About this cottage rental
Enjoy the quiet seclusion on 5 private acres. The property is on the Betsie River and depending on the time of the year has steelhead and salmon. Trout are in it year round. Sit on the large covered deck and enjoy the outdoors with a campfire. If you aren't a homebody, Crystal Mountain is only about 3 miles away. Great Skiing and golf are available. The Iron fish distillery is only 2 miles away and have very good food and drinks made from products grown on site. a 15-20 minute drive will get you to the beautiful beaches at Arcadia, Elberta, and Frankfort. Crystal Lake is also close by. A little longer drive and you can experience the Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Our property is a family cottage not a commercial rental. The downstairs bedrooms are small. The cottage will sleep many but just so there aren't any surprises the dining table is made for 6 people (you can fit 8). There is a covered deck with a picnic table that seats 8. The downstairs living room seats 8 and the upstairs family room seats 5. The upstairs family room and bedroom is a combined room. There is a tv upstairs that picks up local channels via an antenna. There is a HDMI cable to connect to a device. We use our iphones to stream tv.

Very clean with plenty of beds. It is a great location, quiet and secluded yet not too far away from other activities. 20 minutes to Arcadia beach. 5 minutes to Iron Fish distillery which was awesome. Bring mosquito spray, they are heavy. Also Brring some boots if planning to access the river from the property. The stairs go halfway down to the river and then it is very muddy after that especially the last 10 feet near the river bank. Not sure if it is like that all the time or just weather related. Much easier river access down the road at the bridge.

Pictures posted do not do this cabin justice. It was a beautiful, well cared for cabin. Clean with a well stocked kitchen and utensils. Secluded with beautiful scenery. Randy was responsive. The owners also leave a helpful binder to help with getting to know the cabin and surrounding area in case something is needed. Only downside was no washer to do laundry, but it wasn't a problem. It is about a 20 minute drive to nearby towns, Benzonia and Frankfort, where we were able to find laundry services.

My wife, our dog, and myself have never had a more peaceful stay anywhere ever!! This cottage has everything you need to cook, shower, and sleep. Super comfortable and super clean!! The only things we heard the whole time we were there was the wind blowing through the trees, the river flowing, and the birds chirping. The cottage has the perfect outdoor area, we used the grill and firepit all day!! You don't even have to leave, we walked for miles through woods and back roads and never saw or heard a car or person!! The Betsie river is a few steps away from the deck...unbelievable!! I can't say enough about Randy, the perfect host in every way!! We will definitely be back, the sooner the better. We had a blast!!
