Weekend dates go fast — book early to secure your stay.

The Setting

Tucked along the Betsie River and just minutes from Crystal Mountain Resort & Golf, this architectural A-Frame cabin was designed for slow mornings, starry nights, and everything in between. Whether you're a couple seeking a romantic weekend or a family wanting to reconnect in nature, this space offers a peaceful mix of comfort, design, and adventure.

A wall of windows draws your eyes straight to the riverfront view. Sunlight filters through the pines in the morning, and by dusk, the sound of the Betsie sets the rhythm for campfire nights. The cabin sits on a quiet stretch of river with private water access for fishing, kayaking, or simply dipping your toes in the current.

Inside the A-Frame

Step through the door into a warm, open-concept living space where wood, glass, and modern comfort blend naturally. The centerpiece is a stone fireplace that fills the room with golden light — ideal after a snowy day on the slopes or a morning on the golf course. A soft sofa and cozy chairs invite conversation, reading, or board games as the river glows outside.

• Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and panoramic windows
• Plush seating area facing the fireplace and river view
• Smart TV with streaming, Wi-Fi, and board games
• Climate-controlled comfort in all seasons

A custom espresso and coffee bar anchors the kitchen area — fully stocked with local Michigan beans, filters, and everything needed for slow coffee rituals. The compact kitchen includes cookware, fridge, and basics for easy meals between ski runs or fishing trips. A small dining nook seats two to four comfortably, overlooking the trees and water.

The Loft Bedroom

Follow the staircase to the loft, where your queen bed overlooks the river through floor-to-ceiling glass. Wake to the sound of water and light filtering through pine branches. The space feels tucked away yet connected — like a private treehouse for two.

• Queen bed with luxury bedding
• River views from the pillow
• Soft lighting and nightstand charging
• Ceiling slopes gently at the edges — mind your head

Downstairs, the full bathroom offers a walk-in shower, fresh towels, and local soaps. Essentials are provided for stress-free stays.

Outdoor Living

Outside, nature takes over. A private hot tub sits beneath open sky, perfect for soaking while the river flows beside you. As night falls, light a fire in the riverside fire pit and watch stars appear one by one — this area is known for clear, dark skies.

Location Advantage

Crystal Mountain Resort is just minutes away — offering skiing, snowboarding, spa services, and a championship golf course. In summer, drive scenic backroads to Lake Michigan beaches, charming small towns, and wineries along the coast. The cabin is a short drive from Frankfort, Beulah, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Designed for Every Season

• Winter: crackling fireplace, snowshoe trails, ski days, hot tub under snow
• Spring: trout fishing and early-morning birdsong
• Summer: kayaking, swimming, and fireflies at night
• Fall: peak foliage reflected in the Betsie River

Whether it's snowflakes outside or summer fireflies dancing above the river, this cabin connects every guest to Michigan's wild beauty. Each stay feels like your own private story — one best told beside a fire, coffee in hand, and the Betsie quietly flowing by.
