Come relax at the Riverside. Located on the bank of the Betsie River in beautiful Benzie County, Michigan, the Betsie Riverside Resort offers riverside cabins and camping, canoe and kayak rentals, a park-like setting, an indoor pool, and easy access to all that NorthWest Michigan has to offer. For more than 75 years the resort has welcomed guests to the Betsie River for a classic “up north” vacation experience- from it’s beginnings as the RiverSide Resort & Motorcourt, to its long history with Barb and John Hanmer, to it’s current form as the Betsie Riverside Resort. Instead of another nondescript hotel room near the interstate exit, why not visit us? We’re minutes away from everything you want to be near and miles away from everything you need to take a break from.

Blessings by the Beach is a destination for play, rest, and rejuvenation. At Blessings, you have the best of both worlds. Situated on a maple-lined street, Blessings is less than 30 seconds from Lake Michigan's beautiful sandy beach, which offers swimming, swings, almost endless walks on the beach, cliffs and dunes, a handicap accessible boardwalk, a fisherman's pier, a lighthouse and breath-taking sunsets. A couple of blocks the other direction and you are in town with restaurants, shops, biking, scooters, ice cream, coffee shops, a bakery, parks, antiques, and a movie theater. 

Blessings offers you a comfortable place to kick your shoes off and do something you haven't done in awhile. No need to bring a lot with you; both the beach house and the wee house are fully stocked with all linens, kitchenware, beach towels, sand chairs, and umbrellas. We also provide bikes, boogie boards and floats for the beach house rental. Both homes have Wi-Fi and cable TV.

Please note: only the beach house has a washer and dryer.
