This location allows easy access to Burt Lake, the Indian River, and the Inland Waterway! You can tie your boat/jet ski right up to the bulkhead and not have to hassle with trailering to the launch site each day (note a bridge limits boat height to 55 inches, and an outboard or I/O is recommended). Two kayaks are available for your use on the Sturgeon during your stay.
The property is nestled within Indian River’s village limits making easy access to I-75, US27, and M68. It is a short distance to Mackinaw City/Mackinaw Island, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix and Cheboygan and all they have to offer.

You are only 5 minutes by bike to the North Michigan State Trail, a 79-mile hiking, biking and snowmobile trail. The tree lined trail runs along the shoreline of picturesque Mullet Lake. Bring your bikes and walking shoes to enjoy bike rides and hiking on the trails or. just sit back and relax on the deck or around the firepit with a cold beverage and enjoy the river. Something to do for the entire family!

The new casemate windows are easy to operate and provide a soothing cross breeze for those opting to enjoy Northern Michigan’s fresh air and cool nights.

Summary: The location was great, the cottage was well stocked and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable- i fell asleep quickly every night and slept 10-11 hours which is amazing for me. The yard was large, flowers pretty, peaceful river you can enjoy. It was so peaceful and comfortable. Things to do for the whole family, or sit back and relax. The hosts were great! We look forward to returning.

Summary: The river cabin was perfect for our vacation! The cabin was decorated with an up north fishing theme and had everything we needed. The flowers and landscaping were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside with a view of the Sturgeon River. We took a nice walk and bike ride around the neighborhood and would stay there again!

Summary: Had a great time. Primo spot for fishing and getting out on inland waterway. River location is nice for docking since you are far enough down river to be out of wind.

Summary: This is an immaculate rental with every amenity you can think of in place and the owners were next-door, ready and willing to help out with whatever you might need. We really enjoyed the location which is extremely convenient right off of I 75 and on the sturgeon river just less than ~10 houses in from Burt Lake. We use the kayaks and the paddleboards, which was a lot of fun on the river. We brought a very large boat that is 22 feet long and quite deep and had a little bit of difficulty getting out into the lake, but nothing insurmountable. There were some spots that were very shallow, so just listen closely to directions and you should be fine if you are bringing a deep v boat. Both the owners are incredibly kind and helpful, which our kids who are between the ages of three and 10 commented on multiple times. And we would agree. Their dog is super sweet and great with kids too. The house itself is very updated with a well-stocked kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the pull out couch fit two small kids no problem. Everything felt very high quality and thoughtful. Definitely not a rustic upper Michigan cottage. This is a very comfortable, upscale place to stay. We didn’t make it there but there’s also a nice beach just a block or so away. Easy to walk and accessible. Overall this was a great stay. I would highly recommend!!

Summary: The cottage is quintessential in its appeal as a northern Michigan getaway. Perfectly situated near the mouth of the Sturgeon River as it empties into Burt Lake. The river is feet from the back deck of the cottage. We kayaked up the Sturgeon and rented a boat from a nearby marina; the Inland Waterway is remarkable, with tens of thousands of acres of lakes and rivers on which to traverse. Joe and Deb were remarkable hosts; super responsive to various inquiries we had about the area. The cottage is very well appointed and definitely harkens back to vintage summertime vacations with family.
