Amazing place to take in the pristine Michigan wilderness

Clean, well provisioned, and very comfortable place to stay. The outdoor setup is amazing. Great fire pit and deck. Also right on the river, and very close to other outdoor activities / entertainment. Would definitely book again

Great stay at the cabin in the woods!

Excellent location close to Crystal Mountain and Iron Fish Distillery. We loved the privacy of the location and being right on the Betsie River. The house was the perfect cabin experience! Owner was great with all communications. We would love to come back and stay again!

"Best VRBO ever"- everyone in our group

Group of friends stayed here for a long weekend and what a great set up. Host clearly takes pride in the place. Very obvious that they put in a lot of work for it to be a warm, welcoming and enjoyable experience.

AMAZING STAY!

This was an absolutely perfect get away. Beautiful spot, a quick walk down the hill to the river, and amazing fire pit to spend the evenings! Everything was exactly as advertised, and the owner went above and beyond to accommodate us MULTIPLE times! Incredible experience, and we will be back next year! I would recommend this space to anyone!

Good Spot. Great Firepit!

None of the pictures showed the fire pit and it is the star of this property! The accommodations were good, but lacking a big table to eat indoors or play board games. It sleeps eight, but unless you’re outside at the huge firepit or ant the outside table on the deck, it only “feeds three or four”. Loved the location.

Betsie River Property

Great location with private access to Betsie. Description understates how great the access to Betsie really is. We wanted a secluded stay for a few days following visiting Chicago but still have a ton of activities available for the kids. This place delivered. Check out the distillery, ski mountain for chair lift for mountain biking all within a couple minutes. Crystal Lake and town is 10-15 minutes and Sleeping Bear is 30-45 minutes for a great day trip.

Nice place and peaceful though led to believe river access

The cabin is nice and peaceful. Although We were far from the river and it could not be seen from the house, which we assumed. . Also the address needs to be added to the tree on private lane where all other addresses are added. Got a good vibe after communicating with the owner.

Great stay!

The stay was very pleasant. Only thing that would have made it better would have been screens in the windows so we could have some air circulation without bugs. The cabin has no HVAC so this was the only option and they were home for cleaning instead of on the property. Otherwise great stay, easy communication and once we found the cabin, it was easy to navigate to places from it. First time pulling up, there was a lack of signage to find the property and ended up going to the neighbors first to ask for directions.

A Treasure in the Woods

We hosted a small family reunion in this beautiful and peaceful cabin. Everything about the cabin is well done and inviting and perfect for a group that wants to be together. We loved the outdoor fire pit, and used the generous outdoor table and seating for meals, games and crafts. The kitchen has all the equipment you need and the appliances are new. Sleeping upstairs is one private room and the rest is loft style. The river is an added bonus; we saw birds, turtles, and deer; did some fishing. We ran on the country roads and hiked nearby trails. Frankfort is 20 minutes away if you need some beach time. The location is a bit remote and that was new for us but the privacy was an added bonus. The host was very available and responsive.

Great cabin in the woods

Great cabin on a beautiful 10 acres of woods with direct access to the Betsie river. All the modern comforts with a rustic touch. Fishing on the river, outdoor fire pit, kayaks, star gazing and hiking around the property were very enjoyable. Also made our way to Crystal Mountain (5-10 Minutes away) and Sleeping Bear Dunes (40-45 minutes away). Perfect amount of quiet time in the woods and enjoying these two great areas. Mindy, the property owner was very hospitable and easily accessible from booking through check out.

Amazing Log Cabin on the Betsie River

We booked here for our summer trip which included Frankfort, Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Leland/fishtown. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. Wifi and Roku TV worked great. Two enclosed bedroom spaces and an open loft with sleeping space - the fire pit was great for s'mores. Our kids loved running down the path to the river. This was a secluded woodsy property and perfect to come home to after our local adventures. Definitely would stay again!
