Beautiful Northern Michigan Lake Cottage

Great house for a family vacation!

We had the best week! The house was great and had everything you could need. Only complaint is all the rocks, zebra mussels and no sandy beach. I do realize not really anything the homeowner can do with regards to those issues. Was hard for my youngest two to enjoy the water, and make sure to bring water shoes. We’ve been boating on Burt lake for years and never realized how rocky some parts are. We still had a great time and kids still ask if we can go back daily.

Everything was great! Beautiful view and great location. The house had absolutely everything we needed plus more! Great communication with the host! Our family has been enjoying the area for many years, and this was one of our favorites! We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Lakehouse is beautiful and spacious. Washer and dryer a huge plus. House doesn’t have air conditioning and this was a problem with an unseasonable heat wave.

We have been vacationing on Burt Lake for over 50 years, & over that period, have rented from several owners. We started renting from Joe about 17 years ago, & his house is by the far the best of all our previous stays. So, needless to say, we'll be returning again & again. From the beautiful craftmanship of interior woodwork to the peaceful setting on a quiet road, this is a wonderful place to vacation. Thank you Joe for this opportunity for our family to continue enjoying the beauty of Burt Lake!

My family and i have stayed at this cottage 4 times and it never disapoints. Its got fantastic space with large community room but also space to have some privacy. I stay in the master suite downstairs and my sister and her family stay upstairs. I love the views, water and woodss

Beautiful clear water. Cool days 20 degrees cooler than the record temps in Ohio. Lots of lake toys. Beautiful house. It was awesome. We’d love to come back.

My family thoroughly enjoyed this property. It was our first time to Burt Lake/Indian River, however it would be our last. The best rating that I can provide is that we look forward to staying here again. The sunsets are amazing!

Plenty of room for the 4 of us. We lucked out with perfect weather, enjoyed a couple of hikes, a day on Mackinac Island, plenty of hours reading and enjoying the sun on the dock. No wifi was actually nice to really disconnect, even for the teenagers. No need for AC, with the shady lot it never got too hot during the day and nice and cool at night. Casual furniture and bedding, as you would expect in a family lake house. Pretty well appointed kitchen, only suggestion would be a nonstick pan (had to cook eggs in a small nonstick pot) but if that is the only recommendation then I think it was all quite good! :) Owner was very responsive too.

Joe’s lake house was perfect for our family vacation. We had everything we needed with lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed the lake time, visits to nearby towns like Petoskey, the local restaurants, and of course, Mackinac Island. What a beautiful, peaceful place with amazing sunsets! Thank you, Joe, for sharing your beautiful lake house.
