Waterfront home on Betsie River with hot tub & sauna near skiing at Crystal Mtn
Summary:
River's Bend
The Space:
Take in the sights and sounds of the Betsie River and the surrounding woodlands at this quiet log lodge just outside Thompsonville, a beautifully secluded piece of property with 600 feet of water frontage on the river. It's a home that's just as inviting in winter as it is in summer, with the ski slopes of Crystal Mountain, bike trails, and the scenic shores of Lake Michigan all within minutes. This tree-lined lodge is well-furnished and atmospheric, with natural log details, large windows, and central air-conditioning. If you're on a family skiing trip, you can come inside to warm up by the gas fireplace, unwind in front of the cable TV, and watch the snow pile up on the tree branches outside. As for summer, it's a time to barbecue on the gas grill, dine outside on the deck, and play lawn games in the grass. Rejuvenate in the private hot tub anytime. As the evening rolls in, you can keep warm in the private sauna in the garage or by the outdoor firepit sheltered by a pergola. (Wood is provided for the firepit.) The kitchen is well-equipped for a crowd, offering stainless steel appliances (no dishwasher), a breakfast bar, and a dining table. A cozy den awaits upstairs for the after-dinner hours, where you can watch DVDs, play board games, or log onto the free WiFi at the desk as the day's clothes spin in the washer/dryer.

This property is beautiful and the house is amazing. We came up for a long weekend to ski at Crystal Mountain (3 adult and 5 kids) and we had the best time. Four feet of snow on the ground!!!! We definitely didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much,The Jones Family
Amenities and property matched photographs. Family enjoyed hot tub and fire pit. Accessibility to river is minimal although we were able to fish from shore. The beach in Beulah on Crystal Lake was 10-15 minutes away and Frankfort and Lake Michigan shore was 20 minutes away. Overall this property was great.
We came with a group of 8 and this place was perfect. Everyone had a place to sleep and the home was beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a nice cabin with a large group.

Perfect weekend getaway!
The House was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely rent again.
Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cabin. Hardly no road traffic and the proximity to the river was spot on. Well kept and managed with excellent communication between us and the owner/operator. Would stay here again!
Riversbend provided us a wonderful base for winter fun at nearby Crystal Mountain and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. The lodge is spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the views of the winding river.
