Peaceful dog-friendly home with gas grill & nearby resort amenities

Summary:

The Saltbox



The Space:

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! Things to Know Free WiFi and cable Full kitchen Firepit (wood provided) Dog-friendly Some amenities may not be available during the winter Shared pool, sauna, hot tub, and tennis court All resort amenities must be paid for separately on a pay-as-you-go basis through the resort. Vacasa offers lodging only. This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan LLC. *Please Note: Crystal Mountain Resort will be limiting access to the ski slopes this winter. All guests arriving during the time the resort is open should be aware to purchase lift tickets in advance as walk-ups may be turned away.

Wonderful stay at the Salt Box

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It had all the amenities for our large family including a big outdoor grill. It was a very peaceful getaway. We liked the close proximity to the Crystal Mountain Resort and walked our dog over there each day. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay.

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!

Overall stay was great. Checkin easy. Was clean. I realize it is a pet friendly rental. But the first thing we smelled when we walked in was dog smell. Mainly in the entryway.
