Crystal Mountain Resort - Thompsonville Rentals

Where is Crystal Mountain Resort, MI?

You’ll find our Crystal Mountain Resort house rentals in the town of Thompsonville, located in northwest Michigan. The winters yield tons of fresh, powdery snow—over 11 feet per year—making it a dream destination for skiers. Thompsonville is just 45 minutes southwest of Traverse City, where you’ll find great food, breweries, and even more outdoor activities.

Skiing near our Crystal Mountain Resort rentals

If you’re coming for the ski season, you won’t be disappointed. Book yourself a pass to enjoy Crystal Mountain’s 58 downhill slopes with 102 acres of skiable terrain. Don’t worry if you’re a novice skier, as there are a number of lessons available for all ages and skill levels. Cruise down the fresh powder or explore over 15 miles of cross-country skiing trails—including night lighted trails. If that’s not enough action for you, try your hand at fat tire snow biking or snowmobiling. Or you can practice your spins with a fun afternoon of ice skating, or even cozy up for a romantic horse-drawn surrey ride.

While there’s certainly something to be said for Thompsonville in the winter, it’s the abundance of year-round activities that make this place so special. A summer or spring visit only means more possibilities for having fun.

Our Crystal Mountain Resort house rentals are near two incredible golf courses—Mountain Ridge and Betsie Valley—both of which are four-star rated by Golf Digest.

Thrill seekers will love trying activities like a zip-line, ropes course, climbing wall, and outdoor laser tag. There’s even an alpine slide, where you can careen down a 1,700-foot track on a specially-designed sled for an unforgettable ride.

No trip to Michigan would be complete without seeing one of the Great Lakes, and our Crystal Mountain Resort rentals are just minutes away from the vast beauty of Lake Michigan.
