We provide that classic “up north” Betsie River cabin rental experience…
Description: The Betsie Riverside Resort offers 11 different cabins that can sleep from 2 to 5 adult guests each. Four of the cabins are duplex-style, allowing for a privacy door to be opened between two units if desired. All cabins feature handmade decor and touches and wonderful NW Michigan artwork prints by Brian W. at the Mighty Mitten! Eight of our eleven rental cabins overlook the Betsie River, and all are within a short stroll from the river, the resort indoor pool, the canoe launch area, and the resort front office. All cabins are pet and smoke-free.
Pricing: Cabin rental rates range depending on the size of the cabin and, most importantly, the time of year and whether your visit is a weekend or weekday stay. Cabins require a minimum 2-night rental Memorial Day weekend through the end of season. Reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance. NOTE: We have no hidden required fees- no cleaning fee, linens fee, credit card fee, etc. Our advertised price is the price! The only addition is MI use tax and our required CVB resort fees- neither of which we get to keep.
Cabin Amenities: The Betsie Riverside Resort offers free WiFi throughout the resort.
All the cabins at the Riverside come fully equipped with the following: Bedding, Linens, Towels (please bring your own beach and river towels!), Gas Heat, Window unit- AC, Cable TV, Microwave, Coffee Maker, Stove/Oven, Cooking & Dining Utensils, Refrigerator/Freezer, King/Queen/Single Beds (depending on cabin), Full Bathroom w/Shower, Hair Dryer, Picnic Table, Charcoal Grill, Deck Chairs & Tables, and access to Community Fire-Pits. (BRR provides one complimentary bundle of firewood for each community fire pit per night. Many guests buy additional wood locally to supplement that. Michigan Law prohibits the transportation of firewood great distances to reduce the risk of invasive species spread so please source/buy locally.)
