Supporting a small, family ran business was just one of the highlights. The boat was spotless and basically new. It had everything stocked and well organized. The pick up experience was flawless and very efficient, as was the drop off at the end of the rental. Fuel is also included in the rental price, so we didn't even have to refuel at the end of the experience. I honestly can't recommend full pull enough, if you're looking for a boat rental in Manistee/Onekama, look no further. We'll definitely be back next year.

Renters BEWARE!!!! I would not recommend renting the Aspen cabin from Jeff with Crystal Adventures!…read moreWe had a horrible experience at this cabin. Upon arrival, we discovered a lady bug/beetle infestation. The dishes in the kitchen cabinets were dirty and also had beetles on them. The kitchen is also not a full kitchen as advertised. of the two bedrooms, one of them does not have heat, and the other one has a hidden baseboard heater which you are not made aware of. This resulted in us sleeping without heat before the first night. The bathrooms are absolutely filthy. Only 2 of us (out of 6 people) showered the entire weekend as the showers were very unclean. We had dog hair in the sheets of our bed. We realize mistakes can happen with cleaners so tried to work with the property owner, Jeff in hopes of working something out and issuing a partial refund for everything we encountered last weekend. He was very unprofessional and left us no choice but to contact AirBNB for help. After seeing our photos and videos, they agreed that we deserved a partial refund. I just wanted to help inform others to avoid renting from Crystal Adventures at all costs! It was a very unfortunate situation for our family.

The river was just beautiful and less busy than others in the area. In hindsight I wish we had each gotten our own kayaks instead of doubling up in canoes as the river is tricky to navigate in the larger sized vessel at times. I'll definitely come back to Crystal Adventures.

This was an amazing trip which ends close to where the river flows into lake Michigan. The water was super clear and I highly recommend this trip.

You do have to pay for parking though when you drop off your vehicle which stinks.

They provide life jackets, paddles, canoes, kayaks, tubes, and multiple different sizes of rafts, along with a map of where to go and finish and a driver to pick you up after your trip. The ride itself was very relaxing, there wasn't a person on the river while I was rafting. The wildlife and nature was beautiful, herons, geese, ducks, and turtles. The price was very reasonable, $120 for a 4 person raft for 3hrs, with a driver included to pick you and the raft up. I will definitely be back to go rafting again, it's a great option for those who don't like to get wet in the river, or for chillier days!

We drove past the Tiki bar this weekend on our way to a brewery and I made my boyfriend turn around…read moreand stop there. A cute tiki bar on the river with live music, fire pit and margarita slushies sounded like the perfect place to be. We sat down at the bar and weren't greeted for at least 15 minutes. There were probably 10-13 other patrons around so we gave some grace even though we prefer a "Hey I'll be with you shortly" or whatever else. One lady came over to us looking grumpy and said (referring to the other woman behind the bar) "she isn't a bartender so if you think she's ignoring you, she's not). We said okay thanks, no worries. another 10 minutes goes by while we watch the "non-bartender" pour quite a few beers for people who arrived after us. Very confusing and a bit upsetting that we had now been sitting for almost half an hour without even getting our drinks placed. As soon as we agreed to leave, the grumpy woman asked for our orders with a scowl on her face. During our order, the non-bartender asked her a question about a beer being on draft vs the bottle. The lady answered her, rolled her eyes and said "what else" to us with attitude. We were so uncomfortable and felt lied to. My excitement about this place quickly went down. I would rate one star, but the place could be so great with better employees/better system. Google reviews showed multiple reviews about the same grumpy woman. Unless she is the owner, maybe it's time to find someone else...
