Frequently Asked Questions

Redwood Lodge is our family’s cherished lake house—now available as a weekly vacation rental for other families to enjoy. This stunning 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on the North Shore of Crystal Lake and features 106 feet of private beach for your family to relax, play, and make memories.

At its core, Redwood Lodge is our family retreat. Since we can’t be here full-time, we’re honored to share it with other families seeking the peace, beauty, and joy that a Crystal Lake vacation offers.

A One-of-a-Kind Family Retreat on Crystal Lake
Redwood Lodge is a unique, architect-designed home located on the North Shore of Crystal Lake, thoughtfully built to maximize breathtaking lake views and offer private beachfront access. If you’re searching for the ideal Crystal Lake family vacation, this is it.

In a time when many rentals feel corporate or impersonal, Redwood Lodge is different. This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s our family’s lake house. When you reach out, you’ll speak directly with Andy or Jenn Beasley—the owners, not a management company.

We’ve furnished the house with love, comfort, and fun in mind. You’ll find board games, kayaks, beach toys, corn hole, and other thoughtful touches we use with our own kids.

We hope that staying here feels like visiting a friend’s lake house—warm, personal, and relaxed. When we can’t be here, we’re grateful to share this special place with families like yours.
