We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay! It was perfect. Charming, clean, with a great area for a fire at night. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
Beautiful and peaceful property
The cabin was very comfortable and great for our family six adults and 3 children. The location was also very convenient for everything we were doing. We met Ben when we checked in, the property caretaker, and he an Inez were very helpful with all our questions. The first night we could not get the outdoor grill working so we called Ben and he immediately brought his personal grill over for us to use, when the owner was notified he replaced the grill with a new one.
Great cabin. Location was perfect for day trips to Harbor Springs & Petoskey, Mackinaw, and Cheboygan. Close to awesome beaches on Burt Lake. Cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. Great spot on the river and quite private. Great place! Thanks!
Great location. Close to Indian River. Loved having 3 full baths. Would Beautiful cabin with a well-stocked kitchen with everything you need.
Our family stayed here and everyone loved it. A little bit of everything for everyone. Doug helped us with anything needed and property managers helped us get back a couple of items the grandkids left behind. All very very nice and helpful. Lots to do in the area. Worst part was we had to leave at some point.
Absolutely would stay again. Caution to those that want to kayak... this river is not for beginners
The cabin was so clean and stocked with all the kitchen and bathroom supplies we needed. The sauna was also amazing and a welcome warm up after a day on the slopes at Nub's Nob. The kids/teens had fun in the game room/basement. There were plenty of comfortable beds and pillows too. We couldn't find trails from the property along the river but it was so calming to sit and watch the water in the morning. It was so quiet and peaceful!
Beautiful home. Great stay!
Great place in a great location!
We stayed here for a SxS ride. It was close to the trails. The house was nice and clean and the owner was wonderful to work with! Will definitely stay here again.
Great location! Right on the Sturgeon River and minutes away from the White Pine Trail. Loved the beach in Indian River. The house accommodated all 9 of us easily. Great deck for outside eating. We cooked most of our meals in the kitchen which had what we needed. A great place to enjoy all northern Michigan has to offer.
We had a wonderful time! Listing is accurate, and location was great.
What a comfortable enjoyable place to stay. Our family loved the rustic feel of the place. The balcony was our hub for dinner parties and cool morning coffees. The fire pit and large lawn were perfect for our active family and our evening sing a longs/ story telling. We will return again!
This is one of those situations where you feel like you’re waking up from a dream. Everything was as we had hoped and more. We searched many properties before choosing this one and to say it was perfect would be an understatement. True up north charm, gorgeous property, a beautiful river, and centrally located to so many fun things to do you will never want to leave. The owner is responsive, kind, and has paid every attention to detail for a true up north Michigan experience. I have nothing to say but great things about the entire week. We can’t wait to plan when we can return. Doug is a fantastic host, with a truly fantastic property. We ate like kings, laughed like fools, and loved like a big happy family. Some of our best memories were made here
