About this cabin rental

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.

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.

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).

My daughter’s wedding was in the area. After everything was done, we needed some rest! The cabin was in an excellent area, clean, well appointed and very comfortable. Hooks everywhere and plenty of storage. The fire pit beside the river was amazing. We will be staying again.

We spent a week in this beautiful log cabin for a family vacation. The accommodations were clean, organized, and well cared for. It was a great location to tube down the Sturgeon river and hop out right in "our" backyard. The backyard set up was great for dinner or relaxing by the firepit. Super close to Burt Lake beaches and the ORV trailhead. Its a great place to make memories! Thank you!

Since our first year at Lazy Sturgeon in 2020 and this last one in 2024, we are always awestruck by how clean and roomy it is.And it is so cozy and comfortable—we relax as soon as we come through the door. Our daughter and son-in-law and our two grandchildren (ages 6 and 17 months) come with us on our annual trip to Indian River, and we never feel cramped—so much room! We all highly recommend this cabin.
