River's Bend



The Space:

Take in the sights and sounds of the Betsie River and the surrounding woodlands at this quiet log lodge just outside Thompsonville, a beautifully secluded piece of property with 600 feet of water frontage on the river. It's a home that's just as inviting in winter as it is in summer, with the ski slopes of Crystal Mountain, bike trails, and the scenic shores of Lake Michigan all within minutes. This tree-lined lodge is well-furnished and atmospheric, with natural log details, large windows, and central air-conditioning. If you're on a family skiing trip, you can come inside to warm up by the gas fireplace, unwind in front of the cable TV, and watch the snow pile up on the tree branches outside. As for summer, it's a time to barbecue on the gas grill, dine outside on the deck, and play lawn games in the grass. Rejuvenate in the private hot tub anytime. As the evening rolls in, you can keep warm in the private sauna in the garage or by the outdoor firepit sheltered by a pergola. (Wood is provided for the firepit.) The kitchen is well-equipped for a crowd, offering stainless steel appliances (no dishwasher), a breakfast bar, and a dining table. A cozy den awaits upstairs for the after-dinner hours, where you can watch DVDs, play board games, or log onto the free WiFi at the desk as the day's clothes spin in the washer/dryer. Things to Know Check-in time: 4:00 PM. Check-out time: 10:00 AM. All guests shall abide by The Good Neighbor policy and shall not engage in illegal activity. Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM.

    In the woods, on the river, 4 bedrooms, a hot tub and sauna - what more could you ask for? Even more beautiful than the photos.

    Great location and a lot of space for whole family to spread out. Close to Crystal, Iron Fish, St Ambrose and short drive to beach towns. It was hot so we did not use the hot tub, sauna or fire pit. Used the grill a few times and steaks, veggies and brats cooked up well. House and property were as advertised and we enjoyed our 30th anniversary with all our kids.

    This property is beautiful and the house is amazing. We came up for a long weekend to ski at Crystal Mountain (3 adult and 5 kids) and we had the best time. Four feet of snow on the ground!!!! We definitely didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much,The Jones Family

    Amenities and property matched photographs. Family enjoyed hot tub and fire pit. Accessibility to river is minimal although we were able to fish from shore. The beach in Beulah on Crystal Lake was 10-15 minutes away and Frankfort and Lake Michigan shore was 20 minutes away. Overall this property was great.

    Our family enjoyed using this cabin. Only suggestion is to supply small fans for upstairs bedrooms and repair of screened windows. Very clean with all kitchen needs supplied.

    So beautiful, so rustic, so spacious, we had plans to do some sightseeing but everyone was very content to stay and chill and enjoy the atmosphere this comfortable house provided both inside and outside. If relaxation is your goal, this is the place.
