We had the best weekend at this home! The most comfortable beds we have ever slept on at a Vrbo. The house was perfect- had everything we needed in the location we wanted. The view from the living room was incredible— looking right out at the river. The pictures didn’t really show the living room seating so I was a bit nervous, but the couch comfortably sat our family of 5. House was stocked with all the basics and even had board games for our kids. Everything in the home was even more beautiful in person, and communication with the host was excellent too. We will definitely be coming back!

Family skii get away

Everything was nice as advertised. Two improvements would include making the address visible from street ( may have been barried under snow pile) and disclose snow removal frequency and responsibility during winter months.

Beautiful property

Our stay was great. The cabin is nice, great layout, fully stocked and the property is beautiful! Just a few minutes from Crystal Mountain. This accommodated our family (4 adults and 2 kids) well, and it was a great value, especially compared to lodging at Crystal Mountain. Host was responsive and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again next time we're in town.

Excellent property!

This is the perfect place for couple or family to experience MI. The cabin is newly remodeled and is very clean, organized, and comfortable. The Betsie River is in the backyard and you are surrounded by trees. I am an avid birdwatcher and enjoyed coffee on the back deck every morning while watching the birds. The kitchen is well-stocked with all you need to cook your own meals. There were plenty of dishes, flatware, pots/pans, coffeemaker, crock pot, and a very nice gas grill. The back deck has two lounger chairs along with a high top table and 4 chairs. Firepit in the backyard, too. Owner also provided towels and bedding. There is a gas station and grocery store nearby as well. We highly recommend staying at this property.

Mosquito Haven

This cabin has a nicely renovated main floor, bath and loft. The kitchen is well equipped and very workable.... though during our stay, the gas range did not work properly. The host insinuated that we bumped a burner off kilter....there was definitely something unsafe with it! The host is a bit defensive and takes several hours to respond to concerns. The description of amenities is a bit embellished too. LOTS of mosquitos, no "playground"...just a wet, mowed riverbank area. The "gym" is in the unfinished damp basement and consists of two pieces of equipment with leftover construction materials and weed/bug poisons nearby. There is also a "half" door that separates the basement from the main living area. Humid, musty air is constantly coming from the basement! The "guest house" is VERY close and can be noisy. Lastly....there is a RING doorbell, so the host can know when and who is coming and going. We did not like that!!!! A bit pricey for where and what it is.

The property was nice and quiet, surrounded by natures beauty, the pictures do not do it justice. The cabin was perfect, very clean, well kept, and simply beautiful. Chris is very pleasant and helpful. My family and I will for sure be back for another visit.
