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.

Fantastic place!
Betsie Riverside Resort is fantastic! We loved the place. Since we were with our five year old, it was important that there was a lot of green space - which, there was. The river was flowing just across our cabin and the birds chirping made for such lovely breakfasts on the porch! Great trips (canoeing/tubing) and fantastic hikes are short drives away. Shops and pharmacies were also not far - despite the resort being in the middle of tranquil nature. The swimming pool on site was a great way to relax after an adventurous day. Thank you Chris and Misti for such a lovely stay!
