We absolutely loved it and we are so happy we stayed here. A beautiful private piece of property on the Betsie. The home had all the amenities and more. It did not disappoint in any way and we totally recommend staying here, we’ll be coming back next time we’re in the area. ##### Christina L.

We love this property and even more-we love how well the owners have made it so easy! Everything is labeled and they have thought of everything! Kids loved the new additions in the game room this year. Always a wonderful stay at Balsam on the Betsie! ##### Meredith R. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keisha C. Dec 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great holiday getaway! Booked this for a family getaway for the holidays and we all loved it! There ended up being 17 of us (including children) and we had plenty of room for sleep and activities. We did not have snow but we’re still able to enjoy some amenities at Crystal Mtn nearby! My family members were already asking me to book this again for next year!! Highly recommend. ##### Keisha C.
