This cottage is a perfect location for our 3 daughters and their adult children. Many activities take place during the week with Boarting being the prime one. Bicycling, golf, kayaking and eating ice cream top the list.

Only a couple complaints. The price per night should be changed to better reflect the cleaning fee and the service fee. Large fees charged after booking and we would have likely chosen other location.

The location worked well for boating, biking, kayaking swimming and fishing. We were a family of 12 from 3 generations. The cottage and grounds were extremely well kept. Being a family of Michigan State Spartans, it was somewhat difficult flying The Ohio State University flag for the week.

The property is at the mouth of Indian river right by the public beach and pier leading out to Burt Lake. It was easy to keep our boat along the wall, the property was very clean, and had enough space for two families of six. The first floor is updated very nice, the second floor could use a little updating but we were really only up there to sleep so that is not worthy of losing a star. Kitchen was well stocked though I might update some pots as they have a lot of scratches in the bottom. We loved every minute of the location and the property.

Everything was very nice. We really only slept here and ate breakfast as our family has a home in the area. This was used for extra bedrooms. Very clean, and modern, right on the river and in town. I have had issues with VRBOs canceling on me and right from the start I had interaction with the property and felt good about the reservation. Highly recommend.

We had a great week out on the lake boating and the seawall fit the two boats, 27' & 28' so we didn't have to trailer them in the evening. The home easily fit our friends and family that stayed with us. I'm only giving this 4 stars instead of 5 though because the furniture and the mattresses were so uncomfortable! The furniture has lost all support and kills your back to sit in it for more than 10 minutes. Pretty sad when people were picking a dining room chair over the sofa and recliner and other chair. We brought down the wicker chairs from upstairs because those were more comfortable than the living room furniture. And everyone got up in pain and complaining about how terrible the mattresses were every morning. It does seem like with as much as this house cost for one week, the owners could afford to spend a couple weeks of income on replacing the furniture and mattresses. Even some cheap furniture from Big Lots would be better than what's there.

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and well stocked. The ice maker and extra refrigerator in the garage helped greatly with keeping beverages cold and having plenty of ice available for the cooler. The dock upgrades are very nice and we felt completely comfortable keeping our boat tied up all week.

House is located right on the river with easy access to Burt Lake and short walk to Beach/Park. Plenty room indoor and lots of outdoor seating. Rented a pontoon boat for the week and had plenty of room to dock it behind the house. Nice dock area with table and chairs and benches. Would definitely go back again in the future. Had minor issue with some of the bed linens, but it was quickly resolved by the owners.

This was an excellent choice for our family gathering to celebrate my parents’ anniversary. Two families stayed in the house (9 people), while the third family stayed with my parents. All of us were able to gather for meals at this house due to the spacious kitchen and open floor plan (15 people). We cooked our meals here every day and found everything we needed to make large family meals and toast marshmallows over the fire-pit on the patio. The kids played in the grassy back yard, and we docked our pontoon boat right behind the house! We will definitely rent this house again in the future.

We just spent a week celebrating my husbands birthday! 8 adults and 2 grandkids. The house was perfect for a large group. The backyard layout was wonderful with plenty of chairs around the fire-pit. We rented a pontoon boat from Indian River marina - this is a must. You won’t want to leave. The ice machine in the garage was a life saver ! The host was very attentive and met all of our needs. 😊

We had a great time in this beautiful home. If we had any negative comment at all it would be that the TVs were difficult to operate because they were streaming instead of standard cable. We didn’t have much experience with it. Although we weren’t there to watch rv it would have been nice to have it in the morning with our coffee. Would highly recommend this place!

We absolutely loved our stay here. We had a group of 10 (friends/spouses) and loved that we got to have a common space to hang out. We drove to Mackinac City to spend the day at Mackinac Island, and then came back to make a campfire and spend the night. We are hoping to come back and stay in the summer as well to utilize Burt Lake and go boating!

Beautiful home on Indian River!

The house was amazing. The perfect location outside and beautiful in the inside. We all had plenty of space. Both the little kids and teens had a blast with all the water activities. Loved walking down to the pier to fish. Best sun sets and just plan fun watching all the boats going by. All our friends had a blast and we will rent this house again. Also LOVED the ice maker- big hit and fire pit! Kate the property Manager was amazing and great to work with. She took good care of us and answered anything we needed! I would tell anyone to rent this home, You will not be disappointed!
