The Space:

Welcome to Bison Acres, located in Beulah, Michigan. This Northern Michigan retreat is ideally situated just minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort, Lake Michigan, St. Ambrose Cellars, and Downtown Beulah. Set on nine private acres, the property offers year-round lodging for up to fifteen guests across two unique spaces: the main log cabin, known as The Cabin, and the bunkhouse above the garage, known as The Shed. During the winter months, Bison Acres is a perfect home base for snowy adventures, offering easy access to downhill skiing, cross-country trails, and snowmobiling, all followed by cozy evenings in front of the fire or a relaxing soak in the outdoor hot tub.
The Cabin features beautiful wood finishes and an open floor plan. The main-level master bedroom includes a king bed, large closet, and spacious bathroom. The living area offers a gas fireplace, a smart TV, and a sleeper sofa, along with a full kitchen, dining area, and washer and dryer. The upstairs loft sleeps four and includes a pack-n-play crib for young children. The Shed is a large open bunkhouse above the garage, updated for comfort and able to sleep seven guests. It includes a queen pull-out sofa, a second smart TV, a selection of games, and a three-quarter bathroom located off the mudroom on the main level. Heating is provided by an electric fireplace, an EdenPure heater, and two mini-splits, which also offer air conditioning. Both The Cabin and The Shed also have window unit air conditioners for summer use.
Bison Acres is perfectly located for winter recreation. Guests are only 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain, where skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing are top attractions. The Betsie Valley Trail, with miles of scenic cross-country skiing and fat-tire biking routes, is a short drive away. Snowmobile trails connect easily from the property, making it convenient to ride right into Benzie County’s network of trails. After a day outdoors, guests can return to the hot tub, enjoy a movie night on one of the smart TVs, or gather for board games in The Shed.
Additional conveniences include lawn games, a beach umbrella, extra fans, and a grill stored in the garage, as well as firewood available for purchase on-site via a local vendor’s cashbox. There is ample space for boats, trailers, ATVs, snowmobiles, and RVs, though hookups are not available. Small events such as weddings, reunions, and birthdays are welcome with prior approval, a signed event agreement, proof of insurance, and payment of a separate event fee.
Whether you’re here for skiing, snowmobiling, or simply savoring the quiet of a snowy Northern Michigan landscape, Bison Acres offers comfort, space, and convenience in every season.
