This was our second time staying at the Apple Blossom Cottage and I can't say enough good things about it. Lots of room for a big family, very clean, great communication with the owner, direct river access with room on the dock for two boats, I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to enjoy a nice relaxing vacation in Indian River.

Cynthia - we are so glad you chose Apple Blossom Cottage to spend some time up north. We've always loved how many places to go and things to see are just a quick trip from there. And for the times when you want just relax, the fire pit, porch and dock are among our top 3 spots to do just that. It was great working with you and we hope to have you back again soon! -Christie

Perfect location!

The house was very clean and was layed out very well for a large family. The location was perfect. It is just a short walk to downtown and a quick boat ride to the sand bar at Burt Lake. The dock is in very good condition and the patio area at the riverside is the perfect place to wind down after a day on the water.

Perfect Location for Family Vacation

I cannot say enough good things about this property! It was spotless, unbelievably well-equipped with anything you need throughout your stay, plenty of space for multiple families without feeling crowded and of course, a prime spot right on the river.

Memorial Day weekend

We enjoyed this cabin so much. I had my sister in laws bach party here. Even tho we weren’t at the cabin much, our favorite part was drinking coffee on the dock every morning. Overall, beautiful cabin, nice neighbors, would recommend and will probably be back!

Fantastic stay - AGAIN!!

Have been here before and this time it was great again. Got to meet the owners and they really care that your visit is great. House is great, as advertised, location is perfect. If you want a great Indian River vacation, you can't fo better. House has dock on river, so bring (or rent) a boat. Burt Lake is fantastic (as is the whole area).
