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. Firewood is available for purchase on-site through a local vendor’s cashbox, so evenings by the fire are always within reach.
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.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’d be happy to host you again in the future.
The cabin was a perfect weekend getaway full of cozy nature vibes. This place was well organized and clean. Loved the record player and fireplace and the beds were surprisingly comfy. The hot tub was the perfect way to loosen up and unwind after our journey up north and gives amazingvi3w of the night sky. Just a country block away from our favorite meadery, St Ambrose. We came up on a weekend and didnt quite realize there was a winter storm heading our way. The rental management company came through to plow and shovel making it easy for us to access the property. The welcome bag was a very nice treat. We will definitely be coming back to this cozy cabin soon!
The cabin was very clean when we arrived and the property was very cute from the outside when we first arrived. The hot tub was wonderful and the reason we booked the property. The little gift they provided us with was also very special. We booked for my birthday weekend and it was prime location for what we wanted. Amenities in the kitchen were also great and helpful to have. Loved the fireplace and Chromecast access too! Overall great stay and a sweet little weekend getaway.
