Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The Cabin on Pine Ridge sits just outside Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, putting you steps from one of northern Michigan's best four-season destinations. In winter it's 59 downhill ski and snowboard trails plus cross-country and snowshoe routes. In summer it's two championship golf courses, Michigan's only alpine slide, the Michigan Legacy Art Park with 40-plus sculptures along a two-mile trail, and a full spa. Iron Fish Distillery is five minutes down the road for pizza and a pour after a long day on the mountain. Frankfort is about 20 minutes west on Lake Michigan. It's a small town that earns a full afternoon: Frankfort Beach and the North Pier for sunsets, Point Betsie Lighthouse for a walk, StormCloud Brewing for a beer, and Birch and Maple if you want a proper sit-down meal. Crystal Lake and the 22-mile Betsie Valley Trail are right there too. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Glen Arbor are about 30 minutes north. Traverse City is 30 minutes northeast.

Guest Access

The home, land, and river are all available for guest use. The barn/garage are currently locked for owner storage.

We had the most amazing stay at The Cabin on Pine Ridge! We took our family (children, grandchildren, and dogs) on a pre-holiday getaway and could not have asked for a more perfect setting! The cabin was exactly how it appears online….but even better when you actually step inside. We enjoyed every moment in every space inside and out. We gathered around an outdoor fire as well as a cozy fire in the beautiful living room. It was truly a wonderful weekend of playing games, sledding, exploring, crafting, and creating memories with our family. We will cherish our time together spent listening to great music, dips in the hot tub during a northern winter storm, and celebrating Christmas! Jess, the host, was amazing through it all! We…will…be…back!
