    Burt Lake is wonderful. The views from the house and deck are great. The large seating area at end of dock was especially fun. It is the most equipped house we've ever stayed in. So many extras were provided.

    We had a great time at this very nice house. We had high expectations, which the house exceeded. The house and furnishings were excellent. Even fresh flowers in every room. The lawn, beach, dock and lake were also excellent. And we enjoyed walking in the nature preserve just across the street.

    We have stayed in Burt Lake many times and this house is by far the nicest place we have rented. Host was very responsive and helpful, house was clean and comfortable and a great lakefront property. Would stay again.

    Fantastic place, pictures don't do it justice. Bedrooms have all been updated beautifully. Fully stocked kitchen. Fresh flowers and cookies upon arrival. Great location! Kayaks and corn hole. Would stay here again in a minute.

    We stayed with our extended family and really enjoyed the wonderful location and beautiful property. The owners were great to communicate with and check in and out was very simple.

    Wonderful roomy, clean, and bright home. Well equiped. Beach is nice. On a quiet road not far from a boat ramp. This is a pretty quiet part of the lake. The yard has a nice mix of shade and sun. We enjoyed are stay with no surprises.

    My husband and I plus 3 other couples vacation every year somewhere in Michigan at a different place every year. We chose this cottage as it had the required 4 bedrooms (plus an extra) and right on a lake. It was a beautiful cottage and we had a wonderful time. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed. We had many corn hole tournaments, went kayaking and fishing, and many card games in the evening. Our favorite place was on the extended deck with chairs and tables. We may come back to this cottage sometime!
