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.

A wonderful cabin on the Betsie River. 10/10 will stay again!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
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.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Overall, this was a nice place in a beautiful location.
5.0 / 10.0·Mar 2021
We stayed for a ski trip with a group of 4 adults and 6 kids. We've stayed here several times and absolutely love it. The property is quite unique, located on the bend of the Betsie River. There is a wood fired sauna in the garage that is an added bonus. There are 2 average sized bedrooms downstairs as well as a large master suite upstairs and one bunk room. 2 TV areas allowed for us to spread out and relax after skiing at Crystal. We prefer to cook our meals when we travel. The kitchen had everything we needed for that. The house is 2 miles from Crystal Mountain and a short 20 minute drive to Frankfurt.
