    The cabin was so clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed and easy for us to prepare our own meals. We liked that the decor was not fussy, just simple and very pleasant. The location along the Betsie River was very peaceful and scenic.

    Exceptional place. Right on Betsie River. Saw deer and rabbits across it. Fly fishermen in the river. Little fire pit just outside door. Wood provided. Staff very nice. We stayed 2 nights as a staging place for 2 charters. I wish we'd had more...

    The location, despite being right near a road, was quiet and faced the most gorgeous view of the river, trees and sky. I could hear birds chirping in the morning and enjoyed the sun on the trees in the afternoon. The pool and hot tub were awesome,...

    They are so kind and accommodating and polite! I loved this place! My kids thought it was small but for our needs it was great! We’re short though, so if you’re tall good luck showering comfortably lol. But it was great and the pool is nice too!

    The resort was very easy to get to. The cabin was well appointed and updated. The beds were actually comfortable! My teenaged boys loved the indoor pool and hot tub. One of the community firepits was conveniently just outside our cabin and was...

Company info

Yes, we’re originally from Texas… Indeed, it is pretty cold up here in NW Michigan, but let us regale you with tales of 110 degree August days & skin scorched by the vinyl of your driver’s seat! We went from barbecue and Mexican food to pasties & Boston Coolers, Longhorn and Aggie football to UofM & Michigan State, Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughn to Motown & Eminem, but we’re happy to be here. Luckily Chris spent his freshman year of college on the Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior, so snow isn’t a completely foreign concept to us… but as Michigan-native friend wryly proclaimed, “It’s not- Have you spent A winter up north, it’s- Have you spent TEN winters up north?” Chris grew up camping, & we both love to travel/camp/hike, & enjoy nature. Chris’ grandfather ran a canoe rental business on the Brazos River in TX all of his childhood, so when Barb & John Hanmer made the Riverside Resort available we felt it was the place for us. So, “howdy” (most Texans don’t really say that much, but it’s expected I guess). Welcome to BRR! -Chris & Misti Rasure
