Crystal Spa is located at Crystal Mountain, a four-season resort located in northwest lower Michigan.

Crystal Spa has earned its reputation as one of Michigan’s—and America’s—favorite spas. Set at a year-round resort that caters to both golfers and skiers (and in the right season—mushroom pickers), Crystal Spa is a stand-alone building designed to delight its guests.

In fact, people who stay in resorts all along the Northern Michigan shore will often include a visit to Thompsonville’s Crystal Spa as part of their trip because of the expertise of the staff and the beauty of the building.

In addition to their standard spa menu offerings, each season Crystal Spa staff create new treatments with products that give guests a taste of Pure Michigan and speak to the needs of the current climate and environment.

Brittney Buti, Manager of Public Relations, shared with us what makes Crystal Spa such a coveted destination.
