Loved this place, clean, comfortable, pool, hot tub, kitchen, classic mom and pop place, and supporting small business owners is what keeps these amazing Michigan destinations beautiful. We will be back!
Relaxing stay overlooking the Betsie River. We chose this place due to its proximity to Crystal Lake for a couple days of boating.
20ft boat was tight to maneuver on property and limited to 24’.
Cabin was very nice, was clean, and the people were so friendly and helpful!

Cabin was super clean and the hosts were sweet and welcoming! The area was beautiful, this place is truly a gem especially for the price. Couldn’t be happier with our stay!
This is a great place! It is clean and well kept. A lot of thought has gone in this place to make it comfortable from matches to extra pillows. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, fire pit, the real wood paneling in our cabin. There is some road noise. Wonderful coffee shop (Keep on Grinding) and mini golf close by. Great place for a family vacation. Highly recommend.
