The Betsie River Bungalow was perfect for our ski getaway this winter. The home was very comfortable, clean, and in a gorgeous location. Providing snowshoes was a fun extra that we enjoyed, trekking out into the woods. The owner is very responsive and it is obvious the guests’ needs are thoughtfully taken care of in advance. Our family definitely recommends this gem!

We enjoyed the privacy of the location and it was a short drive to Crystal Mountain. The house was perfect for our two families. The fully equipped kitchen was helpful for the cooking we did. It is a cozy place and we look forward to staying here again!

This was a perfect cottage for our ski weekend at Crystal. It was clean, well stocked and a short drive from the hill. Would recommend and would stay there again.
