Stayed Dec 28, 2025This beautiful home was perfect for our family of 15 to be together and celebrate the holidays. We enjoyed being so close to Crystal Mountain for skiing, indoor swimming, and for using the fitness center and spa. We had a great meal and special cocktails at nearby Iron Fish Distillery, and some of us walked home since it was so close. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped for cooking and setting up a buffet. There were so many things to do in the game room and downstairs in the pool table room/family room that the kids (and adults( were never bored. The yard was perfect for playing in the snow and walking down the stairs to the river to fish. Everyone in our family loved this property and decided we would love to come back for another reunion in the future.

Stayed Dec 23, 2025My family had a wonderful time at the Bestie River Home. The home was exactly as pictured, beautiful and spacious in and out. It had everything we needed and was just a couple f minutes away from Crystal Mountain. We skied, laughed, ate, and enjoyed Christmas together. We will certainly return to enjoy more experiences at the Betsie River Home.

Stayed Nov 27, 2025We stayed at this home over the Thanksgiving weekend with a group of friends, and we all had a wonderful experience. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and extremely comfortable. The location was perfect as well.We were a large group—10 adults and 9 kids—and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kids especially loved the game room, and the adults had a great time with the pool table. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the holiday together.

Stayed Oct 22, 2025Beautiful home! Steve supplied a lot of information regarding nearby restaurants and nearby activities, very helpful. The home was very clean and had everything we needed.Check-in was very easy. With our kids and grandkids we had plenty of room to spread out and had many games to play. Our grandkids wished there was some bunkbeds so they could sleep more in a room, but there was plenty of bedrooms. Would highly recommend!

Stayed Jul 30, 2025Owner was very responsive to questions. All info was laid out ahead of time and also in a small binder. The whole place was labeled for our benefit. Beds were comfortable. 2nd floor bedrooms did get hot at night because of having an infant the door needed to be shut, otherwise very comfortable for our end of July early August stay. We Kayaked from up river and stopped at our house, do not use any floatation device that does not have a fabric liner. Lost 2 on our trip. But it was a good river to kayak on. Extra fridge in the basement was helpful for our sofa living family. Iron Fish Distillery was a nice short ride for the younger adults in our group, and enjoyable!

Stayed Jun 22, 2025The house was beyond acceptable. Very well appointed and very comfortable. All the little things were considered and supplied. We get our extended family together every year ages 3 to 66 and this was a great house for us all. The only issue we had was that the water front was a little faster moving than we anticipated so the younger kids were a bit disappointed. Would recommend to any large group or family.

Stayed Jun 6, 2025We absolutely loved this stay. The hosts have thought about everything. They were communicative prior to our trip. Quick to respond to questions. The house was amazing! Fully furnished! They thought about everything we could have needed. I seriously don’t think there was something we needed or forgot that they didn’t already have. I have never felt so taken care of. For the location and the price it was the best value! We 100% are making plans to come back. The place was beautiful, clean and comfortable! We had a large group and there was enough room for everyone without feeling like we were on top of everyone else. Thank you to the amazing hosts for making this trip unforgettable!

Stayed May 8, 2025This place literally had it all and was the most stocked vacation rental I have ever been at. The home truly is spacious enough to accommodate large groups, the kitchen had everything you'd ever need to cook large meals, the game rooms were a great touch, and the outdoor patio is perfect for bonfires and yard games such as corn hole and bocce ball that were included. David was a great host and very responsive. I highly recommend this stay and I look forward to booking this rental again for future family vacations!

Stayed Nov 10, 2024I can’t say enough good things about this rental house. We had three families on a late fall school break. House has everything you could need and all of us had an awesome time. Clean, tons of bedrooms, bathrooms which was important and multiple floors to spread out. All of us loved the game room and had some fun competition. The yard was great for the kids playing games too. Couple of us fished and caught some rainbows which was cool. The property is very quiet and we loved hanging by the river. Neat to be by Iron Fish and having so close. Great pizza by the way, so make sure you try it. We are lucky to have found this house. Thank you David for the best stay and we are definitely coming back again!
