great location for any occasion! This spot in Michigan is wonderful any time of the year. The accommodations are clean and spacious. Enjoy a trip up north to Crystal Mountain and you won't regret the peace and tranquility that it offers.
This place might be a lot better at winter. The mountain slide is worth every dollar. I'd say get a day pass ($25/person) for the slide. If you're an adult stay away from all the other adventure stuff, they're pretty much targeted for kids. You'll have fun too,but not worth it in my honest opinion.
Great resort for families. Came for the day and purchased the $35 day activity pass. More than worth it. Lots of activities to keep both children and their parents happy. Outdoor pool was clean and well kept. Nice activities (ropes course and climbing wall not too hard for kids). Alpine slide was very fun! Ate lunch at the Thistle pub and grill. Service, food and drinks were excellent.
Kinda like a little tourist town. Hot dogs and ice cream. Cool little lift that goes up the hill with children's activities. We went for the Beer and Brat Festival. The area was really clean and well managed.
Crystal mountain was beautiful, but the signage/information was lacking. The staff was not rude but also not helpful when we needed info or even when checking in. I thought the room was just ok for the price.. I was expecting it to be nicer. Overall it is a nice place and I am sure during ski season it is better but I don't think I'd choose to stay there again during off season.
We had a birthday getaway blast here near the end of March. The staff are very nice and the cabins are pristine! Would recommend to anyone looking to ski or snowboard and get away from the big city for a while.
We went to a friend's birthday party at a cottage. We enjoyed our time there. The kids loved the pool and art park. However the cottage we were at had not been cleaned well. I feel like they need to do a better job cleaning.
Awesome time!! Our room was super cozy and had that ski lodge feel. Runs were well maintained and plentyful! Didn't go down the same run for a few hours! Ski lifts are quick. Not a great place for beginners, but lots of easy runs as well as hard runs. 5 places to get food and all of them are delicious. Outdoor and indoor hot tub available! We had a great time and the staff was so friendly! Memorable trip.
