Adorable cottage in northern Michigan! It’s a comfortable retreat with a great location! Has everything you need ! The owner is very easy to talk with we had no issues at all ! Wonderful pleasant !

What a wonderful property and host. Had a short stay and this was the perfect place because it’s near the lake and downtown. Great communication from the host. 10/10 would recommend.

Really enjoyed this roomy cottage. We’ll stocked and homey. Short walk to beach. Love being in the neighborhood! The host was a joy to communicate with. Highly recommend!!

This was our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. The place was great and communication with the host was excellent.

This house is nicely situation about 200 yards from Burt Lake, a short walk into downtown Indian River, and close to main roads (25 minutes to downtown Cheboygan, 30 minutes to skiing at Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands. Great attention to detail - this was one of the best furnished and best stocked vacation rentals we have ever had. The beds and pillows were especially comfortable, and the property had all the necessary amenities.

Great home and location. Host was welcoming and communicative. Home was spacious and we loved the fireplace!

This was a last minute booking and Steve made sure everything was all set for us. One of the best hosts I’ve dealt with. This house was just perfect!!! We would stay here again. Great location.

My daughter, daughter in law, mom and mother in law escaped for a peaceful weekend away.

The property better than portrayed! It was impeccably clean! The main room was cozy and inviting! The kitchen alliances were top notch!! The beds comfy! Myself and two friends needed a place to rest and recover! We had “fallen out” during the pandemic, with hurt feelings and emotional distance! Our host, Steve was thoughtful and communicated all the necessary information. Please consider this property if you want to do “nothing” or if you want to be active, visiting the local cuisine and sites!! ENJOY JoNeil Conley

We had a nice family fall weekend getaway to Indian River. Steve’s property was cozy with all the comforts of home and super clean! The location is great - just a short walk to Burt Lake. Steve is an amazing host, very accommodating. Also, he offered suggestions for things to do and good places to eat in the area. Plan to go back again sometime and explore the area more. Would definitely stay the same property, it was wonderful. Thank you Steve!

This beautiful home and terrific host made our stay fantastic!

We stayed here for the second year in a row and just like the previous one, it was great. We love the location and everything about the house. The house is so warm and welcoming and anything you may have forgotten I swear he has them there for you. We plan on coming back next year.

My sister's and I take my Mom on a vacation every fall. We love coming to Michigan. Steve's home in Indian River was centrally located to what we planned on seeing. We visited Paradise Michigan and visited White Fish Point Ship Wreak Museum, Watched the ships go through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, visited St. Ignace, took a day trip to Mackinac Island and shopped in Frankenmuth at the world's largest Christmas Store. We enjoyed relaxing mornings at Steve's home and when we returned home in the evening, enjoyed cooking in his nice kitchen and enjoyed relaxing in the back yard. The home is well stocked with towels, bathroom incidentals if you forgot your toothpaste! There are 3 bedrooms, 2 have very comfortable queen beds, the third room has two twin beds which were very comfortable for adults. The kitchen was very nice, nice gas stove, (gas grill in back yard) dishwasher, 4 slice toaster, coffee pot, microwave oven, blender, crock pot, mixer. The home is so cozy and comfortable, we could have stayed another week! There is this cool board walk through the back yard which gets you closer to Burt Lake. Burt lake is a beautiful, clean lake with wonderful sand beaches. It was a little too cool to be in the water, but we loved walking down by the lake. Thank you, Steve, for sharing your beautiful home with us.

This was the second time that I stayed at this property, and I have already booked it again for a third trip next year! Great house, great location, and a great host! Everything about this rental property is perfect.

The place was neat and clean, very well furnished to make our stay very comfortable. Steve was extremely helpful in our communications with him. We would gladly stay there again, and assure anyone else to not hesitate to stay there. The location is excellent - a short walk to the lake, near the main part of town and very easy to find. Definitely well worth it!! A wonderful place to be when visiting that area (less than 30 minutes from the ferry to Mackinac Island.)

Beautiful cottage right at the beach. Very clean, comfortable, quite and perfect location! Host is fabulous, generous and communicates. We will definitely be staying here again.

This house is located close to the beach, the river, and town so there was always something close to walk to. The house is very clean and well kept so It felt like home

Nicely decorated and attention to detail. Landscaping and yard were beautiful. Great location for an Indian River stay. Easy walk to Burt Lake beach. Owner was responsive and helpful. We’ll be back!!!

This was our 3rd year staying at this property. It was as wonderful as the previous years. Noticable upgrades to the property and everything you would need including beach chairs, beach towels, grill with extra propane if neded. Location is excellent with short distance to beach and lake. Also nice location for day trips to other locations. Host is very responsive and has great communication with any needs. We will be back.

Steve was so easy to work with from beginning to end. Cottage is comfortable and well appointed, with just about everything you need for your get away. A great location to explore the northern part of Michigan and Mackinac Island.

This was our second summer staying here and we were so happy to do it again! The home is in great condition with lots of thoughtful amenities and new appliances. We are big fans of the backyard!! The location is wonderful: walking distance to coffee, groceries, and restaurants, and just a few minutes through the backyard to a small beach. There’s also a larger beach and small pier along the river that’s only a 7-minute walk from the house. It was so nice for our family (4 kids ages 6 and under); thanks, Steve!

This is our 2nd year staying at this property. We liked it so much the first time, we came back! The house is very comfortable, clean, well decorated and homey. The location is perfect - you can walk to get coffee, grocery, ice cream, etc. The boardwalk to the beach is convenient and Steve, the host, has left everything you need to enjoy it. We rent a lot of Vrbos and especially enjoy when the host has thought of everything you need to be comfortable. There was a blender, containers for left overs, extra travel sized toothpaste and contact solution, laundry detergent, etc. He really thinks of everything and it is a pleasure to rent this house.

Can’t say enough good things about this property and the host, Steve. Property was immaculate, decor was perfect, use of space was creative without losing any convenience. Left there feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to face whatever life throws at me. Thank you Steve for everything.

This property was clean and had everything you could need. Steve is the ultimate host, thanks for the clear instructions, restaurant suggestions and water and snacks. Checking in was easy. The cottage is so cute and the landscaping is to die for. It was great to have so much charming outdoor space with fire pit and a path to the beach area. We loved eating at Christopher's cafe and traveling to Mackinaw Island and surrounding areas like Sault Ste Marie. This is a great, relaxing place to stay!

Had such a great time here. Plenty of room and amazing location

Beautiful property, location was great!! Steve was great to work with and very helpful! we will definitely be returning! if i could give 10 stars i would.

Steve’s cottage was in 5 star condition. You can tell the time and effort he puts into to keeping the place clean and up to date. I went up with my Dad for a fishing trip and we were both impressed with our stay. Great location right next to Burt lake with a small jaunt to mullet lake and other rivers. The check in/out process was super smooth and the amount of amenities blew other places out of the water. Likely one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in. I only hope he has availability for next year. Thanks for hosting Steve!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful weekend in Indian River. Steve was an excellent host. He was easy to communicate with and provided great recommendations. His cottage is cozy, clean and relaxing. We were there for our son’s wrestling tournament. The cottage provided us with a bonus family vacation weekend. We had everything we needed- full kitchen supplies with nearby grocery, games, extra blankets, fireplace. We loved it!

Steve had us "check-in" by using the garage code he gave us to enter the house, and that was it, so that was easy. The house had all the kitchen utensils we needed, and lots of toiletry items (shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, etc.) were provided, which was nice. My bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in! There were some spices and olive oil and vinegar in the kitchen which was nice, too. Overall, great place to stay!
