Wonderful stay! Just what we needed over Presidents weekend-so close to Crystal Mountain, where we enjoyed skiing. The cabin was very cozy and had everything we needed for the four of us. Brian - the owner - was very helpful and made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Stay Near Downtown Beulah

We had an exceptional stay at our 2 BR cabin. It was very cozy, perfect for the three of us (me and my two daughters. It's about a one mile walk to downtown Beulah with great shops and restaurants. We also took a day trip to Travese City which was also fantastic. Wonderful communication from Brian and Meg. Highly recommended if you are looking to stay in the area.

Great spot, nice little cabin

Hosts were very prompt and helpful with communications. Loved the location with lake view and small stretch of private beach. They provided all kinds of extras - from snacks and water to a firepit with firewood to access to bikes and paddle boards (which we didn't use since it's November, but still).

Relaxing, beautiful stay

This place was a great escape from the every day hustle and bustle. All the great up north feels with this one. Brian and Meg were wonderful hosts! Kind, generous and always making sure we had everything we needed. There are endless things to do right from the cabin but also lots to do within a short drive. Beautiful beaches galore, great places to eat and little shops to explore. Close to Traverse City for a day trip. We had everything we needed in the cabin. Can't say enough good things about this place. Looking forward to returning in the future!

This was a wonderful, cozy cabin for our family of four. We enjoyed kayaking in Crystal lake using the kayaks on property. We also used the bikes to ride around Beulah and a portion of the Betsie Valley trail. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, and enjoyed several fires on the beach as the sun was setting. Beulah was the perfect launching point for of our day trips. We went kayaking down the Platte river, hiked around Sleeping Bear Dunes, went on an ice cream cruise in Traverse City, caught tons of fish from Crystal Lake thanks to our fishing guide, and enjoyed several beaches along Lake Michigan. At the end of our eventful days, our cabin was a welcome retreat. We absolutely loved this area and will likely return again soon.

We had a last minute booking & this property worked great for our needs. The owner offered amazing options for food, etc…. We did think from the listing that the waterfront was private but would consider it shared. There are 2 cabins that sit behind the owners home which is waterfront. Each cabin does have a designated area with chairs & fire-pit on the waterfront. The designated areas are next to each other. We met nice people that were in the other cabin. The cabin was clean & had all of the amenities & it is a bonus to have all the water “toys”. We enjoyed our stay!!

Great Location and Hosts

We spent two weeks here and really enjoyed it. It's a great location and we were never at a loss for something to do. The cabin was quaint and well appointed. We enjoyed a mix of meals in and some local dining with outdoor seating (even during Covid 19). One of our favorite activities was to ride our bikes to Five Shores Brewing. The cabin is close to Natl Park hiking and Lake MI. We enjoyed trips to the beach, hiking in the woods, St Ambrose Cellars, Glen Haven, and the bike trails. My husband loved the fishing. The sunsets were gorgeous with a different "show" every night. The cabin was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The WIFI worked great. I was able to zoom my yoga classes with no glitches. Brian was a great host - helpful and friendly and never intrusive. He offered terrific suggestions for activities and restaurants. We appreciated their attention to safety during covid.

The Beulah Cabin

The cabin is wonderful, the property is fantastic and the location made for a wonderful stay. A short walk to Beulah and the Betsie Bike Trail is an added benefit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The use of your kayak was an added plus. Sitting on the beach chairs by the water late at night, seeing the stars, the Betsie Light and the sound of the waters of Crystal Lake was an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for sharing your property.
