House was perfect spot for family trip to upper Michigan! Hosts were terrific. We had 6 adults & 4 kids 8 & under. Clean & plenty of space for each family to have their own space and also gather together. Place was very well equipped with kitchen supplies, plenty of towels, lots of amenities. Kids & adults loved the game room downstairs. Surroundings were beautiful and somewhat secluded, perfect for recharge, yet close to lots of attractions like Lake Michigan beaches & Traverse City! Would definitely stay again if in the area!
This property was amazing. Communication with the owner was excellent. Very responsive. The place was exactly as described. We had the very best time and will cherish our memories from this trip. We look forward to coming to stay again. Thank you.
David was a fabulous host! He made it so easy and perfect.The house is new and just awesome. Itâs even better than the photos.This was one of two of Davidâs houses we used for a golf trip at Arcadia Bluffs and it worked perfectly. We will be back!
We stayed for the weekend my brother caught a nice size fish from the river. And the young adults enjoyed the kayak's and the birthday party was a success
Host was responsive, gave personal advice based on the group in the area. Place was clean and well-kept, perfect for our weekend getaway and group skiing at Crystal Mountain.
This riverside cabin was clean with comfortable beds and a well-supplied kitchen. We all had a blast in the game room playing ping pong and fussball. I would love to return in the summer to take advantage of the porch, deck and River.
We had 13 of us in just after Thanksgiving for an early family Christmas getaway to celebrate. Great house and location. Quiet tucked back area and was beautiful with the snow we got. Enjoyed the fireplace and game room was a big hit with everyone. Clean house and plenty of room to spread out. One of my favorite rentals we have stayed at yet. Would love to return sometime. Thanks again for making our family vacation a great one!!
My family had a wonderful week at this property. We had fun watching the salmon swim up river, having fires and exploring the surrounding area. House had everything we needed. Thanks for everything.
Stayed with extended family for a hiking/kayaking trip
Plenty of space and well laid out for large groups. We kayaked right from the cabin and it worked great! On a dirt road that worked well for bike riding/walks.
The property was very clean. The owners were great and gave us great information and were easy to communicate with. There were a lot of activities which made our stay perfect.
Fantastic home with so many fun toys and games to keep everyone entertained. Smores at the fire pit, a very competitive cornhole game and lots of spots to lounge and read a book. Tons of places to hike nearby. Thanks to the owners for sharing this little slice if paradise
We enjoyed the area, float down the river, alpine slide, macwood dunes, light houses, grill outs, fires at night, loved all the games in the house on a rainy day with cozy movie night, zip lining, mackinaw bridge. Overall a great trip!
The property was everything that was listed and then some. Very convenient to surrounding area activities. The owners went out the way to make us feel welcome. My family is looking forward to coming back.
If youâre looking to stay local to Crystal mountain, or enjoy a peaceful evening by a campfire or near a river, this is the place! There is tons of space for sleeping and multiple levels and bathrooms. It was tucked away and very quiet making it very relaxing for a family/friends get away. The owners keep in contact very well and make you feel welcome with very simple directions to follow for check in and check out. Would recommend this property to anyone visiting this area in any season.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay- the kids really enjoyed the game room, and it was very conveniently located to Cyrstal Mountain for skiing. The only extra thing that would have been nice to have would be a hot tub, but otherwise no complaints!
My wife and family were immediately drawn to this cabin by its "up north" feel with its Betsie River location. We love having the river and access, the large and peaceful property and all of the amenities still close by. We had been casually looking over the years and we are very grateful to find the cabin we did. We enjoy fishing, kayaking, skiing and going to the beach and this location gives us all of that. Whether spring, summer, fall or winter this property provides much enjoyment for us.
As you drive down the long driveway you immediately are drawn in by the large screened-in porch. We really enjoy all of the windows in the two-story great room which provide a lot of natural light and beautiful views of the property and the river. We liked the fact that the house has five bedrooms, a loft and a basement which was hard to find. We also really enjoy the two-story great room that has an open concept with kitchen, dining and family room all in one open room. It creates a cozy, yet spacious feel. We were also looking for a house that felt like a cabin on large private property, but also wanted to be close to Crystal Mountain Resort, Lake Michigan and the many other resort towns that are in the area. The private dock gives you easy direct access to enjoy the river too. We feel this cabin gives you best of everything. This cabin provides entertainment for guests of all ages and is the perfect base camp. There is even an outdoor shower! Central Air Conditioning at the house which is more rare up north.
