About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

“Northern retreat in the heart of Indian River.”

This one-story, ranch home featuring easy access and an open concept will not disappoint. The cottage is located in the heart of Indian River with three bedrooms and one & one-half baths. Its a quick walk to Burt Lake, downtown restaurants, coffee houses, ice cream parlors, boutiques and even the local grocery store.

The full kitchen boasts a gas range, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave and most any appliance you could want. The AC is ice cold for summer months and the gas fireplace is perfect for those cold winter nights. Amenities are extensive with a washer / dryer, high speed internet, Apple TV and 60 channels of Spectrum, as well as a firepit. You'll enjoy how spacious the home feels, as it sleeps up to six people comfortably and is stocked with towels, linens, cooking utensils, laundry detergent, firewood, etc.... Vacationers can also use the private boardwalk in the backyard that leads to Burt Lake waterfront and the driveway to the home is paved with available space for parking roughly three to four vehicles.

Please review house rules prior to booking in order to assure that the cottage is conducive to your needs. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding house policies, as I'm always available and eager to help with your vacation needs.

Thanks!

Highly recommend!
My husband and I come to Indian River often as his family has had property here for decades. We love it so much up here that when we got engaged, we could only imagine having our wedding here! We wanted a place of our own over the weekend and it was the perfect location for us. It’s right by town, so you can walk to everything from ice cream at Drost’s or Dairy Mart to breakfast at Christopher’s Cafe to Northland Brewery for yummy beers! The home was clean when we arrived and was fully stocked with anything we needed. I texted Steve that I couldn’t find an iron and 5 minutes later it’s at the doorstep! We also arrived to the sweetest card congratulating us on our marriage, which was such a sweet personal touch. Steve, thank you for opening up your beautiful home for my husband and I to enjoy our wedding weekend, we will forever cherish the memories we had there!

Great location for a winter getaway
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.
