Summary:

Bison Acres' main cabin can be rented without the bunkhouse during our slow seasons and will still include the private 9-acre lot and the all-season outdoor jacuzzi/hot tub!



The Space:

Welcome to Bison Acres, a modern log cabin retreat set on nine private acres in the heart of Northern Michigan. Just minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, Lake Michigan, and Downtown Beulah, this home offers the perfect all-season escape. In winter, it becomes a cozy base for snowy adventures, with skiing, snowmobiling, and cross-country trails all close by. After a day outdoors, guests can unwind in front of the fireplace or soak in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.



The Cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The main level features an open floor plan with warm wood finishes, a gas fireplace, a smart TV, and a sleeper sofa for additional guests. The master bedroom includes a king bed, a large closet, and a spacious bathroom. A full kitchen and dining area make meals easy, while a washer and dryer provide convenience for longer stays. Upstairs, the loft comfortably sleeps four and includes a pack-n-play crib for young children.



Please note that this listing is exclusively for The Cabin and does not include access to The Shed, the separate guest sleeping quarters above the garage. Guests who wish to rent the entire property, including both The Cabin and The Shed, should refer to our other listing for full details and availability.



Bison Acres is ideally located for winter fun. Guests are only 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain’s slopes and tubing hills, while the Betsie Valley Trail offers miles of scenic cross-country skiing and fat-tire biking. Snowmobile trails are easily accessible from the property, making it simple to explore Benzie County’s winter wonderland.



With space to explore, modern amenities, and close proximity to Northern Michigan’s best winter activities, The Cabin at Bison Acres is a warm and inviting retreat in every season.
