Log Cabin home on the Sturgeon River in Indian River

Relax by the Sturgeon River or enjoy the fresh air on the back porch of our fully furnished log home, watching the ducks play and float past. Our lodge is tucked away on a quiet road that follows the Sturgeon River and yet is also right in town. Walk or bike ½ mile into downtown Indian River to shop with Devoe Beach on Burt Lake, the Indian River, and bike / snowmobile trails less than a mile away. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or tubing down the Sturgeon River and Indian River. Fish for trout or walleye right in from the edge of the backyard. At the end of the day, enjoy sitting by the firepit.

Our Lodge:
After your adventures, wind down with a cool house during summer turning on central air when necessary or stay toasty with the gas fireplace during the winter.

Your group will sleep comfortably in 3 bedrooms with 2 containing queen beds and one containing both a queen and twin bed. Getting ready in the morning is easy with 2 bathrooms. In the evening, play games at the dinner table, watch a movie on 47” flat screen TV, or curl up in the loft to read a book or surf the web (free high speed WiFi). For mealtime, dine out, enjoy dinner in the backyard watching the wildlife and river, or dine inside using the fully equipped kitchen.

Our lodge sits back from the road with plenty of driveway for whatever toys you may bring with you.

Indian River area:
Our lodge is located directly on the Sturgeon River. Quaint downtown Indian River and grocery store are located less than ½ mile. Both Devoe Beach on Burt Lake and the bike / snowmobile path are less than 1 mile.

Perfect location for both outdoor and indoor activities year round. Boat down the Indian River to either Burt Lake or through natural wildlife habitat to Mullet Lake. The public launch on Indian River is about 1 mile away. Kayak, canoe, or tube on Sturgeon River. Rentals are located in town or bring your own. Enjoy Indian River’s Summerfest the 3rd week in July, or the Top O’ Michigan boat races in August. Venture a little further to swim in spectacular waterfalls about 30 miles east at Ocqueoc Falls.

Winter sports include snowmobiling, snow shoeing, or cross country and downhill skiing. Snowmobile trail is less than a mile away. Skiing areas are about 20 minutes away.

Springtime includes enjoying the area or fishing. In Autumn, take a drive through the Tunnel of Trees about 25 minutes away to see the colors.

Shopping options abound right here in downtown Indian River, or nearby historic Gaslight Village in Petoskey, or Harbor Springs.

Great Cabin right on the river!!
Great cabin close to lots of great stuff right on the river. Super clean, with plenty of beds, a big kitchen, fire pit next to the river, and everything you need for a fun weekend up north. The hosts were amazing and we’ll definitely be back!

Ski weekend that wasn’t
Lack of snow didn’t ruin our short getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy with enough room for our group. The background is lovely with the river flowing by. Very peaceful, but close to everything. Will definitely stay there again!

Thank you for providing a base for our wonderful week at the lake. The cabin is well equipped and furnished. We really enjoyed the river with our kayaks and it is very close to Indian River and Burt Lake fun. We also enjoyed your welcome gift!

Perfect cabin in the perfect location for a perfect stay!! The cabin exceeded our expectations. The view from the back porch was better than the pictures and coffee and cocktails by the river were exactly what we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will be back and hopefully get to stay here again!!

Great Labor Day Weekend
We took our 9 yr old and 14 yr old grandkids and had a fabulous weekend. This place was close to everything yet felt like we were in the woods and secluded! House was perfect for the four of us and very clean. We’ll be back!

Relaxing Getaway
The Lodge has a great location and a serene setting. The river is very relaxing with the occasional entertainment provided by rafters. The cabin is very nicely equipped and furnished. Nothing is overlooked. We will almost certainly book a return visit.

Fabulous Hideaway
Loved this cabin located on the Sturgeon River and tucked away from the center of town. Hosts had the property in immaculate and clean condition. Loved the little extras like the note that was left, and the bag of chocolate covered cherries and a few incidentals like mustard, mayo, ketchup and other pantry items. Great place to stay!!

Great getaway
We had a great time at the house for the weekend. The home was very clean and well thought out for a rental home. Loved seeing the river and we are wanting to come back next summer to actually Enjoy the river. Out of all the rental homes we have rented over the years this was by far one of the best! Highly recommend this home.

Great location for snowmobiling!
The cabin is a perfect, easy to access location right on the Sturgeon River that provided a beautiful backdrop during the winter. Curt was a helpful host with great communication and was very accommodating. I will definitely keep this cabin in mind for future snowmobiling trips since it was the perfect size for a smaller group and very close to the trails! Highly recommended! -Nick

Already planning our next trip back!
I could not rave about our stay more! The instant we walked in we felt at home. Not only is the property amazing, in a perfect location but the hosts are incredible! They thought of everything. If I could have stayed all summer I would have! We had an 8 hour drive up to the cabin and we complained about the drive the whole way saying we would never make a drive like that again… but after staying at the cabin the drive didn’t seem like a big deal and we would happily do it again for the serene, tranquil experience we had there!
