Cozy Wood Cabin Getaway, Steps from River, 1 mi to Crystal Mtn Resort, Free Wifi

Free Wi Fi Access!
Enjoy a classic up north cabin getaway in every season. Our cabin sits just one mile from Crystal Mountain Resort, with direct access to kayaking, tubing, and fishing on the Betsie River—home to Chinook and Coho salmon, Steelhead, Brown, Rainbow, and Brook trout. Lake Michigan’s stunning sunsets are only 20 minutes away.

Winter brings ideal conditions for downhill and cross country skiing at Crystal Mountain, snowshoeing around our 1.5 acre property and nearby trails, or cozying up by the gas fireplace with a good book, board game, puzzle, or movie. Multiple snowmobile trail access points are close by as well.

Spring is perfect for a relaxing spa weekend at Crystal’s full service spa or golfing at one of Crystal’s two four-star (Golf Digest) courses. The Michigan Legacy Art Park offers a beautiful 1.6 mile hike year round. Spring also means morel hunting season—Mesick, just 15 minutes away, is known as the “Mushroom Capital of the U.S.”

Summer is a favorite time in Northern Michigan. Explore Lake Michigan’s beaches just 20 miles away, and don’t miss the unforgettable sunsets in Frankfort or at Arcadia’s Inspiration Point. For a classic Michigan adventure, book a tubing trip on the nearby Platte River. Our cabin includes three kayaks for guests to float down the Betsie or fish right from the dock. Crystal Mountain’s Crystal Coaster Alpine Slide offers a thrilling 1,700 foot ride, and their property features biking, hiking, and scenic chairlift rides. At the end of the day, come back to relax in the air conditioned cabin or build a fire outside in the fire pit.

Fall delivers breathtaking color. Crystal Mountain offers panoramic chairlift views across three counties during peak season. September and October are also prime months to watch fish migrate upstream. End your day with a crackling campfire in the pit right along the riverbank.

Open all year, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is just 40 minutes away, offering spectacular beaches, scenic overlooks, hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and iconic experiences like the Dune Climb and Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive—an unforgettable day trip for families and nature lovers.

Lovely Spot

A great spot perfect for a multitude of Northern Michigan activities: driving distance to great golf, Sleeping Bear Dunes. Exactly what we needed with a quaint cabin that gave us quick access to Arcadia Bluffs for a golf weekend. Definitely recommend for anyone coming up to experience Northern Michigan activities.
