Wake up to the sound of the Little Betsie River and sip morning coffee on the patio while hardwoods and pines wrap you in pure Northern Michigan tranquility. This cozy 1-bed, 1-bath cottage blends solid block construction with a classic knotty pine interior, creating a timeless Up North retreat. Inside, an open floor plan and a wall of windows in the family room pull the outdoors in, filling the space with natural light and river views. Outside, a grassy lawn with a fire pit sits right at the river’s edge—perfect for gathering under the stars while steelhead and salmon make their fall run and bald eagles circle above. Practical features include a one-car garage with a heated attached office or craft room. The home sits on about an acre overlooking the river, with additional acreage across the water that’s accessible from Bentley Road. Trails lead to both sides of the waterfront, offering endless opportunities to explore, with potential land division possible (verify with Colfax Township zoning). The land is protected under the Natural Rivers Act to preserve privacy and natural beauty. Located just 3.5 miles from Crystal Mountain and minutes from snowmobile trails and hunting land, this property is the perfect blend of peace, recreation, and Northern Michigan lifestyle. Fall colors are unmatched from your perch above the river.
