About this property
On the Betsie River, fish off dock, close to Crystal Mountain, trails, lakes!
Unwind and relax in this tranquil, private cabin nestled along the beautiful Betsie River in Thompsonville, Michigan. Set on 2 acres, this pristine and newly renovated property offers a spacious open floor plan, surrounded by trees and over 250 ft. of private river frontage. The Betsie River, known for its steelhead and salmon, is easily accessible with new stairs leading to the brand new dock (installed 9/2020) for fishing, tubing, kayaking, and canoeing. New exterior painting and a new roof (installed 10/2020).
Namastay offers all the comforts of home and plenty of windows to provide natural light and stunning views from any angle. There are 3 bedrooms and a loft to sleep 12 comfortably along with 2 bathrooms, one conveniently located on each level.
The main level offers the kitchen, dining and living space, sliding glass doors to the large deck, a bathroom and master bedroom with a king-sized bed. Soft, cozy bed linens, fluffy pillows and towels are provided along with a shower stall, bathtub, toiletries and a hairdryer.
The lower level offers a separate entrance with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room with a couch, coffee table, full bar, a 65’ flat screen tv, a full refrigerator and laundry room with a washer and dryer. Both bedrooms have a queen-sized bed and bunk bed.
The fully equipped kitchen includes an island, stainless steel appliances, refrigerator with ice maker, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, Keurig, toaster, dishware, cookware, pots, pans and utensils. The adjacent dining room has a gorgeous farmhouse table with seating for 8.
The Living Room offers 2 comfortable couches, a recliner, a chair/ottoman, a rocking chair, a 50’ flat screen Cable/Satellite TV with streaming service, a ceiling fan with remote control and a gas fireplace entertainment center.
This peaceful and secluded cabin offers many amenities including: air conditioning, heat, a large fire pit with seating for 12, Wi-Fi access, a BBQ gas grill, a wireless blue tooth speaker, a docking station with USB ports, board games, cornhole and a basketball hoop.
Sway in the hammock while listening to the calming sounds of nature, you may even spot the bald eagle that perches from a treetop every morning. Kick back on the 10’ x 30’ furnished deck with stunning views overlooking the river. Head out on your sled with abundant snowmobile trails or play disc golf right next to the property.
Namastay is just minutes away from the premier Crystal Mountain Ski, Golf and Spa resort. Crystal Mountain offers affordable day passes for non-guests, so you can enjoy all the amenities! Namastay is situated in an idyllic location, less than 30 minutes away from Traverse City, Frankfort, Glen Arbor, Little River Casino, Crystal Lake, Glen Lake, Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and Lakeshore. Visit nearby wineries, restaurants, shops.
