Great internet! Comfy furniture.

We were pleasantly surprised at the great internet speed and connectivity. We also liked the big sofa and recliner for lounging and napping. Location is close to town with the pinehurst bar located two lots away. For the price it’s much better than a tiny cabin in town.

Thank you Carl. Appreciate the review. Carl was our first VRBO guest and prior to his review gave us some much needed input and suggestions on things to do and take care of. We are already on it and hope to see him again in the future.

Easy to find, owner gave excellant directions. Close to shopping, dinning, and Devoe Beach, which was a lovely crystal clear lake and clean park. The water pressure in the house was fantastic. The home was cute, clean comfortable, and quiet. I stayed in the master and the bed was so comfortable. My friend slept in the 2nd room and she said she slept the best she's slept in a long time. I would absolutely stay here again.

Fishing Trip

My daughter and I take a fishing trip every year in northern Michigan and this place is a great place to stay. The next time I am in the Indian River area this place will be the first place to look at for availability. It is between Burt and Mullet and within two blocks of multiple places to eat and get ice cream. Sara responds quickly to any inquiry. The house is comfortable and clean. There is parking for multiple cars and room for a truck with a boat. Great location.

About the host

Hosted by SARA SPANGLER

Host profile image
My husband and I live downstate and have enjoyed Indian River for many years. Whether it's to go snowmobiling, camping, boating, or just stopping on the way further north its always had a special meaning to us. With so many great places to visit nearby, being centrally located and overall just a great community with great people, Indian River has it all.

Why they chose this property

We love this location since we are so close to everything Indian River has to offer. Good food, good drinks, boating, snowmobiling, almost everything you need is within walking distance, or a quick drive away.

What makes this property unique

Our home is perfect for what you need. Big enough to move around, and small enough to feel comfy. Nestled on a nice lot, with plenty of trees and a nice grassy lawn, within 5 minutes you are nearby downtown and all that Indian River and the surrounding areas have to offer.
