About Us

Who are We?

Crystal Lake Café was originally built in 1934 as a tent store. It was expanded over the years to a Cafe and Trading Post. Eventually, cabins for rent were added.

In 2002, Adam Samrah bought the Café - shortly before a fire destroyed many houses and cabins in the area. Adam, who owned a cabin at that time, survived the fire with his friend by taking refuge in a little pond. For 10 years after the fire, Highway 39 up to Crystal Lake was closed, and so was the Café.

Finally, in March 2011, Highway 39 was reopened, allowing Adam to open the Crystal Lake Café, as well. Since then, he has been operating the Café with his wife, Roula, who has become reknowned for making the best Homemade Brownies and Banana-nut Bread.
