This cozy cabin may be your idea of heaven on the Betsie with 100 feet of pristine Betsie River frontage, this cabin in the woods welcomes you with cozy space to relax after a fun filled day of outdoor activities, featuring 2 bedrooms 1 bath with wonderful screened in porch where you can literally listen to the salmon and steelhead running up the river. Considered some of the best fishing in this portion of the river, a five-foot-deep hole is located just off the riverbank out front- potential catches are salmon, steelhead, rainbow trout and occasional brown trout. The gentle river current is perfect for free-floating or parking a chair in the middle of the river to soak up the sunshine and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Keep an eye open for bald eagles overhead, blue and green herons sneaking along the riverbank or cedar waxwings and kingfisher’s crisscrossing the river skylines. Resident wildlife has included beaver, mink, otters, whitetail deer, black bear, woodchuck, bobcat, coyote and a one-time grey wolf siting on the property. Becoming more abundant are partridge, ruffed grouse and woodcocks. This area is a spring stopover for migratory birds. Keep a feeder out to invite them to stay awhile for your viewing pleasure. Crack a window in the evening to catch the sound of nearby Barred owls- so cool! A variety of wildflowers bloom on the property from spring through fall. If your timing is just right you may find a bounty of morel mushrooms. Truly an amazing little piece of nature to enjoy! All this and just 5 minutes to Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort, a short drive or walk down the road for dinner at Iron Fish Distillery and a short drive to the neighboring towns of Beulah and Frankfort providing access to Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake and many shops and restaurants. Discover the perfect blend of comfort and leisure in this Northern Michigan retreat.
