Welcome up north! No matter what your idea of leisure is, you can find it in abundance here in beautiful NW Michigan; and the Betsie Riverside Resort is a perfect home base to access it all. Located on the bank of the Betsie River in beautiful Benzie County, the Betsie Riverside Resort offers riverside cottages/cabins and camping, canoe and kayak rentals, a park-like setting, an indoor heated pool and hot-tub, stellar fall salmon fishing, and easy access to all that the NW Coast has to offer. For more than 80 years the resort has welcomed guests to the Betsie River for a classic “up north” vacation experience- from it’s beginnings as the RiverSide Resort & Motorcourt, to its long history with Barb & John Hanmer, to it’s current form as the Betsie Riverside Resort we’ve always been locally owned and operated. Instead of another nondescript hotel room near the interstate exit, why not visit us? We’re minutes away from everything you want to be near and miles away from everything you need to take a break from. See you soon.
