Riverfront Cabin Retreat – Sleeps Up to 18 on the Betsie River

Escape to The Betsie River Cabin, a stunning retreat nestled in a private, wooded setting along the serene Betsie River. Perfect for large groups, this 6-bedroom haven sleeps up to 18, with a spacious kids’ room, 2.5 baths, and an open floor plan designed for connection. Whip up meals in the fully stocked kitchen, gather around the large dining table, or fire up the Weber gas grill on the wraparound deck for a summer barbecue.

Step outside to your private riverfront oasis—watch kayakers glide by from the wooden deck, cast a line for salmon, or unwind by the outdoor fire pit under the stars. Kids will love the play set and games, while adults can soak in the peaceful vibe. On cooler nights, cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace inside.

Just 4 miles from Crystal Mountain Resort, enjoy golfing, hiking, or skiing. Sip local spirits at Iron Fish Distillery (1 mile away), explore Frankfort’s charm (25 minutes), or venture to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (45 minutes). Whether it’s fishing, hiking trails, or winery visits, adventure awaits nearby.

Book your week-long summer stay—or a cozy weekend retreat—and make memories at this Betsie River gem! No smoking or pets; primary renter must be 25+.

Beautiful House and Property
The house is very spacious and was very comfortable for 13 in our group. Common area was roomy and opened to kitchen and outdoor deck, with access to Betsie River.in back yard. Beautiful trees and landscape, very private. We enjoyed the firepit and grill on the wrap around deck. We were there for a three day fishing on the Betsie with a lot of cooking inside and out, and we had everything we needed.

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.

A beautiful place and a charming house.
It is a very nice and beautiful place - just as described. Easy check-in and check-out. We rented it for Thanksgiving and asked for an early check-in, and the owner agreed without any issues. The only problem was the temperature. When we arrived, the thermostat was set to 51F, and it felt noticeably cold. Among us were a few elderly people, for whom the first few hours were difficult until the temperature rose to 65F. The owners should set the thermostat higher before our arrival so we wouldn't have to be wrapped in blankets and quilts during Thanksgiving dinner.

Great place for family reunion
Great room and kitchen combo ideal for hanging out. Plenty of seating and well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful deck and screen porch. Not all bedrooms have windows, no AC (but weather cool so ok)

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 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.

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!!
