Devils Elbow Cottage on Crooked River near Burt Lake with HOT TUB!!

Come relax with the whole family on Crooked River. Enjoy 650ft of waterfront on Devils Elbow!

Boat well available for your own boat or rent one nearby for your vacation! About an 8 minute boat ride to Burt Lake or 15 minutes to Crooked Lake. Spend the entire day enjoying the inland waterways.

Hang out by the fire pit or hot tub after a long day of enjoying the great outdoors! Literally the best star gazing at night!

*Only 25 minutes to Nubs Nob or The Highlands for skiing/Snowboarding, snow shoeing, cross country, etc!!!

The River Cottage is centrally located and gives you the true meaning of being “Up North” year round!!

Crooked River is one of the main connecting bodies of water in the famed Inland Waterway. We are located on a no wake zone so it adds to the peacefulness of the cottage! The interconnected inland lakes and rivers provide over 40,000 acres of inland protected waterways. The lakes allow boaters the ability to explore many different areas all within the relatively calm waters that inland lakes provide.

For those that want to expore by vehicle, some of the most popular towns in all of Michigan are a short drive away. Petosky is about a 25 minute drive and Mackinaw City is 30 minutes away! Take a ferry over to the world famous Mackinac Island! Things to note:
- please be respectful to our neighbors
- boat rentals fill up fast! So call well in advance if you would like to rent a boat:
•Marooners Marina (pontoons, kayaks and SUP)
•Ryde Marine
•windjammer marina
•Indian river marina
•Lake to lake rentals
(just add a .com after those listed above!)

Fun Family Weekend
Myself, my parents, and my grandparents have all been coming to Burt/Mullet for decades and decided to bring my daughter up for her first trip this year for a family vacation to this wonderful little cottage on Crooked River. We found everything to be the perfect size for the seven of us and enjoyed the proximity to Mackinaw City, Petoskey and the wineries around the area. Our host was gracious and helpful and we experienced no issues. It was a genuinely awesome tome for our first family vacation with our newest member.

Super clean and beautiful home on the canal
Very clean, new furnishings and appliances, and a great spot on the river. Beds were very firm, plenty of towels and dishes. More than enough room for our 5 adults. Driveway can be tricky if you have a long boat trailer and unfortunately, we were not able to use the local boat launch at the end of the road. It's very shallow and drops off into sand. However, there was a very nice state park boat launch about 15 mins away on the north end of Burt. Host was super friendly, and communication was great. Would highly recommend this vacation home!!!

Perfect getaway
We stayed here for a ski weekend and loved the place. It was very clean and comfortable. The location was pretty and my dog loved the yard! The family room was large with comfortable coaches for all is us to gather. We especially loved the large mud room for all of our ski boots and bags! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place!
