The only beach front property on the lake with event space, lodging and meal service.

It feels like you are in a beautiful dream the moment the meandering quaint two-lane road opens up to the view of Crystal Lake. You may find you catch your breath and settle into the sweet slow speeds to admire the water’s blue hues on one side of your vehicle and the adorable houses on the other. Curving around the road sets a mindful tone as one heads to Crystal Conference Center; the whole vibe immediately puts one at ease.

To live on Crystal Lake in Michigan is a blessing no one takes for granted, but to be able to rent lodging or event space at a camp and conference center is an unexpected delight.

Crystal Conference Center provided a place for many years for church members to gather and enjoy the camaraderie of togetherness in such a stunning location. The owners continue to join together and spend time on the property and they also offer it to other groups of people looking for a place to gather.

Unique to Crystal Lake

In many ways, Crystal Conference is unique to the event and lodging industry. It is not just a conference center, nor just an event space, or a camp, it is all three. It is also the only event space which also provides hotel alternative-style lodging on the lake – a combination that makes for a sought-after location. Where else do you find an outdoor/indoor experience that can house small and large groups, and provide meals, where guests can walk across the street to enjoy sunbathing, swimming, canoeing, or fishing?
