Nine adults and 5 children ages 9 and under stayed at this home.The layout was good for our needs, with one of the 2-bed rooms having enough space to add a pack n' play and a child's cot at the foot of the beds. There was sufficient room on the main floor to "hang out" without being too crowded, and the large living room was wonderful, with lots of floor space and comfy couches. Though there's not much yard space, the adjacent (unused at the time) parking lot was perfect for playing ball, jumprope, riding a balance bike for the very young ones, etc. The large wrap-around porch got lots of use, daytime and evening, with our group. The location was perfect for what we wanted, as the beach at Burt Lake was so close, and the Mackinac Bridge and Petoskey weren't very far away. The just-down-the-street playground was so nice and got lots of use, as well as the large, grassy area beside it for playing frisbee, etc.. The nearby river was available for fishing too. As another review stated, it's an old, creaky house, and you hear pretty much every footstep, running water, and flushes. But I don't think any of us minded that too much. No dishwasher. There were, however, two items that were unpleasant--the laundry area is in a (dirty) Michigan Basement, (but washer and drier are nice.) Also, the main floor's bathroom has a tub and shower that's not nearly as nice as the upstairs bathroom. All in all, we had a wonderful experience! PS We loved Wilson's Restaurant.

Very Good

Large home with great accommodations. If you love antique homes this one is it. Lots of rooms, great mattresses. The floors are creaky but you get use to them. Easy walking distance to town and bike ride to beach.

We stayed here for 2 days and 2 nights. It was clean and beds seemed comfortable. Don’t plan on sneaking around the house because the floors are creaky😊. The house seemed cold and we couldn’t seem to get it to warm up. If you go in the winter take slippers and extra blankets! It was a great rental over all and I recommend it to anyone.

The place was charming, just as advertised. Beds were comfortable, sheets too! Which means a lot to me! It is an older place so it is noisy- creaky doors, thin walls, and the traffic outside can be heard. This probably only matters if you have a baby or young children. Cute downtown!

We had a great stay in Indian River thanks to Kelly and her lovely home. It was clean, comfortable, and well decorated and stocked - great for a large group. The river access location and proximity to Indian River was perfect!

Charming older home just steps from town and the river. We had everything we needed for family fun and room to spare. Our host was available for questions and immediately responsive to questions that came up. We would stay here again for sure!

Pleasantly surprised with the whole experience, beds were very comfortable

With 14 people occupancy only 2 bathrooms are not at all sufficient. That to one can not be used for taking bath. Need to have provisions at least for half bath so that folks can get ready while others are taking shower.

This property fit the needs of our ski trip! It had the right amount of bedrooms for our group and was in a great location close to some amazing restaurants for such a small town!

Lots of room, great communication with owner, great overall experience.

Our family was together to say goodbye to a very important family member . Your home was the ideal place for us to grieve , laugh and to make new memories . Your location was excellent we were able to walk enjoy scenery and Resturants .

House was a good size for our family! And we really enjoyed our stay. Location was close to town and the host communicated great!

Great communication with the owners and a fun few days for our family!

We had a wonderful experience at this property celebrating our anniversary with our children, their spouses, our grand baby and my mom. None of us had ever been before and Kelly was THE BEST at answering all my questions and helping me find a photographer in the area. Even on the rainy day it was a great place to be. We played games, sat on the gorgeous front porch and then when the rain let up we walked a block to get ice cream. Highly recommend staying here! You won’t regret it.

My boyfriend, our dog, and 6 of our friends were boating on Lake Carlevoix all day Saturday celebrating my boyfriend birthday and needed a place to come home to. It worked for what we needed.

We traveled to Indian River with a large family and 2 dogs. This house was exactly what we needed and was plenty big enough for everyone to spread out. We absolutely loved the wrap around deck. While there isn't much of a yard, we made the most of the outdoor space provided. Keep in mind while you are booking that this is an older home and the floor will creak in some spots but the character of the home is wonderful. The home is perfectly placed in the middle of Indian River just minutes away from beaches, golfing, Cross in the Woods, Chillermania and other activities for everyone in the family. Day trips to Mackinaw and Petosky are possible with very quick drives. Kelly was fabulous to work with and I strongly recommend staying at this home!!

This property worked out perfect for our group. We were in the area for a competition weekend . It was the perfect place to come back to it felt like home we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The porch was awesome . The home has everything you need . Property manager was easy to reach with a fast response.

We stayed here for a ski weekend in Feb 2021 and it was great. Large house that was perfect for our group. It was charming and clean. Owners were very accommodating.

Great property! Super clean. We have in the past had to clean the rental once arriving. Not here! Owners learned that we were going to have a late Christmas up north, thus had a Christmas tree up and holiday decorations out for our family to enjoy. Excellent communication with owners. Great location & convenient to Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob ski resorts. Highly recommend! We will be coming back...

The property was nice and clean and the location was great. The house is old and very noisy. Squeaky floors and loud plumbing which makes it hard for a large group to be quiet. The internet and television didn't work which meant no virtual school for the kids. Other than that the house was great.

8 adults stayed. Loved all big front porch, fire pit & plenty of room in the house for dining & sitting. We never felt cramped. Very clean, pretty period decor & the house felt inviting. Would recommend.

The property owners were sure to check in to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped to help us feed 5 young adults each day. Plenty of room for all and most importantly the beds were comfortable for a good nights sleep as we returned from our many adventures and day trips!
