We’re from Oklahoma and rented the Bestsie River Bungalow with family friends, and it comfortably fit two families of 4. The house was the perfect getaway, and it was centrally located around all the things we wanted to do in Michigan. The house was well stocked (with very nice pots and pans), and the host had household items many places don’t(wine opener, chip bag clips, peeler, pizza cutter)! They even had s’more’s sticks which was a huge hit with the kids. They have two fire pits, which I thought was nice, for people who may not be able to make the walk down to the river. The one by the house is close to the neighbors, so we used the one by the water. The host was great at communication, and even gave his cell phone number if any problems were to come up. We had a small hiccup with the AC and the fixed it the same day, which was impressive and appreciated. If you’re looking for a family friendly home, this place is it. We went to Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, kayaked the Platte River, Mackinac Island, and even ventured to Torch Lake. Thank you for opening up your home to us.

The Betsie River Bungalow was perfect for our ski getaway this winter. The home was very comfortable, clean, and in a gorgeous location. Providing snowshoes was a fun extra that we enjoyed, trekking out into the woods. The owner is very responsive and it is obvious the guests’ needs are thoughtfully taken care of in advance. Our family definitely recommends this gem!

Great view and great house

We loved our stay here! It had everything we needed, was clean, and cozy, and just a short walk to the river. Great location!
