About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

“Northern retreat in the heart of Indian River.”

This one-story, ranch home featuring easy access and an open concept will not disappoint. The cottage is located in the heart of Indian River with three bedrooms and one & one-half baths. Its a quick walk to Burt Lake, downtown restaurants, coffee houses, ice cream parlors, boutiques and even the local grocery store.

The full kitchen boasts a gas range, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave and most any appliance you could want. The AC is ice cold for summer months and the gas fireplace is perfect for those cold winter nights. Amenities are extensive with a washer / dryer, high speed internet, Apple TV and 60 channels of Spectrum, as well as a firepit. You'll enjoy how spacious the home feels, as it sleeps up to six people comfortably and is stocked with towels, linens, cooking utensils, laundry detergent, firewood, etc.... Vacationers can also use the private boardwalk in the backyard that leads to Burt Lake waterfront and the driveway to the home is paved with available space for parking roughly three to four vehicles.

Please review house rules prior to booking in order to assure that the cottage is conducive to your needs. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding house policies, as I'm always available and eager to help with your vacation needs.

Thanks!

Christmas Trip with adult children and grandchildren.

This house was perfect for us. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room. The place was cozy and clean and had all amenities needed. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed winter activities like rafting on the Sturgeon River, ice skating, sledding. We went to Boyne Mountain and went tubing and walked across the Sky Bridge. We ate at The Thirsty Sturgeon, Breakers and visited Northland Brewery.

Quiet getaway in colorful Michigan.

It was a beautiful cottage with all the amenities. The proximity to the lake and eating and shopping within walking distance was ideal. The fall foliage was absolutely spectacular and better than expected!

Best vacation place to stay

If you want a clean, beautifully decorated, fully functional, with many amenities, this is the place to go. My sisters and I stayed there last year and liked it so much, we booked for our stay this year and hopefully next year too. Host responds right away to requests for help, and yard is beautiful with flowers and relaxing area.

The best place we've stayed at in Indian River!

Great house, great location, excellent hospitality! Would definitely choose this house again. They thought of every detail, and made it so easy! Simple checkout process, no long list of chores at the end of our stay, and they provided coffee pods, a few bottles of water and extra bathroom items in case we forgot something!

Perfect hangout house for girls weekend!

Girls weekend was a hit at this perfect retreat- the layout was perfect for cooking and hangout out! We have been friends for more than 20 years and we needed a weekend away- so glad we found this house! We loved the back yard and the shops/restaurants downtown. Steve was a great host and was easy to communicate with- made our stay more enjoyable! A major plus was the check in and check out was a breeze- minimal things to do, which made the stay that much more enjoyable. Looking forward to coming back again!
