Cabin on the Betsie River near Crystal Mountain with Excellent Fishing, Kayaking

We absolutely had the best time staying here. The house was very clean, and cozy. The owners are amazing with communication and had instructions for anything we could possibly think to ask for! Don’t forget to sigh the guest book, that was a very sweet touch to add. Hope to stay again in the future

Great spot!

The cabin was a great fit for our big family group. The kitchen had great supplies for our cooking needs. Property was beautiful.

The host was wonderful and communicated often, the home is large and so comfortable for larger groups. Location is prime time, close to everything and yet remote enough to feel private and secluded. We love this place! Thank you

Crest place always enjoy staying there. Peaceful setting

Home was beautiful along with the outdoor area.

Very nice place!

Great place to stay!

Would have liked it to be cleaned & maintained better (cigarette butts & dirty grill, old deck & broken chair laying in weeds- toilet handle was broken in master- we fixed). Beautiful river setting- however listing should be updated to note lots of stairs, we had an age group from 19-79.

Comfortably slept 8 of my friends during our golf trip. Beautiful and relaxing location with great kitchen facilities.

Enjoyed a northern vacation with friends. It was wonderful!!

It was a great spot for family to meet up. The kids loved the basement play room and the adaults enjoyed the campfire.

Really great location for pt 1 of our family reunion - the extendable dining table and 3 kayaks were especially well-used!

Great

Our 26th Annual Family Canoe Trip was in Thompsonville on the Upper Betsie River. How fortunate for us to find this lovely cottage that was large enough to accommodate our large group--there were 17 of us. I cannot say enough nice things about how clean and organized the cottage was. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we might need. We had an infant with us and were surprised that the hosts had a booster seat, baby gate, and pack and play. Our family decided we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay, beautiful views / access to the river. Home is well appointed and more than met our needs.

Beautiful location and cabin!

The place was amazing and was a great central location to all things up north! The house was very cozy and really nice indoors despite some crappy weather! Mike was super communicative and helpful before and throughout the whole trip! Highly recommend this spot if you have a large group, we had 10 guys and everyone except two got their own bed!

The Cabin home was very spacious and clean. They added an additional outdoor dock which was nice! Great view of river with large outdoor decking. Fishing was difficult as there really isn’t an access point into river as it’s steep and river was high in area.

Beautiful cabin on a great piece of land right on the river. Very clean and tons of room for guest. I would highly recommend and be back again!

We have a group of 5 couples that spend a week together once a year. Property was very fitting for our group. A few maintenance issues, but Stacy was very interested in anything we found.

Very good for skiing on Crystal Mountain.

Lots of room to hang out with a large group. Had an amazing stay.

This was a great property with a beautiful setting. Everything was as it should be and the bedrooms were clean and spacious. Would definitely stay here again. Close to Crystal.

It is a very nice and beautiful place - just as described. Easy check-in and check-out. We rented it for Thanksgiving and asked for an early check-in, and the owner agreed without any issues. The only problem was the temperature. When we arrived, the thermostat was set to 51F, and it felt noticeably cold. Among us were a few elderly people, for whom the first few hours were difficult until the temperature rose to 65F. The owners should set the thermostat higher before our arrival so we wouldn't have to be wrapped in blankets and quilts during Thanksgiving dinner.

The house is very spacious and was very comfortable for 13 in our group. Common area was roomy and opened to kitchen and outdoor deck, with access to Betsie River.in back yard. Beautiful trees and landscape, very private. We enjoyed the firepit and grill on the wrap around deck. We were there for a three day fishing on the Betsie with a lot of cooking inside and out, and we had everything we needed.

Amazing house and location, had plenty of room for our 9 adults.

Property was pristine, beautiful location surrounded by nature and the amazing Betsie River. Iron Fish Distillery near by if you’re feeling thirsty. Overall great experience and would definitely rebook in the future !

Exactly the place we were looking for. So peaceful and relaxing. Great property!

We came up here for a fun girls weekend and this was such a great spot for what we were looking for! We needed a centrally located place to traverse city and torch lake and that slept everyone comfortably and it was perfect! It wasn’t clearly listed that there was not actual AC in the cabin which was fine, it was just stuffy in the house at times especially in the basement room with no windows. Also there were lots of box fans provided however they were VERY dirty. We loved visiting the Iron Fish Distillery for dinner one evening, the living room space is wonderful for a large group to hang out as well!

We enjoyed our stay. The prior reviews a read about the property were accurate, it is well appointed for large groups of people which worked out perfectly for us. The outside grounds have a lot of dirt and scrub around, which was no problem for us however, it made it difficult to, keep feet wiped off for going into the house. Especially when it rained for two days. The access point down at the river is hard to use because there isn’t a lot of room for chairs. A couple of our guests tried fishing, but we’re pretty high up off the bank for that. The property owner was very receptive to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Great room and kitchen combo ideal for hanging out. Plenty of seating and well-equipped kitchen. Beautiful deck and screen porch. Not all bedrooms have windows, no AC (but weather cool so ok)

Overall experience was amazing!! We definitely want to come back for another trip. Very peaceful and relaxing! If you like the wilderness and being around woods and water then this is a place for you. The cabin does hold at least 12 people and room to spare. So big families are not exempt.
