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+.
