Crystal Mountain resort is doing its part to help families save vacation dollars this summer with a host of travel deals. Here’s one that caught our eye.
They call it the Pure Michigan Family Vacation. It works like this. The package starts at $199 per night for a family, and it includes access to a wide range of activities that the resort is offering this summer on its 1,500-acre site. Highlights of the package include nightly lodging and unlimited access to the water park called Park at Water’s Edge, Crystal Coaster alpine slide, twilight Vertical Edge climbing wall, twilight golf on the Betsie Valley course, twilight bike rental, chairlift rides, hikes through the Michigan Legacy Art Park, access to the Peak Pool & Fitness Center, disc golf, outdoor movies, family field games, family bonfires and more. For an active family with a couple / few kids, all those free extras would really add up to a ton of value, and leave the kids nicely exhausted by the end of the day. Check it out further at crystalmountain.com or book it. Crystal Mountain is a half hour southwest of Traverse City.
