Inside, the cabin offers a comfortable layout with a main floor bedroom and full bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a second full bath upstairs. The Betsie River is protected under Michigan's Natural Rivers Act, helping preserve the natural, private, and scenic character that makes this stretch of river so special.
