Betsie Riverfront Lodge Sleeps 16+: Fall, Holidays & Crystal Mtn Skiing

Welcome to Riverbend Lodge: 11 private acres with 1,200 feet of Betsie River frontage, no neighbors in sight, and room for the whole group in every season.

Fall on the river: Catch the fall salmon run on the Betsie, watch for deer and eagles along the bank, and end the day around the fire pit under some of the darkest, starriest skies in northern Michigan. The U-shaped driveway has room for trucks and trailers, making the lodge a comfortable base camp for deer season.

Thanksgiving and early December: Host the holidays where everyone finally fits. Two king primary suites with private baths, two bunk rooms, and a separate upstairs family room with a pocket door give kids and adults their own spaces, and the fully equipped kitchen is ready for a holiday feast. Early December is perfect for a family getaway, a friends’ weekend, or a group holiday celebration before the season gets busy.

Ski and snow season: Crystal Mountain is just 8 miles away. Trail 39 runs right along the property, with direct access to miles of snowmobile and ORV trails.

Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Lake Michigan are all an easy drive away. Fall and winter weekends book early, so reserve your dates now.
