About this property

Woodland Escape with Stunning Riverfront Views

  • This comfortable, updated home sits alongside the Betsie River. It boasts a screen room for fresh air. There is also a 3 season room for relaxing and watching the river. Many folks canoeing down the river have exclaimed, "You have the best water frontage on this river!" With a wide, easy walking path to the river's edge, it is easy to enjoy over 400 ft of private frontage. A campfire next to the river, swimming or fishing are regular activities. A deep, popular fishing hole is an easy cast from the grass. Sit at the river's edge in the sun, or in the shade from the trees. Sit around an outdoor bonfire while watching the river.

    Crystal Mountain resort is a two minute drive. Sleeping Bear Dunes is a 40 minute drive. Multiple golf courses are a short drive. Any questions, please call me 616-218-1301.

This is a fantastic place, tucked away in the woods but also close to everything. We stayed here while enjoying a weekend of skiing at Crystal Mountain- it was close to the mountain, very clean, had everything we needed, and the views of the trees covered in snow were magical. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

An easy process from start to finish! We were there for the weekend to attend a wedding at a local venue. We couldn't have asked for better communication, even letting us check in early so my grandson could get unpacked and attend the Friday night rehearsal dinner. Thank you Bill and Holly for sharing your home! We only regret not having enough time to enjoy some fishing and use the fire pit by the river. A very nice home/location for anyone looking to stay in the area.Darlene W.

Great Weekend Away

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was perfect for our 2 families. Close to Crystal for skiing and down the road from the distillery. We would come again in the winter or summer.

Perfect!

Beautiful home located on the river. Close to Crystal Mountain was the perfect retreat for our family! Home had everything you needed, and the host went out of their way to make sure they answered any of our questions and made the check in process so easy. We got 12 inches of snow while there and the host made sure the driveway was plowed every day! Absolutely loved our stay and Look forward to staying there again.

Annual salmon fishing trip

Our second time with Bill and Holly fishing their lovely Betsie Rver property! Fishing was good for Salmon here early October. Enjoyed the fires at night down at the river. Good time for myself, brother and son. Highly recommend Bills property here in Thompsonville!

Highly Recommended

The listing pictures don't do this property justice! Well stocked, comfortable property with the feeling of seclusion but close to everything. The river access is better than expected and had salmon and trout waiting for us in the backyard. The owner's communication was great, check in and check out were simple with no crazy chores to do before we left. Can't recommend this place enough - it's the perfect base camp for Northern Michigan!

Quiet and Secluded

Loved the house and property! Well off the roadway. Very quiet with river (creek) below. Fire pit is a brief walk downstream. Doe and (2) fawns visited about every other day. Could have fished if we had brought the poles. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. No complaints.

Great Vacation House!

My family and I have stayed in the Betsie River Dream House for two years in a row and we love it! The house is in the woods, but it's in a great location for a summer vacation. 15 mins to Beulah, 25ish mins to Frankfort & Elberta, 45 mins to Sleeping Bear Dunes and 45 mins to Traverse City. All of us also love the river flowing through the backyard and my kids love playing in the Betsie! The house is a great, clean and recently renovated house. We've shared the house with a couple of other family members and it works so well to have two downstairs bedrooms and the larger upstairs bedroom. The screened in porch and sunroom are also great features that allow people to spread out throughout the house. Thank you so much for another great stay, we hope to be back in the future! One suggestion: Adding some hooks to the backs of doors in the bedrooms and bathrooms would be helpful, and make hanging towels easier.
