The owners were nice and sweet enough to make a list of what we can do around the area and recommendation of restaurants nearby. The cabin we stayed in was perfect size for us as a family of three with a toddler. We enjoyed indoor pool and a cute little playground in the property. Definitely coming back.

Betsie Riverside Resort is absolutely wonderful. Super friendly owners that care about making your stay perfect. The duplex cabin we stayed in was cozy and immaculate. We enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub. We enjoyed walking around by the river. There are so many little things that they've added to make your stay more fun. Lots of things to do nearby. We already want to go back!

The Bestie Riverside Resort is a beautiful, quiet, unique place to stay. Very clean inside and out. The pool was amazing and so was the hot tub. Not for younger kids.

We had a great stay. Cabin one was very comfortable. We had 4 adults and had plenty of room for all of us. We were there for the weekend and loved relaxing on the porch in the mornings and evenings. Even had a fire one night and met some great people. We will definitely stay again.

I take my 4 boys (52,32, 30, 27) fishing every year for 3-4 days. This year was Traverse City. The duplex cabin was perfect. They all said that I really hit it out of the park this year with the accommodations.
