Summary:
Betsie Woods
The Space:
Serene and perfect for two families vacationing together, this gorgeous retreat feels like home in the beautiful hills of Thompsonville. This private oasis sits in a terrific spot, just a short drive from all the action. Hit the slopes just minutes away at Crystal Mountain, with great runs for all experience levels. In warmer months, take a stroll through Michigan Legacy Art Park just down the street to view beautiful art alongside a trail through the forest. Rent canoes and float on the river, then head to the nearby Iron Fish Distillery for a refreshing drink. If you bring the little ones along, they will love escaping the summer heat at Park at Water's Edge, which boasts water features and fountains. If golf is your game, top golf courses are just minutes away, so book a tee time and enjoy a round of 18! Catch some spectacular live entertainment at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. For a bit of adventure, book a fishing charter and try your luck catching a big one! The hardwood floors, updated appliances, tasteful decor, and full kitchen complete with an island make cooking for the group fun and easy. Between meals, make your way to the fully carpeted lower level, complete with multi-person seating and a new 65' TV for your viewing pleasure. The lower level's electric fireplace makes it a cozy, comfortable option for the kids. Speaking of kids, they will adore the nook there, which includes a little table, games, and books to read. With two bedrooms and its own bathroom, they may not want to leave! Adults have plenty to appreciate down there, too. The office area is perfect for catching up on remote work, and a laundry room right next to it is an added convenience you're sure to love. The fully furnished back deck is a perfect place to enjoy a meal or glass of wine while visiting with everyone. Head inside and sit by the fireplace as everyone settles in for the night and puts on a favorite movie to end the day together. The renovated bathroom on the upper level and the one downstairs ensure everyone gets the privacy they want. Don't forget to stop by the hot tub in the Crystal Spa & Fitness Center at Crystal Mountain Resort!

Betsie Woods Getaway
Our stay at this beautiful home has been wonderful in all aspects. We couldn’t have been more pleased. This home is so cozy and equipped with everything needed and then some. It was extremely clean and spacious! The setting was beautiful and serene. The Betsie river was close to the house and full of trout, which was a treat to watch. We highly recommend this home and plan to return. We definitely give it a thumbs up!❤️
Well equipped, clean and beautiful home (more like 2 homes!) in quiet neighborhood. Just around the block from Crystal Mountain Resort. One of the better VRBO homes we've stayed in. The place has everything you need and more. Comfortable beds, a large deck with plenty of seating, and a second home downstairs! Kitchen has everything (and I mean EVERYTHING!) you need. The one thing I will note is that access to the river itself is not really possible from the property. Other than that. this place is all it claims to be!
