Tucked beneath the pines along the Betsie,
Serenity A-Frame is your invitation to slow down.
A cabin with a slower rhythm
Coffee overlooking the river. An afternoon by the fireplace. One more soak before bed. A private place to enjoy the little things, with Crystal Mountain close by when adventure calls.

All guest questionsIs this the same cabin I saw on Airbnb?
Yes. Serenity A-Frame is listed on Airbnb as “Romantic Glacier Hot Tub Hideout | A-Frame.” This is our direct-booking website, where you can plan the same stay with the host team.
What is due when I reserve?
For stays more than 30 days away, 50% of the stay total plus a $1,000 refundable security deposit is due to reserve. The remaining stay balance is due 30 days before arrival. Within 30 days, the full stay total plus the deposit is due. Read the payment details.
How does the refundable deposit work?
The $1,000 security deposit is separate from your stay total and charged with your reservation payment. It is scheduled to refund two days after checkout following inspection, unless a documented deduction is needed. Bank processing adds time. See the full deposit terms.
What if my plans change?
Review our cancellation policy before reserving. Refund eligibility depends on how far ahead you cancel; your written booking confirmation contains the terms for your stay. Have a question about your dates? Talk with us first.
When can I check in and check out?
Self check-in begins at 4 PM, and checkout is by 11 AM. Arrival instructions are sent before your stay. You can ask us about late checkout, subject to availability.
