Top Benzie County Hotel Reviews

Harbor Lights Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with lake access. We went during off season so it was quiet. The town was walkable from the property and very pleasant. Lots of shopping and restaurants but some were seasonal."

Hotel Frankfort & Restaurant

8/10 Good

"The new owners are trying very hard to please the customers. It is probably the best full-service hotel lodging option in Frankfort, with an excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinners. It is a short walk to the beach and lighthouses and a great jumping off point for the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore to the north and Arcadia Dunes to the south."

Cedar Ridge Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for a quiet retreat from a busy lifestyle and that is exactly what we found. I could not give 5 stars for interaction with staff because we didn't really "see" anyone but we did communicate by text and the person was very prompt and always helpful. Check-in was super easy. Cabin #5 was large enough to be comfortable, had everything we needed, the bathroom was nice. It was a lovely property to walk around outside and enjoy nature."

Betsie Riverside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved out stay at Betsie Riverside Resort! The cabin was so clean! Not just clean for a cabin with a wooden stairway down to river right outside the door, but clean for a nice hotel. The unit was outfitted very efficiently with things like extra blankets, kitchen items etc. The love seat recliner was not new, but it was amazing! The leather so soft and comfy. It was not buggy, so we did not use the screened- in porch of Cabin 6. Very helpful & attentive owners who want your stay to be wonderful. After a cold July night, Chris happily came down and turned on the pilot light, so that we had a bit of heat. That was not in the budget. They struck me as an easy going couple too, considering how much of themselves that they put into making the place so nice and all the details they have addressed. Chris and Misti really know what they are doing. Grocery store nearby down the 2 lane road. Traverse City is great. But driving to see sunset, get pizza, cherry pie and for getting to kayak, bike routes or the the Dunes, I prefer uncrowded, rural Benzonia for base camp. Wish we could have stayed longer and would have if they were not sold out. Thank you for a wonderful stay."

✨ Lake Compound | Sauna-Hot Tub-Steam Shower-Cold Plunge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property! The home is so thoughtfully set up and stocked as well. Just a heads up if you or any of your group have a hard time with technology, may be a bit of a challenge as everything from the lights to the blinds to the toilets and showers operate a bit unconventionally. All very cool though, and there are instructions posted everywhere. The property management company that handled the stay was very responsive but information was sometimes off or incomplete, at times felt like AI or something. Had to ask 4 or 5 times for entry codes and WiFi. Kept sending a link to a website they built for our stay, but all the info on the site just said “reach out for codes, password, instructions etc”. Overall a wonderful escape, we would stay again."
