Lovely property, truly a retreat space that served us very well. We missed a proper sit down table, though there were sufficient options available. Access to the trails, lakes, sites was appreciated. Could have stayed longer.

Check in was very simple, house was very clean and ready for us. The kitchen was well-equipped, plenty of dishware, glasses, and flatware for our group. Beds were comfortable; having A/C units and a fan to move the cool air around the space made the house comfortable when we arrived; temps during our stay meant we didn't really need the A/C and could just open windows and enjoy the sound of the beautiful waterfall! Great place for a relaxing, get-away-from-it-all few days. Had fun exploring the river/waterfall, cooking together, spending an afternoon at Christine Lake, and just exploring the area.

Excellent location!

Loved the waterfall right out the door. My teens spent most of the time exploring around the falls. Christine lake was amazing. Went there 3 days in a row. The house was clean and well stocked with necessities. Only issue to mention was there was only ac units in 2 of the bedrooms so all the doors had to stay open to help keep the rest of the house cool. Other than that 5 stars across!

Absolutely magnificent

This place was absolutely beautiful. The house, the location, the waterfall, the atmosphere, etc. I could sit on the porch all day and listen to the waterfall. On a clear night the sky was filled with stars, we got to see a few shooting stars as well. Well worth the 13 plus hour drive to get here. I would definitely stay again.

A Beautiful Home sitting on the Stunning Falls

The home offers an absolutely stunning view of Crystal Falls. During our stay, we went hinking to the Giant Falls, Devil's Slide, Artitist Bluff, and Sabbaday Falls. It was a memorable stay for all of us (two adults and one dog).

Beautiful waterfall right off the deck. Clean. Lots of room. If you arrive at night, know that the entrance with the keypad is on the left. We had trouble finding it in the dark. But very nice stay!

Wonderful and Relaxing

My sister and her husband stayed at this fabulous house for 4 days. I couldn’t go but they had a wonderful experience. The house was spotless and cozy. The waterfalls were beautiful and they fell asleep listening to the falls. They sat out on the deck with a glass of wine and dinner. They definitely will be going back and I will be joining them! It’s a great place to just reset.

Amazing stay at Crystal Falls

House was great! Clean, spacious, comfy, wonderful host and location was absolutely beautiful. I could have spent the entire week just sitting on the deck listing to the falls. We enjoyed riding our quads up the road to the trails and also trailering them to other trails in the area. Christine lake is beautiful. I couldnt believe how clear the water is. Everything about our trip was amazing. Thank you

Stunning

We lover this place, it look better than the pictures, lot of space, the bathroom is beautiful, the master bedroom is facing the waterfalls. They have all supplies you need like you are at home. The water falls in the back are great - They are called Crystal Waterfalls - After the bridge cross all the cement mural and walk on the woods pad a bit further and there is a spot with sand to relax in the water. Cold but great. Stunning house and waterfall. Thank you to the house owner for the communication and hospitality. We loved your place.
