I've stayed at this property a few times now and they never disappoint! Cute little cabins with everything you could possibly need. Very quiet and serene as well as SPOTLESS! Honestly better than a hotel. You have a little deck that sits above the Betsie River. Quiet and ~ Very relaxing! Close to the grocery store to accommodate anything you might want for your efficiency kitchen (which is fully stocked as well with pans and mixing bowl ect...)

Relaxing stay overlooking the Betsie River. We chose this place due to its proximity to Crystal Lake for a couple days of boating. 20ft boat was tight to maneuver on property and limited to 24’.

This is a great place! It is clean and well kept. A lot of thought has gone in this place to make it comfortable from matches to extra pillows. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, fire pit, the real wood paneling in our cabin. There is some road noise. Wonderful coffee shop (Keep on Grinding) and mini golf close by. Great place for a family vacation. Highly recommend.

We loved out stay at Betsie Riverside Resort! The cabin was so clean! Not just clean for a cabin with a wooden stairway down to river right outside the door, but clean for a nice hotel. The unit was outfitted very efficiently with things like extra blankets, kitchen items etc. The love seat recliner was not new, but it was amazing! The leather so soft and comfy. It was not buggy, so we did not use the screened- in porch of Cabin 6. Very helpful & attentive owners who want your stay to be wonderful. After a cold July night, Chris happily came down and turned on the pilot light, so that we had a bit of heat. That was not in the budget. They struck me as an easy going couple too, considering how much of themselves that they put into making the place so nice and all the details they have addressed. Chris and Misti really know what they are doing. Grocery store nearby down the 2 lane road. Traverse City is great. But driving to see sunset, get pizza, cherry pie and for getting to kayak, bike routes or the the Dunes, I prefer uncrowded, rural Benzonia for base camp. Wish we could have stayed longer and would have if they were not sold out. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
