Betsie Bliss Cottage, Riverfront / Hot Tub, Skiing, Golf

An overall great stay! Very communicative and helpful host, spacious accommodations!

Betsie Bliss was exactly what our family needed to rest after our days skiing at Crystal Mountain. The location was excellent, beds very comfortable, the cottage clean from top to bottom and the kitchen was extremely well appointed. Will absolutely plan to return.

Very welcoming. Beautiful place and can't wait to stay again!

Everything was wonderful, great location and space! There was a weird smell at the place that didn't seem to go away, we weren't sure if it was from the water or something. Buth otherwise, great!

Host, amenities. So accommodating and reachable

Great location on the river. Very clean and well maintained. Hot tub was a hit with the kids.

From start to finish this place had everything we needed and things we didn’t even think of this is what I loved about this they thought of everything so I didn’t and the location was perfect for our family who needed a getaway from our very busy lives. Loved the river we took full advantage of it as well as the hot tub. Comfortable accommodations all around. If you are looking to have a relaxing vacation away from distractions this definitely is the place. Great hosts always able to be in contact with them when needed.

And relaxing. The property is beautiful!

The cottage was very clean and well stocked, we were very comfortable and enjoyed being on the river.

Everything was great about the place, including the pleasant surprise of a screened in porch, perfect for relaxing with coffee in the morning or a drink at night with the sounds of the river. We enjoyed local and regional attractions, including Kayaking (n/a at house, we brought our own) where we finished at the house after dropping in at Wolf Rd. It’s beautiful, but swift and not for beginners. After activities, the hot tub was the perfect way close out the day. The Kitchen is very well equipped, perfect to cook for our group. Doing laundry on-site was great, but there are plenty of towels, including dog towels. Lots of other little bonuses we discovered that made our stay great, too many to list here.

Cottage was wonderful. A lot of room to hang out or relax by urself. Nicely stocked.

Everything that may have been forgotten, was ready for us, including things I didn't think of. It was just nice to wake up, have coffee, sit on the porch and watch the river. It's a great place and look forward to a summer visit.

great place to stay. Perfect location.

Really great setup in a picturesque river environment. Had agreat time with family and friends. Just minutes from Crystal Mountain. Hot tub was amazing. Plenty of space. The owners thought of everything. Fully stocked kitchen if you want to stay in & cook. Would definitely rent again.

Sublime

This property was fantastic for our family snowboard trip! About 4 minutes from Crystal Mountain, it offered a quiet setting in the woods away from the busyness of the slopes. We cooked our meals and could shuttle back and forth to the resort throughout the day for breaks. Everything was very clean and so well equipped. Would definitely stay here again!

This property is perfect for a friends and family reunion. We had people from all over the country come visit, and everyone enjoyed their stay. Everything was thought of and provided for. Communication with hosts was excellent, even with them being on vacation themselves! Thank you for such a wonderful visit

The house is perfectly clean, the beds are comfortable, you really do only need to bring your clothes and food. We loved our time there!

The house itself is well supplied, super clean, quiet, and well located! Easy check in and check out process. We loved the screened in deck a lot. The location was great for us as it is near both Traverse City area as well as Manistee. The Best part for us is that it is dog friendly!

This property was exceptional. It is a very well maintained, meticulously clean property that is fully stocked. You only need to bring clothes and food. We used this cottage as our family cabin while the remainder of our in-laws stayed at the larger house next to it. Perfect for a large family vacation. The river running in the back of the property was an added bonus. Our children enjoyed playing in it and the dock made for a tranquil spot to sip our morning coffee. We will definitely be back!

This property is amazing and you won't be disappointed. You only need to bring your clothes and food. It's well appointed with all the necessary amenities and more. The property is very clean. The property manager communicated well and made himself available, though we didn't have any issues. We'll be back!

Perfect for a group of six, every amenity available, In retrospect a little to small for six adults and two small children. Excellent communication and every need available and excellent opportunities for family vacations

Great property and up north feel. Good proximity to outdoor adventures

Just bring your food and clothes!! Fully stocked with everything to enjoy your home away from home. Great location and very comfortable! Clean, Clean, Clean!! We will be back.

Everything you need is on site but your food. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay! John was super helpful with arrival/ check-in and was quick to answer any questions we had. The house had everything we needed and was perfect set up for my family to have a relaxing weekend. We will definitely be back again! The Hot Tub was a big hit!

From the warm hospitality of the property owner to the impeccable condition of the house, our rental experience exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail in every aspect of the property, from cleanliness to amenities, truly made our stay memorable. We appreciated the lengths the owners went to make the house feel like a home not just some investment property. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

My only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer!! This VRBO was immaculately cleaned, spacious, with all of the household items you’d possibly need. Games galore, spectacular views, and the host is quick to reply & incredibly kind. I recommend booking 10/10!! And while you’re here — check out the Iron Fish Distillery! We can’t wait to come back & stay here again!
