Located on the west side of Burt Lake, one of the most beautiful and biggest lakes in the state, I'm sure our cottage will provide wonderful place for the that vacation you deserve. The cottage shares over 300 feet of waterfront, a fire pit, and swimming dock for you and your family to enjoy. Or just sit take in the view of the lake 100 feet off the edge of the deck.

Children and adults love to swim in the hardpacked sandy shoreline extending out over 200 feet before gradually droppingoff into crystal clear water.

Wood is provided for the shared fire pit (wood is provided), dock, mooring anchor for your boat and plenty of space to relax and enjoy your stay. There is a large shared grassy area with a swing set and basketball hoop - a fun place to meet and mingle with new people. For the fisherman, the association also maintains a fish cleaning shed.

Many of our clients have been renting from us for over 20 years and even come from as far away as Pennsylvania.

Conveniently located between Indian River and Alanson on the waterfront of Burt Lake near the mouth of the Crooked River (well known as an excellent fishing hole). Enjoy the 45 miles of northern Michigan's Inland Waterway (connecting 5 lakes) extending from Pickerel Lake to Lake Huron. Just minutes from Mackinaw City, Petoskey and Harbor Springs.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WILL BE BRINGING YOUR OWN WATERCRAFT SO WE CAN PROVIDE YOU THE PROPER INFORMATION FOR YOUR STAY.

Note: Guests need to bring paper products for kitchen and bath, bed linens (pillows, blankets, spreads are provided). A detailed list of additional items will be provided.

    We really enjoyed our stay there. Very cute place and loved the view of the Burt Lake. The water smelt very sultry, which was disappointing but other than that, it was a great stay.

    We had a fun time at the cottage on the lake. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed as was described in the listing. It was great having the AC that made sleeping much more comfortable. The only downside was that we ended up buying bottled water for drinking and cooking as the tap water had a distinctive sulfur smell to it. Otherwise, it was a very enjoyable week at Burt Lake. We highly recommend this property and may even book again next year.

    The quintessential up north lake cottage. The owners have done a wonderful job of keeping much of the vintage interior intact and that is what sold me on renting it. The woodwork, lots of lamplight, and views of Burt Lake made it feel warm and inviting. The kitchen is absolutely charming. It is an easy 30-minute drive to Mackinaw City, Petoskey, or Harbor Springs. A great spot for a quiet and relaxing Fall weekend.

    It was very well equipped for cooking meals which we did most of the time!!! The view of the lake was amazing! And it was so quiet which is nice because we live on a very busy street intercity so it was delightful.

    Great quiet location on Burt lake, mooring buoys and daytime dock provided, fire pit, swing chair on shoreline ..... shallow sandy bottom extended a few hundred yards from shore was great for hanging out on floaties. Large shady deck on back of cottage looking out on the lake (with barbecue, tables and chairs) was wonderful. The cottage had everything we needed. Furnishings were charming and comfortable. We will be back!
