6 Bedroom House in Alanson

This charming lakefront cottage on the east side of Burt Lake is available for weekly rentals in the summer (Sunday to Sunday) and shorter rentals in the spring and fall. The vintage cottage has a great open floorplan with two bedrooms downstairs and four bedrooms upstairs.
The featured attraction is the stunning lakeside porch which is perfect for watching the sunrise and relaxing in the shade. The screens on the porch were just replaced in July 2024.
The master bedroom downstairs has a queen bed and full en suite bathroom. The downstairs guestroom has a full size bunk bed perfect for two or more children to share. There is another half bath for the second bedroom and downstairs guests to use.
Upstairs there is another master suite with a king bed, a/c unit and en suite bathroom
There is another king bed in one of the upstairs guest rooms that shares a bathroom, "Jack and Jill" style, with another guest room that has a full size bed and an a/c window unit.
The fourth bedroom upstairs has plenty of room for 3 children to share with two twin beds, a full size bed and an a/c window unit.
The Great Room downstairs is perfect for hanging out as a group after a fun day on the lake with free wifi and board games.
The dinning room is large enough to sit 6 people comfortably for breakfast or dinner and there is another table out on the porch to sit another 6 guests.
We have a buoy that a boat or jet ski can be tied to, but there is no shore station or hoist on the dock available to guests. Boats and jet skis can unload at the dock, but they cannot be tied to the dock overnight.
Sorry, but we have a firm no pets policy, due to prior issues.
We have two Ring cameras set up outside the cottage in the front and back entrances for the safety and security of our home and guests.
The house is available for weekly rentals only. CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT ARE ON SUNDAYS ONLY.
Rentals for 2 weeks or longer save 10%.

Summary: Property was awesome for the kids with a clean and definite swimming area. Paddle boards and kayaks were a hit as well. Nice clean towels and bedding. Kitchen well equipped. Grill was awesome. Old house with plenty of rooms. Wood floors squeak so it's easy to hear kids upstairs or anyone on the stairs. Front porch was nice and we spent majority of days there. Would benefit with new screening on porch. Host very receptive and timely. Would stay again.

Summary: The floors under the beds were very dirty with a lot of dust. Some of the pillows need to be washed or thrown out. The broom in the closet should be thrown out. The house is beautiful and comfortable all in all

Summary: This is our 2nd year and we had another great week. The house is comfortable for our group of 10 and the water/dock is perfect!

Summary: We had a three generation group staying at the cottage. Lots of sleeping options through the house. The great room and dining room exude vintage charm. The kitchen is small but well appointed with 2 large refrigerators, an excellent stove and very nice dishes and utensils. The best part of the house is the large screened porch overlooking the lake. We ate dinner there nightly and I enjoyed my morning coffee while watching the sunrise. The grounds are lovely and cocktails on the dock was a delightful cap to the evening. Wish we had had time to use the outdoor fire pit. Highly recommended.

Summary: The cottage fit our family's needs quite well. We would request a rental again in the future. 8 pages of "house rules" felt a little daunting though. The "cleaning fee" did not include washing towels or sheets used during the stay.

Summary: We had a marvelous experience. The house was lovely, beautifully furnished, comfortable, tidy, and very clean. The screened porch was our favorite place in the house- it was perfect for reading, napping, playing games when it rained, eating meals at the picnic table, and just sitting and looking out at the lake. There were nice chairs and an umbrella on the dock, too. The lake is very clear, and shallow, so we enjoyed taking the kayaks out. We loved staying here and plan to come back next year.

Summary: We loved our week at Burt Lake. The house was perfect for. our family of 10 and was actually bigger than appear in the pictures. It was old but so charming Coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening on the front porch was a highlight. The dock was in great shape and the water was perfectly clear. We would definitely return!

Summary: We enjoyed the cottage on the Boardwalk I have been coming to Burt Lake most of my life! It is a great place to bring your family Renting a boat is a must so fun to go to Hoppies on the water and travel through the river! There was plenty of space I particularly liked two refrigerators. If I had to find a negative I would say the kitchen is to small. I would also suggest installing a combination lock or lock box instead of keys It is too easy to get locked out. Thanks for the opportunity! Beth

Summary: Lovely old spacious home on Burt Lake. After a somewhat distressing start to our lovely vacation - propane gas was empty when we arrived and owner was unable to get service until the third day we were in the house - we had a delightful time using all the facilities offered and just sitting on the dock or in the shade doing what families do when they haven't been able to get together for several years due to Covid. We had more than enough sleeping space so all of us including 3 teenagers had the room and privacy we needed. Like any charming old house, maintenance and up keep are a challenge and where we discovered issues we reported them to the owner. Shopping was easy and fairly close by. The kitchen had two enormous and empty refrigerators, one that made ample ice for our needs, and was well provisioned with cooking utensils and accessories that made our celebration of various family events easy. Overall it was a lovely 7 day vacation and adventure.

Summary: This house was great for our group! Plenty of space for everyone and we loved hanging out on the screened in porch. The kayaks and paddle boards were a nice bonus too!
