Perched on a gorgeous five-acre lot on the bank of the Betsie River, this unbelievable getaway will be just the place to get away from it all and breathe in some fresh air. With plenty of room for the entire family, you will have no trouble spreading out and feeling at home in no time. Mingle with loved ones by the warmth of the wood-burning fireplace with a favorite drink in hand as the chef of the group whips up something tasty in the full kitchen. On warm summer nights, there will be no better way to end each day than a cookout on the back deck as the sun dips below the treetops. Plus, the firepit is the perfect place to listen to the water rush by and reminisce about the fun that was had that day with the whole gang.
What's nearby:
Regardless of the season, this special retreat will be just the place for every type of guest to enjoy. When fresh snow blankets the area, the skiers of the group will be glad to know that Crystal Mountain is just over a mile west offering a variety of runs for all experience levels to enjoy. While in the area, everyone will love walking through the exhibits at Michigan Legacy Art Park and soaking up the colors of Fall foliage. A bite to eat and local grocery stores can be found in Thompsonville proper a mile away and a day trip to Lake Michigan is just 18 miles from your front door!
Things to know:
Free WiFi & cable
Full kitchen
Firepit
Snowbird-friendly
