The Bradford *Hot Tub *King Bed *Crystal Mountain!

Andy's review "My family really enjoyed our stay at Jeff's condo. Everything in it was top-notch and exceeded our expectations - location and surroundings (balcony view was very tranquil), furnishings, decor and design, appliances and well stocked kitchen, and I can go on and on. The place felt brand-new, fresh, and well-cared for. Interlochen itself has an awesome coffeeshop, grocery store, and liquor store - all within few minutes' drive from Jeff's place. *Fast WIFI *Smart TV / Netflix *A/C
