Perfect location for skiing, amenities made our stay easy and delightful. Just a quick note to those of you who have ambulatory issues there is a set of stairs to navigate to come up into house from the side door. Other access was not open because of the snow

We had the absolute best time! The house was large enough for our whole family, including kids and grandkids. The kitchen had literally everything that you could possibly need. The setting is tranquil, with the river running behind the house. The house is 20 minutes from Frankfort, a nice little beach town with a great beach. We also visited Empire Beach and Glen Arbor.They had beach chairs, toys and everything you would need for outdoor activities. We made s’mores by the fire pit that had plenty of chairs and firewood. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and we would highly recommend a stay at the River house! It was the perfect vacation for our family!!

Terrific family spot

River House was perfect for our 3 generational family gathering of twelve. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious. There is plenty of room to spread out, and large enough kitchen and dining areas to easily accommodate everyone. We like to cook meals from scratch and found the kitchen beautifully provisioned with plenty of work space and helpful labels to find what we needed. With its proximity to MI-115, it's convenient to many wonderful activities and destinations. Yet it feels very secluded and private, tucked into the woods overlooking the river. We especially appreciated having four bathrooms, the sunroom and game room, the second fridge, the baby equipment, and the lovely swing by the river. The owners were very welcoming to work with and always responded promptly to questions. We highly recommend it.

River House

The house was so clean and stocked with everything anyone would need inside and out. The bedrooms were big and a spacious kitchen as well. We had a 3 and 4 year old who were entertained by catching and releasing frogs from the little pond in the front yard. The property was large and had great river frontage. The owners were wonderful and we would definitely rent this place again.

Perfect Getaway!

Property was exactly if not better than described. Excellant communication- zero issues and zero surprises. The river access was awesome as well as the fire pit and the supplied firewood. The decks gave an awesome view and place to drink morning coffee or to visit after the late night fire. Can't say enough good things about this property and the owners. Thanks for sharing it!

Amazing UpNorth Home

The home and property far exceeded our expectations. The hosts provided so many amenities and “extras” that you wouldn’t normally expect at a VRBO (shampoo, condiments, firewood… to name a few). The location is central to so many beautiful areas. We can’t wait to come back.

Comfortable, roomy place on the Betsie

We had a great time! I've never traveled with dogs or my family, so I'm excited we were able to stay. The river was very accessible, and the kids had a great time wading in. The house was awesome, stocked with the best kitchen supplies I've seen yet. The beds were comfortable, and it felt like someone loves this place, rather than most generic rentals. We made a lot of new memories here.
