Very beautiful and relaxing property. Nice sitting out back watching the ducks float down the river. And listening to all the birds in the woods. The host Debra & Joe were right there if we needed anything. Even offered to take us up river with the tubes if we wanted to float down the river and into the lake.

Great location for fishing

Had a great time. Primo spot for fishing and getting out on inland waterway. River location is nice for docking since you are far enough down river to be out of wind.

Thank you for choosing our quaint cottage on the Sturgeon while visiting Indian River. Northern Michigan weather can be unpredictable, but the cottage is a cozy and comfortable place to take shelter from the rain and cooler temps. Please come back again when you can take advantage of keeping your boat tied up at the dock!

Perfect River Cabin!

The river cabin was perfect for our vacation! The cabin was decorated with an up north fishing theme and had everything we needed. The flowers and landscaping were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside with a view of the Sturgeon River. We took a nice walk and bike ride around the neighborhood and would stay there again!
