A Short Guide to Alpine Ski Equipment
Before renting or purchasing ski equipment, ask yourself a few questions: for how long will you ski? Will you ski only on a vacation or also near where you live? Determining your projected commitment level will help you decide whether to rent, lease or buy skis, boots, and poles.
Our Guest’s Reviews
Lance the owner is a super nice guy. The property is right on the river with great access by foot or boat. Clean, affordable, and ask about the corn dog feast!! Team Georgia stays here every year.
Lake and Stream Guide Service
Under new ownership with a vision for expansion and growth! This place has multiple cabin size, rv sites and camping sites for a long weekend or even for a week or month. Camping sites are right on the river and all cabins are within hundreds of feet of the Betsie River. Nearby the resort you can enjoy wineries, breweries, kayaking, crystal mountain and more! Enjoy watching the fish jump the fish ladder as well. This place has accessible amenities with a ramp to three of the rental units and low to zero thresholds into many of the cabins. A place to check out and enjoy some time away!
The Abled Traveler
I really lucked out when I found this little gem! Not only are the cabins clean, cute and cozy but they have AC and the beds are comfy. Jack, the owner, is such a warm, inviting, sweet man! He’ll make you feel right at home. We’ll be coming back in the future!
