This lovely pet-friendly ranch style home has a great floor plan where you can look out at the canal from the master bedroom, living room, and all-windowed family room. It is great for all seasons including boating, fishing, fall season colors, snowmobiling, ice fishing, downhill and cross country skiing,

Sleeping arrangements can sleep up to 8 and include queen bed and bunk beds in the master, full-size in spare bedroom, and queen sofa bed close to the family room. The home includes TV's in living room and master bedroom set up with WIFI and ROKU for watching movies and streaming, and the stackable washer and dryer is close to bedrooms.

The fully stocked kitchen has all your cooking needs as well as a toaster oven for your fast cooking or reheating. Enjoy the Keurig coffeemaker in the morning, dinner and wine at night on the outdoor deck dining table! There is no AC but we have a whole house fan to bring in the cool night air to sleep in. Just close the windows to keep it cool during the day.

You have a 75-foot dock available for your boating needs on the canal with the river seconds away, and the nice sized deck with a charcoal grill to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Indian River Marina and Howe Marina are close by and offer boat rentals and boating ramps to drop your boat in.

Located conveniently between beautiful Burt and Mullett Lakes, it is on one of the canals in a cozy neighborhood just off US 27 and 75 is less than 10 minutes away.

Within 30 to 45 min drive are many attractions from Petoskey to Mackinac Bridge, Mackinac Island and Tahquamenon Falls. In the summer enjoy fishing &/or boating on the water, hiking, bike trails, golfing and taking a stroll downtown to experience the fine dining, quaint shops and other entertainment within walking distance. 4 wheeling trails are nearby.

In the fall enjoy the Fall colors by taking a drive through the Tunnel of Trees at Harbor Springs.

Enjoy wintertime by snowmobiling on the trail system 2 blocks away, ice fishing and cross-country skiing. Boyne Mountain is 1/2 hour away for downhill skiing.

We would love for you to bring your small dogs/cats to enjoy your vacation with, please be sure to add your pet with your reservation. (A $25.00 pet per day/$100 per week fee will be added).

    Really enjoyed our stay great area for boating, fishing, eating, and shopping. Canel provides excellent protection for your boat and has easy access to Burt Lake, Mullet Lake and beyond. Interior house cleaning was excellent. Dwelling could use a little handyman help in inside (light above vanity missing, toilet seats lose (we tightened), etc. Outside needs some cleaning but is very nice.

    Our only complaint is that the landscaping in the front of the house could be done. Just weeds throughout the front of the house. It would be better for the neighborhood look as well. Other than that, great location and house.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is exactly what the pictures show. It was clean, has comfortable beds, nicely updated bathrooms and had everything we needed. Docking space was plenty for a 24ft tritoon. Loved having easy access to the boat. Kris responded quickly to questions. The neighbors were also very friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

    The property was clean. Adequate bedding/towels. Nice neighborhood. We loved having a place for our pontoon. The yard/landscaping could use some work. Unfortunately it was in the 90’s during our visit and the house has no AC.

    Very cute place on the canal. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, and they even had some laudry detergent. Location was excellent. It was close to town and Indian River Marina.

    The house is nice. Upgrades to the bed sizes would be great. And the outside landscaping Is all weeds, including when you walk to the front door. Removal of all landscaping would look nicer than the weeds. Great location and communication with the owner.

    It was in a good location. Had some great space but couldn't use Four Seasons room with carpet and the bedrooms I kept my shoes on and did not let my luggage sit on the floor. The pet odor was very intense. I'm glad I didn't bring my pet. He does not have accidents but he would have learned some bad habits there. I hate to leave a bad review but I do not want anyone else to experience what we did. Just a couple other minor issues like no hooks in the bathroom and the screen door knob falling apart. Most of the smoke alarms have been removed. The TV in the bedroom didn't work because the remote batteries were very corroded.

    We stayed over the long 4th of July weekend and the house served the purpose we were looking for. It has an amazing backyard with deck and boat dock, making it a great location! I feel the home is in need of several updates/upgrades along with a few minor issues that we discussed with the owner. Friendly neighbors, easy to launch boat at Indian River Marina, which is within walking distance.

    Great location on the inland waterway! Like to the fact, you could keep your boat right out front of the house. Would come back again!
