Great weekend getaway
I stayed here with some friends for a weekend golf trip. It’s a nice, quiet, and clean cabin with a number of restaurants and golf courses nearby. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great time!
Overall experience was amazing!! We definitely want to come back for another trip. Very peaceful and relaxing! If you like the wilderness and being around woods and water then this is a place for you. The cabin does hold at least 12 people and room to spare. So big families are not exempt.

Perfect Family Getaway
This was an absolute beauty of a cabin. We had a very delightful and memorable stay this past Easter. Everything was clean and they even had extra comforters, blankets, pillows, towels, detergent, firewood, games, etc. We will definitely be recommending with our family and friends. You won’t regret your stay!

Fun with friends
The house was beautiful and well equipped. The setting was so peaceful. The area close to the river could use a little T.L.C., but it is apparent they have been working on replacing sections. I would highly recommend staying here.

Siblings Weekend
Wonderful Weekend! Ideal location right on the Betsie River. This place was spotless and had anything and everything you could need for a enjoyable stay. Huge dining table that easily set 12. Stacy was easily accessible and prompt with info about the area. Making plans to stay again next year now.

Five Stars!
This vacation was awesome! Plenty of room for our family. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We cook on vacation and have family meals, there was enough room for everyone! The property was absolutely beautiful! We loved the fall colors and the river. We have grown children and they loved this cabin. My son actually said “this is my favorite”. (We take our kids on a short vacation every fall in Michigan.) This Cabin and location is 5 stars!

Nice get away.
We really enjoyed our time at the cabin. It has an open kitchen space which made it feel very homey. Had everything we needed to host a thanksgiving dinner. The basement was very cold even though we turned up the heat. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. My only remark would be that the trash cans in the bedrooms weren’t empty from previous guess or housecleaning crew/person.

Family Trip
This was our 3rd time staying at the property and it was great as usual. We couldn’t ski due to the weather but had no problem finding things to do in the area. The house is large enough to fit several families and a huge bedroom downstairs for the adult kids to hang out. I must say it would be nice if the furnace was WiFi and the owners could bump up the heat prior to our arrival as it was only 58 degrees in the house but it did heat up fairly quickly and was not a big deal. Thanks for having us and I’m sure we’ll be back in the future!!

Family Vaca
This was a perfect location for skiing and visiting local places of interest in the area. The kitchen, eating area and lounging made it perfect for our family activities. Had a little trouble with tv but owner was willing to rectify the problem quickly. If all our family had stayed the bathroom situation would have been a little tight, but all in all we would rent the cabin again.

Nice place to stay
Overall nice place. We were expecting a fire pit near the river along with a seating area due to the pics and description of watching kayakers go by. It was over grown and the fire pit was off to the side of the house, not down by the river. There also was not a very good selection of pots to be used. We were glad to have brought some of our own kitchen supplies

Great House!
We had a great time with a big group. The only complaint I have is that 2 of the bedrooms in the basement do not have windows so technically should not be counted as bedrooms. There was also only one remote that worked for the tvs. The other remote did not have batteries. We had a nice fire, caught a few fish and we would rent again.
