Our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) had a fabulous week on Burt Lake visiting with friends, day tripping to Mackinac, deep laketrout fishing on Lake Huron, and enjoying the backyard and dock. There are some lovely trails just up Resort Road for those wishing to take a walk in the woods. We spotted loons and a pair of bald eagles on the lake. There are lots of games, toys, and books available in the house. Our daughter had the best time catching frogs and crayfish. Abigail is such an attentive host and we had all we needed in this cozy cottage. Highly recommend!

We were fortunate enough to have great weather and enjoyed boating on the lakes and Indian river. Close to a great grocery store, Kens has everything. The common rooms were very accommodating, the bigger beds were terrific but the twin beds were a little too soft for our adult group- probably fine as the children’s room. The kitchen, all of the appliances, and the cookware was a dream come true! Also enough supplies like garbage bags, dish soap, etc. to get you started. The yard was very nice, plenty of room to play games, and we all enjoyed nights around the fire-pit. The only thing that would make it perfect is a hoist or a place to tie our pontoon- but we knew that when we booked it, so we were prepared. But something to consider if you want to bring a boat up for everyday use. It really was a grand week- the home is lively and very comfortable.

We love this part of Michigan, being right on Burt Lake was wonderful. Sitting at the end of the dock reading was very enjoyable. The location is fantastic, there is so much to see and do in the area. The cottage fit our needs perfectly, we greatly enjoyed it, it is on a quiet little street, lots of space between cottages. The communication with the host was very good. Wonderful place!

We all enjoyed our stay. We will likely rent this property again in the future. Our group enjoyed everything about the space. Great set up, in a great location.

Lovely location and house was perfect. We rented a tri-toon for a few days to appreciate the beautiful waterways. We did some kayaking as well. Would definitely recommend this home.

Loved the dock and shallow water.

We had a great stay! We have been coming to the Indian River area for over 20 years and rented many different places. This house was wonderful and centrally located between the Petoskey/Oden/Alanson area and Indian River. The neighborhood is great with relatively quiet streets and some wonderful hiking just steps away. Burt Lake is, of course, amazing and the dock is a wonderful synthetic dock with the typical 3ft "shelf" that extends probably 100 ft out so great for kids to play in. There is also a large grassy yard that is great for playing or sunbathing, and a great smoker/grill. The kitchen has nice appliances including extras like a gas grill, toaster oven, and wine fridge. Wifi was great and very fast--fast enough to support multiple video conferences for remote working. There are no kayaks or other water equipment but we brought inflatable ones that worked well, so keep that in mind! The host was very friendly and super responsive, and has lots of tips and suggestions for those new to the area. It would also be a great place to visit in the fall. We look forward to returning!
