Great family vacation. Property was clean and exactly like described. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook! Highly recommend if you are looking for a vacation spot in Michigan.
Our family group of 10 stayed in the Northern Nest for a trip skiing at Crystal Mountain, which is about 12 minutes away. The home is very nice and well laid out for our group size. Nestled into the woods beside the Betsie River, this place is a 10/10! The owner is very quick communicating and was great to work with as well! We will be back this summer to do some kayaking!
Overall, lovely property, lots of bedding, comfortable family area, games, plenty to do at the cabin. Very clean, accommodating host , excellent 10 Minute drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing, road to get to property is long and windy and not paved.
We have stayed in this beautiful home twice and love the cozy feel. Wood burning fireplace, gorgeous views and close to all the things we love make this a perfect choice for us. David is a wonderful host.
This is a beautiful property and excellent location. Everything was as pictured and described. Short drive to restaurants and Crystal Mountain. We were there at peak fall foliage and it was gorgeous!! Our group was 4 couples and the accommodations were perfect for us. We loved sitting by the river mid afternoon, enjoying the warm sun and the sound of the river. Would definitely stay here again with family and friends.
Better than described. The most clean, comfortable, beautiful, thoughtful. The best of a relaxing and quiet location with nearby small town and easy access to so many desirable locations to enjoy in each season. Best rental.Owner makes you feel safe and welcome but without hovering. Very responsive and friendly.
We have so many wonderful things to say about our stay here. Beautiful wooded setting on the Betsie River, the cabin is so clean, comfortable beds and everything is well stocked. The lower level has so much space and there is a great loft for kids if needed. A little slice of paridise! We hope to return soon.
Northern Nest is a great spot for a buddy golf trip to northern Michigan. It is within 30 minutes of some of the best golf courses in the area and is especially affordable during the shoulder season. Great location right on the Betsie River. For a group of guys, I would say 8 would be the max if you donât want to share beds.
We loved our time staying at "The Nest". This cabin has it all for a large group! We loved our time by the river, kayaking and playing games. The location was close enough for a day trip to Traverse City, Interlochen, Lake Leelanau & Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The house is well stocked and has tons of sleeping choices between the bedrooms, loft space, roll away bed and air mattress. It was perfect for our group.
We've stayed at several rentals as family of 7 through VRBO and this cabin is one of the BEST! Anything you could need to be comfortable for the week was available there. The fully stocked kitchen made meal prep a breeze! We especially enjoyed the game room and leaving our mark on the pinball high scores list. :) Access to the Betsie River is amazing and the grassy area with a fire pit to hang out near the river was perfect. We had a great time. It was hard to leave!
We all loved our stay at the Northern Nest! Plenty of room for all 12 of us. There were plenty of towels for everyone & the kitchen was equipped with many staples. We would be gone most of the days but came home to sit on the huge deck or walk down to the water & sit around the fire, talk, & then go inside to play the many games that were there. Iâd recommend this place to anyone with large families.
Beautiful location in the woods that's within driving distance of great food, beaches, towns, and parks.We really enjoyed going out during the day and coming back to relax on the large deck, by the firepit, or in the Betsie River. The house is fully stocked with all the amentities for cooking, gaming, or outdoor fun. Great spot for a family vacation!
We had a wonderful time. The cottage was perfect for the family get together. The grandkids are already talking about next year and we are hoping to return. Dave was great at answering our questions and we were so appreciative of how quickly he did. We want to come back next year. Of the few places I have rented over the years this was by far the best. Thank you for the memories.
This house was wonderful! The property manager was great to deal with and house was very clean! Beautiful setting on the river and quiet and peaceful setting. The kitchen was VERY well equipped and there was no shortage of things to do. Close to restaurants and beaches/lighthouses. We would definitely return!
We stayed here for a conference at Crystal Mountain, which was about. 7 minute drive, Everyone loved the place! It was clean, comfortable and easily held the 5 adults, The appliances were high end, beds were very comfortable, amd it was relaxing.
One of us also fly fished the river, and said it was the perfect way to end a day.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
