Property was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Owner communication was very responsive. Very quiet retreat overlooking the Betsie River. Deck was our favorite part and plenty of room with tables and chairs to accommodate everyone. Cabin had a great "up north" feel to it and plenty of room with all utensils that we needed. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Fantastic Location

Rebecca is wonderful to work with--she's very responsive and helpful. This was our second stay in the cabin and we'd love to make it an annual tradition. The cabin is spacious, well-stocked and very well-maintained. The location is wonderfully quiet and feels secluded.

Very Relaxing Stay

Great stay, great value

We had a group of 10 staying at the Betsie cabin to celebrate a 50th anniversary and it worked out exceptionally well. The check-in process was simple and easy, communication with Rebecca was prompt and responsive, and the teens all enjoyed getting in the river. We appreciated the privacy of the cabin while still being close enough to things to do. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay was so nice! The iron fish distillery is a mile away. It’s secluded with the beautiful river with easy access to the river. Location is great if you don’t want to stay in Sleeping Bear Dunes or Traverse but want to enjoy those locations for a day trip.

This place was great for our big family. Plenty of bedrooms and beds. Three bathrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked even though we didn’t cook anything. We just ate our breakfast there. The only problem we had was our GPS said we arrived but it was the property before the one we needed. Also the address numbers by the road had one number missing. All in all a great place. Just know you are not close to anything such as gas stations and stores.
