Great location and very clean
Host was very responsive and quick with answers to my questions. Property was very clean and well supplied. The 4 bedrooms were perfect for our 2 families of 4 plus grandparents. Kids had fun swimming in the river. Great proximity to crystal mountain and sleeping bear dunes. The temps were in the mid 80’s and muggy with out much breeze so the upstairs bedrooms were quite warm at night. We really appreciated the numerous fans. No A/C. Overall it was a perfect house for our stay.

Perfect tucked away place
Beautiful home! It was so much more than we expected. Beautiful interior with so much interest. For a larger group nice features were an entry where extra items could be placed and then there was another area for extra stuff. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this home is top of list of you are looking for a remote relaxing location. Our kids tubbed down the river!

This cabin exceeded our expectations. There were so many thoughtful amenities and the whole place was designed for a great stay. We had a rainy weekend and were actually happy that it gave us an excuse to stay at the cabin rather than go to the beach.

We had a great time in this quiet cabin. The fishing was great. Only recommendation would be to address the stairs to the river. Still an awesome place.

The property was beautiful, relaxing and very spacious! We had 6 adults, 5 children and an infant with us during our stay and there was plenty of room (and bathrooms) for all of us! We loved hanging out on the back deck and going down to the river.

Our stay was so nice! The iron fish distillery is a mile away. It’s secluded with the beautiful river with easy access to the river. Location is great if you don’t want to stay in Sleeping Bear Dunes or Traverse but want to enjoy those locations for a day trip.

We absolutely loved staying here. The cabin was beautiful, clean, well stocked. All 14 of us women slept comfortably. The property with the beautiful river was so peaceful. Close to fun places including Frankfort, the beach and Ironfish. Communication with Rebecca was great, she responded so quickly when we had a question!

Nice Cabin in good location
The property was nice and communication with the owner was very good. We have stayed at other similar properties in the area and although we did have a good stay, I will add the following: When we arrived, several of our guests had driven to Michigan from Pennsylvania that day. When we arrived and went to start dinner, we uncovered the grill and saw it was a charcoal grill which is a first for us. We like using charcoal, but there wasn't any available there, or charcoal lighter. Not knowing the area, off we went in search or charcoal on a Sunday evening. The Hardware was closed, and after doing some searches, we found a Dollar store, and 2 hours after trying to grill, we were in business. I sent an email to the owner, and she responded that it says this in their property description, which it didn't. Then, later that evening when we went to have a campfire and we walked over to the wood pile, it had a sign that we could not use their wood!!! We have cords of wood at our property piled up, and again, if we had known this, we would have brought our own. at this point, it was too late to run out, and we decided that we would not use the fire pit and do a wood supplier search for the rest of the trip. These items are provided at every other rental that we have had. Believe it or not, there are people that do not know how to use a charcoal grill properly and not to have a gas grill is not a good decision. Lastly, if you are old like us, know that the stairs to the river are long

Fun family escape
We loved our time at this cabin! We had enough room for three families and the grandparents comfortably. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen essentials. The linens and sheets were clean and fresh. There was a fan in every room, which helped on the hot days. The fire pit was in great location. The back deck was really enjoyable with a beautiful view. The river was beautiful and we did walk through one evening. Be warned that right under the dock the water is deep and when you get into the river from the ladder the river bottom gets very slippery - so wear water shoes.

Great stay, great value
We had a group of 10 staying at the Betsie cabin to celebrate a 50th anniversary and it worked out exceptionally well. The check-in process was simple and easy, communication with Rebecca was prompt and responsive, and the teens all enjoyed getting in the river. We appreciated the privacy of the cabin while still being close enough to things to do. Would definitely recommend.

Great Property! Helpful Owner!
Very much enjoyed our guys' weekend at this property. Great, secluded location on the river. Comfortable beds, great set up. Rebecca was very responsive and helpful. Our only complaint was that the refrigerator went out during our stay, but that is life (hardly the owner's fault). Overall, highly recommended!
