Cozy family cottage near Crystal Mountain on the Betsie River.

Enjoy the quiet seclusion on 5 private acres. The property is on the Betsie River and depending on the time of the year has steelhead and salmon. Trout are in it year round. Sit on the large covered deck and enjoy the outdoors with a campfire. If you aren't a homebody, Crystal Mountain is only about 3 miles away. Great Skiing and golf are available. The Iron fish distillery is only 2 miles away and have very good food and drinks made from products grown on site. a 15-20 minute drive will get you to the beautiful beaches at Arcadia, Elberta, and Frankfort. Crystal Lake is also close by. A little longer drive and you can experience the Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Our property is a family cottage not a commercial rental. The downstairs bedrooms are small. The cottage will sleep many but just so there aren't any surprises the dining table is made for 6 people (you can fit 8). There is a covered deck with a picnic table that seats 8. The downstairs living room seats 8 and the upstairs family room seats 5. The upstairs family room and bedroom is a combined room. There is a tv upstairs that picks up local channels via an antenna. There is a HDMI cable to connect to a device. We use our iphones to stream tv.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great Cozy Cabin in beautiful private setting. Less than 10 mins from Crystal Mountain, this place was just what we needed for a long weekend ski trip. Plenty of space for our group, would be fantastic for all 4 Seasons as well!!We hope to stay here again on future trips to Crystal Mountain.

We loved this cabin! There was plenty of room for everyone, its was very cozy. Kitchen was very useful, we did a lot of cooking. Reminded me of being at my grandma’s as a kid. Would highly recommend to any other outdoor enthusiasts that want a peaceful, comfortable cabin in the wilderness. Only think I could recommend is a washer/dryer
Lots of fires and laughs

Great getaway but needed AC

We had a wonderful time at the property. It is in a nice location a short drive to Lake Michigan. The outside area was nice for a big group, fire pit, and large are to sit and visit and play games. We came during one of the hottest days of the year with temps 90, so no AC was very difficult for sleeping in the upstairs areas. I’m guessing it’s comfortable most of the year it just happened to be extremely hot during our stay.
