The Space: Welcome to Bison Acres, located at 153 S Pioneer Road in Beulah, Michigan. This Northern Michigan retreat is ideally situated just minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, Lake Michigan, St. Ambrose Cellars, and Downtown Beulah. Set on nine private acres, the property offers year-round lodging for up to fifteen guests across two unique spaces: the main log cabin, known as The Cabin, and the bunkhouse above the garage, known as The Shed. During the winter months, Bison Acres is a perfect home base for snowy adventures, offering easy access to downhill skiing, cross-country trails, and snowmobiling, all followed by cozy evenings in front of the fire or a relaxing soak in the outdoor hot tub. The Cabin features beautiful wood finishes and an open floor plan. The main-level master bedroom includes a king bed, large closet, and spacious bathroom. The living area offers a gas fireplace, a smart TV, and a sleeper sofa, along with a full kitchen, dining area, and washer and dryer. The upstairs loft sleeps four and includes a pack-n-play crib for young children. The Shed is a large open bunkhouse above the garage, updated for comfort and able to sleep seven guests. It includes a queen pull-out sofa, a second smart TV, a selection of games, and a three-quarter bathroom located off the mudroom on the main level. Heating is provided by an electric fireplace, an EdenPure heater, and two mini-splits, which also offer air conditioning. Both The Cabin and The Shed also have window unit air conditioners for summer use. Bison Acres is perfectly located for winter recreation. Guests are only 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain, where skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing are top attractions. The Betsie Valley Trail, with miles of scenic cross-country skiing and fat-tire biking routes, is a short drive away. Snowmobile trails connect easily from the property, making it convenient to ride right into Benzie County’s network of trails. After a day outdoors, guests can return to the hot tub, enjoy a movie night on one of the smart TVs, or gather for board games in The Shed. Additional conveniences include lawn games, a beach umbrella, extra fans, and a grill stored in the garage, as well as firewood available for purchase on-site via a local vendor’s cashbox. There is ample space for boats, trailers, ATVs, snowmobiles, and RVs, though hookups are not available.

We enjoyed the hot tub, firepit, fully stocked kitchen, yard games, smart tv and wonderful outside space (especially the porch and porch swing). It is a great place! ##### Mark M.

Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bison Acres The property itself was fantastic, very private with plenty of space. The space easily hosted 15 people. The sleeping arrangements were fairly tight for 15 people, but it would be reasonable for 10-12 single people or 7 couples to stay, given the need to share beds. Plenty of towels/linens/pillows etc. There was notable trash under beds that seemed to have been pushed there, which did not detract from the experience. The hot tub cleaning solution was not pre-measured as started but was easy to do. Plenty of cooking utensils and pans. Host was very responsive and easy to reach. Truly a fantastic overall property as a getaway. Would highly recommend and return if had a large group again. ##### Charles B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robia C.

I came up with my buddies and our girlfriends, 12 people total. There was more than enough room. The pictures do not do this place justice the property is so beautiful and big. The house is extremely organized and clean. I was expecting it to be the normal up north house with bugs everywhere and a little dirty but everything was spotless. They provided a lot of toilet paper and paper towels. They also have any yard games you can think of which was so much fun to do with our group. They also have a big sign out front with lights on so when we came back to the house at night it was very easy to spot! We would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!! ##### Robia C.

Jan 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lots of space to relax, close to skiing Bison Acres is a cute cabin with second building that can sleep 6-8 in each building easily. There is one bathroom per building so it worked great for the 6 of us - the kids got their own space. The on site laundry is great. The property is organized and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and gadgets to make a meal. Bring soap. And TP if staying longer than a weekend or with lots of people. This property has streaming!!! Netflix etc. 9 miles to Crystal. 5 miles to Benzonia. 30 minutes to TC. Nice hot tub. St Ambrose distillery is one mile down the road. Had a great dinner in one of their outdoor igloos. The first time you approach the property, it's super hard to find. You have to spot the address on the mailbox on the other side of the street while driving on a fast road. The owners really need to put up a sign that says "Bison Acres." Honestly, that's what I was looking for and would have been helpful. We never spotted bison during our stay. 😜 ##### Susan S. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus T.
