You won't find a more peaceful and convenient retreat than this charming riverfront home! This retreat was formerly the owner's dad's cabin and sits on five acres on top of a big hill. There is a boardwalk that leads to Betsie River through a swamp area. Guests can go fishing for salmon and steelhead in the river. The snowmobile trail is only two blocks from the cabin, and Crystal Mountain is about a mile away. Other unique local attractions include Michigan Legacy Art Park, St. Ambrose Cellars, Bottle House Museum, Gravity Hill, Cotton Creek Farms, Crystal Lake Golf, Kresge Auditorium, Caberfae Peaks, and Mt. Holiday.

As you enter this riverfront beauty, you will find a delightful open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings, exposed cedar beams, hardwood flooring, and floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light. Spread out comfortably in the welcoming living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace and a smart TV with streaming services. When mealtime comes, discover a well-appointed kitchen with all new appliances (fridge, stove, oven, microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker) and painted cabinets. This area opens onto an extensive 15-foot deck with impressive river views. From here, you can easily access a clearing with a firepit surrounded by rocks. Additional perks include a two-person Jacuzzi tub on the main floor, a small gas grill, and a circular driveway, making it easy for snowmobilers to stay here.

Please note that this property does not have A/C.
