Exceptional Stay

My group of friends stayed in the cabin for a girls weekend getaway and it was absolutely perfect. The cabin was very clean and had all the ammenities that we needed. The owners were wonderful hosts. They checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and to see if there were any issues. They even provided information on activities within the area and the river. Highly suggest spending time on the Betsie river, it was beautiful and relaxing, we even enjoyed the canoe.

Nice private location

We had a few glitches with our stay. It was super hot and one of the bedrooms only windows was broken so there was no ventilation. This rooms ceiling fan was wobbly and noisy and the oscillating fan was broken. The main bedroom was comfortable without any issues. The living room and kitchen were also nice and spacious. The deck off of the living room was very dirty as was the outside furniture. The cover for the hot tub is super heavy so it was a bit of a struggle to open. We also had to sweep and clean the deck around it.

Such a pleasant stay

If you're wanting something close to Crystal Mountain, but not stuck in the middle of the crowd... this is it! A hot tub, plenty of beds, a wood-burning stove to dry out gloves and ski boots after a day on the hills are all perfect ways to relax. This is our third consecutive year booking at this property for a reason.

Birthday party snowboard trip

Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay. This was a surprise birthday trip for my girlfriend and her friends which included two other couples. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money, but also know that my girlfriend enjoys the finer things in life, so I know it needed to be nice. I was slightly worried about her not thinking the house was nice enough, but once you step foot in this adorable and extremely clean and homey feeling Cabin, those worries went out the door. You’re greeted with a beautiful view of the Betsy River from a large sliding glass door with a fireplace. We were both pleasantly surprised. The pictures actually don’t do the inside justice. It’s about 15 minutes to Crystal Mountain and 10 to 20 minutes away from most restaurants. We had a tiny bit of trouble getting a fire started simply because there was no kindling and not enough newspaper to start it up, but after some efforts, we got it going. The hot tub was beautiful and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen was extremely clean and inviting. My girlfriend was impressed and it was a perfect place to stay. My only negative point would be that although it sleeps eight, there are only two bedrooms. If you have more than two couples that would like privacy, they may have to sleep on the couch. Would definitely rent again! I also would recommend the iron fish to eat dinner, however, their drinks are elaborate and have have everything in the kitchen mixed in. Order something simple if you have a sensitive pall.

Winter ski trip stay

The cabin was great! We loved the hot tub and woodstove. It was perfect for our running group to do a long weekend ski trip. It is very clean. The only thing to make sure of is that you fully understand the bed arrangements. In our group, there was only one couple who wanted to share a bed. In the listing, we misunderstood how many rooms and beds there were (if people are not up for sharing a bed, there are 6 sleeping places) which meant one of us slept on the couch. It wasn’t a big deal, we had just read it badly. So read carefully! Other then that, it’s a great space and it was perfect for us.
