Summary: This cottage, "Shanty" is a rustic camp on a property with three other cottages and a resident home. There is a pretty sandy beach perfect for swimming and simply enjoying both sunrises and sunsets. The lake has loons and good fishing. Alton Bay is only 17 minutes away if you need a short trip to a restaurant or market.

Summary: We had a wonderful week at Crystal Acres. We stayed in the Shanty cabin, it was spotless and very comfortable. We were able to bring our dog, which made the week even more enjoyable. The beach front on the lake was perfect and we also enjoyed the use of the kayaks. We took advantage of the fire pit on the beach several nights. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy the idyllic location. We hope to return in the future.

Summary: Sue & her daughter were very welcoming & accommodating to my family. The shanty was fine for us but the lake was truly fantastic. Beautiful mountain views, a swim dock to jump off and all sorts of kayaks & canoes to choose from. We enjoyed the beach, swimming & fishing in the lake & hiking some nearby trails. If you're looking for a peaceful week away Crystal Acres is the place.

Summary: When we arrived we were greeted with smiles and words of welcome. The hospitality of the owners was over the top. The property is very well maintained and safe for kids and adults. The beach is well groomed, sand toys are provided, water crafts were available and they even had plenty of chairs on the beach. All we had to bring was our clothes, food, and personal items. Full kitchen allowed us to cook for the entire family and saved money. We were so happy with our stay that we booked for next summer. Thank you for an awesome time!!!

Summary: I was very lucky to stumble on the wonderful secret that is Crystal Acres. It is completely family run by the kindest people, from hosting a bon fire and cocktails on the beach, giving us their wifi password when the wifi in our cabin went out in a storm, to helping us retrieve something we left behind. They were even very accommodating to our 4 month old puppy, who is still being trained (and not always well behaved). The beach by the lake is so nice and you really can get the best of both worlds (beach and mountains, that is) with the sand to lay out in sun and dig your feet in and the incredible view of the mountains on the other side of the lake. There are more than enough canoes and kayaks for everyone with life jackets of all sizes. Usually planning a getaway for my family starts with deciding if we want to hike and boat in the mountains or lounge on the beach. Well, here you can do both to your hearts content!

Summary: We had a wonderful week! Weather did not play along but the cottage was cozy and comfortable for us to hang out. Swimming, kayaking and enjoying the lake was beautiful and peaceful. Thank you to the Cloutman family for making our stay so nice. Highly recommended to stay here!

Summary: We had the most amazing week at Crystal Acres! The cabin we stayed in was perfect size for our family and we loved the screened porch. Everything was clean and the kitchen well stocked. The lake is warm and there was so much to do on the property we never left except to grab groceries at one point. We swam every day. The owners are lovely and welcoming. We very much look forward to hopefully returning next summer!
