About this property

Betsie River Log Cabin near Crystal Mountain!

Our cabin has a main floor living space that includes a living room, full kitchen, bathroom with stand up shower, and laundry room. Upstairs you will find two open loft areas. We have a king size bed on one side with a brand new 12 inch foam mattress. The other side has two full size beds. The stairs are a bit steep. We have motion sensing lights on the stairs for navigating them in the dark. The lower level is accessible by walking around the back of the house. We have a game room set up there with ping pong, safety darts, ladder toss, yard pong, and corn hole! The lower level garage opens up the room and creates a fantastic indoor/outdoor space. We have a firepit in the backyard also! Our cabin has private frontage on the Betsie River. There is a path through the woods to access the river frontage. It's great for summer swimming and fishing!
Other things to note
We have nightly pet fee of $25 per pet. We will send you a separate request for this fee. In "high season" (Dec-Feb and Memorial Day to Labor Day we require a 3 night minimum stay.

Cozy log cabin

Our family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights for a ski weekend at Crystal mountain. It was very close and perfect for our needs. My wife even commented that it was the cleanest cabin we’ve ever rented. Highly recommend.

Cute little cabin

Great dog friendly property super close to Crystal Mountain (can see it from the window)! Check in/check out process was extremely easy and stress free which was a HUGE plus. Beautiful property with the perfect “Up North” feel. Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful cabin

This cabin was wonderful. All we needed to pack were clothes - everything qas there that we needed. The bed was comfortable and the setting is beautiful. Super short drive to Crystal Mountain and about a half hr to Sleeping Bear. Owners were quick to respond to questions and provided lots of details, including fun things to do in the area. Definitely recommend.

Perfect getaway!

We had a wonderful time staying at Betsie River Cabin. The set-up was perfect for me, my sister, and our 4 kids. The cabin was cozy and super clean. Not even a single insect! Beds were very comfy and the kitchen was well supplied with dishes/appliances. Convenient drive to Frankfort and Beulah, 45 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We had a blast and would love to return!

Up North Stay

August 4-7, 2024. The modern log cabin with a rustic look and feel was very charming and provided all the necessities for a comfortable up north stay. The steep stairs leading up to the sleeping quarters could be difficult for those with hip or leg disabilities or young children and care is needed getting out of bed so as not to run into the low ceiling beams. Forest solitude and privacy is absent as a clear view of a neighbor's home is within 50 feet and Kurick Rd. (paved 55 mph) is within 100 ft of the cabin making road noise apparent at all times of the day.
