About this property

Indian River ALL SEASON cottage!

The area provides a wealth of outdoor activities in all weather. Our backyard also provides a peaceful retreat to read a book or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck. Our guests consistently remark on how clean this home is! ...We will allow ONE well behaved dog if approved and agreement to the rules for pets. For entertainment and recreation, the area boasts so many options, you'll want to come back again to do what you didn't have time for.
Our home is nestled among shade trees and surrounded by woods and endless acres of trails. We have easy access to hiking/biking trails, lakes, the mighty Sturgeon River and beautiful Burt Lake State Park. Ski resorts are 30 minutes away. Take a hike, snowshoe or enjoy a 4 wheeling ride out the back door! This home will provide a relaxing spot to come back to after your adventures or to get away from it all. Enjoy a BBQ on roomy deck with plenty of seating. Enjoy a s'more at the fire pit out back and the kitchen is equipped for any cooking you want to do. We have full laundry and comfortable beds with an open floor plan. The kitchen includes coffee maker, smoothie maker, skillets, all the dishes and utensils you'll need and even a few pantry items to make it more convenient. Although we don't have A/C, we are shaded with large trees and have ceiling fans throughout the home as well as auxiliary fans available for use. We provide bed linens as well as bath towels. We have the WIFI, ROKU TV, Amazon Video, Netflix, YouTube TV, DVD, a Wii and board games and puzzles, as well as a few toys.
Fishing opportunities are plentiful with the inland waterway system so close by. We are 1/2 mile and 2 miles from great access points to kayak or tube the Sturgeon and about 1/2 mile from the trail head for groomed snowmobile trails (North- Central Trail //Indian River/Petoskey Trail). We are 3 miles from Burt Lake State Park beach and boat launch and Big Bear Adventures and about 20-30 minutes from Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw, Gaylord and Cheboygan for unlimited adventures and dining. Please contact us to request a pet stay and to tell us about your ONE dog. We don't allow cats for allergen issues.

First stay at Indian River ALL SEASON cottage

The property was very clean and well-supplied. I would say it was priced well too. We did not know what to expect so we brought our own pots and pans and some of our own cups and plateware, but the cabin had everything you would need. We just needed to bring food and clothes to enjoy the house. We rented a boat from the Indian River Marine which was just down the street. In fact, the house is in a great location and not too far from everything that makes this area of Michigan a gem and such a wonderful summer vacation destination. If given the opportunity, we would definitely rent this house again.

Hidden Gem!

This home was perfect for our needs, plenty of space, lots of seating outside, comfy couch, was nice to have a washer and dryer and a dishwasher. Well equipped kitchen, had all the things. Lots of extra linens and blankets. Close to Burt lake, kids went fishing at the river and town had all the amenities.

Not too private

For ourselves, we were disappointed with the lack of privacy. The traffic noise was pretty heavy and the next door neighbors dog barked incessantly. The cottage itself was neat, clean and well stocked.

Home away from home.

I chose this home because it has two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and it’s conveniently located near many things to do. We hiked and checked out the nearby state parks. Had a fire one night and did a little laundry. Most of our meals we cooked. Want to stress our gratitude for the well-stocked kitchen. Lots of dishes, utensils and pots and pans. Easy to have more than one person working in the kitchen. Even better is the open floor plan that facilitated conversation. Overall, a comfortable, functional home away from home.

Wonderful experience

Every detail is taken care of at this property! We enjoyed returning to it so much every evening after our local day trips! Close to many Michigan highlights but off the beaten path just enough to keep you away from the congestion during peak travel season. Very clean and neat! Plan to return for sure!

Relaxing in a comfortable home from home

We enjoyed the location of the property as it is close to the cross in the woods, Mackinaw City and Petoskey. My wife and I were able to relax with our 2 kids, prapare some meals, play with the wi, watch some tv and go to church. Everything they posted about the property is true. We are planning to come back. We loved the sunsets while eating dinner at the dining table.

our stay at "stay and "play.

This is a very nice place to stay and the cost is very reasonable. It is located just a short distance from downtown Indian River. This makes it very accessible to major lakes and streams and also thousands of acres of State Forest and the 4 season trails they have. Our stay was marred by very bad weather for our purposes but would be great for a small group or family especially in the summer. Great fenced in yard for kids and pets and a very nice deck and area outside of fence for a fire pit and relaxing chairs. Would highly recommendd.

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Tami Hall

Host profile image
We purchased this home because we love spending time in this area. Our family are outdoor enthusiasts who love to spend time together. This is a perfect place for us to do that when we all have time off. We have done a lot of renting through these types of websites and so we know how to prepare for traveler expectations. We look forward to sharing our cottage with you. We are going to keep exploring and sharing our discoveries with our guests. We have acquired a great host team to help us with assuring your stay highly satisfying.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is centrally located to all of the beautiful rivers, lakes, beaches, shopping, sunsets, historical sites and trail systems. It is easy to find, is on a nicely treed lot with privacy that is hard to find when you're on the water. We have direct access to state land through the back of our lot and well marked trails. This is especially nice for walking the dog, exploring nature and enjoying winter soft sports. We are very close to the "put in" at White Road to ride the Sturgeon. We are equally close to the trail head for groomed snowmobile trails. The North Central Trail runs next to the Sturgeon across the street from our home.
The backyard has a generous fenced area with a fire pit behind the fenced area. There is plenty of parking for multiple vehicles / trailers.

What makes this property unique

Views of the woods and wildlife from the back of the house will have you watching for the deer. The home is sunny and warm even though it's nestled amidst the trees of of a wooded lot. You can really relax here inside and out.
Special traits include full laundry, fenced yard, private lot, easy access and centrally located to Petosky, Cheboygan and Mackinaw City, close to Burt Lake State Park, and the Surgeon River as well as the North Central Trail.
