The house was very spacious and clean, except for the smell, not sure if it was musty or old cigarette smoke, but definitely was a detriment to our stay. Pans in the kitchen need to be replaced.

We really enjoy staying here. Thank you for sharing your home!

Really amazed at how much actual space this place has. So comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Had 6 adults and we were not on top of each other. Very quiet area with very little traffic. Kitchen was very user friendly. We all loved it and would not hesitate to stay again.

We really enjoy staying at The Rock. Just spent our 3rd time there. The nostalgia of the place seems to lend an air of relaxation to us. We also appreciated the window A/C units in two of the bedrooms because it was a very hot and humid week!

The house was comfortable and location convenient. However ceiling fan and light fixtures needed to be cleaned. Dust on ceiling fan prohibited us from turning it on and using it. They had floor fans which we used instead. Only had 2 window air conditioners in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. Carpeting in family room needed to be cleaned. House is definitely dated and in need of some upgrades.

The house was very comfortable for the 2 of us. Indian River is such a great location as it looks is not far from any of the up north cities. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great time. This property is very convenient to Burt Lake and Mackinaw Island. It was very relaxing and a well maintained property. The beds were comfy. It was a nice place to have a dog although make sure that you know that the back side of the yard is not fully fenced. They had a great BBQ and we grilled and enjoyed eating outside.

Had a great stay. Plenty of room for everyone. Our Lab loved the backyard. Hope to be back!

House was very clean and had everything we needed. It is bigger than what pictures show. Very nice large room in back with large dining table. Bedrooms were plenty big

This house felt like taking a step back in time, it reminded me of the comforts of my grandparents house. It’s cool how they have kept the house the way it is. The house was clean and it is actually much bigger than it appears from the outside and photos. The location is awesome, there are many restaurants and bars within walking distance. Burt Lake is a short 5-10min walk and a cute neighborhood to walk through. It was about a 25 min drive to Nubs and Boyne Highland. The wifi was great and we both had no issues working from the home. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. Also, I’m so glad they allowed our dog to come with us!

This was a wonderful place to spend a long holiday weekend for snowmobiling. The home had much more space than we expected, plus it was filled with character and history. The trails were just about 2 blocks away, so we could ride from the front door. And there were 2 gas stations where you could fill up just 5 minutes down the trail. We even brought 2 vehicles and a 27-foot enclosed trailer. Parking was a bit tight, but we were able to fit. The house was clean and well stocked with the essentials. WiFi worked great for the grandkids. And it had a fenced back yard for the dog, though some of the fence is a bit short so I wouldn’t rely on just that if you have a big dog or a jumper. We don’t, so it worked great for us. There is a natural spring in the backyard which was shooting out water. Because of the weather, it was forming interesting ice mounds around the basin. All in all, it was a lot more than we expected for the money.

This is a charming house that has clearly been a family gathering spot for decades. The problem is, there is no attempt to ready the place for GUESTS, rather than just family and friends.My biggest issue is that despite the description- THERE IS NO FIREPLACE!I even told the owner when booking that the fireplace was important, as my finance and I were recreating a special weekend. When I arrived I found a giant PADLOCK on the fireplace gate. I called and texted the host and I was told that they were not allowing guests to use the fireplace because they didn't want to purchase liability insurance. Why wouldn't you tell your guests that when they booked, or when they told they needed one???? Better yet- change your property description online!The place was half-cleaned. This is scary in the time of COVID. So we spent or first minutes would things down with lysol wipes rather than relaxing. There was hair in the bathroom on the counters, toilet, and in the bathtub. There was also hair on various surfaces in the house and the shower curtain had mildew at the bottom. The bathmat was dirty. The bedside table has a glass topper and it was badly shattered, leaving huge, dangerous, sharp shards of glass on the bedside table. I almost sliced my hand open reaching to plug my phone in the wall next to the table. The owners did not tell us that we couldn't use the fireplace, and didn't tell us that we needed to bring our own firewood for the outdoor forgot (despite having close to 1000 lbs of wood stacked outside). We were told that is for family use only. Our weekend away was ruined. We would've chosen a different (and cleaner, newer, better maintained) place if we had known their was no fireplace.The backyard also has the feel of a suburb. When you sit on the porch or at the firepit, your view is of houses on all sides, pretty damn close too (a couple years away). So rather than looking out the window into the woods, you get to watch the neighbor fixing his lawnmower on one side, or working on an old car on the other. The neighbors are so close, you can hear everything they say when they are outside. Not the woodsy cabin we had hoped for.This place is should be kept as a family spot. The owners have no interest in investing the time or money or care required to run a vacation rental. We SEVERELY over paid for what we for. (Grandmas old run down place that she doesn't visit anymore and the rest of the family doesn't really want).

Had a great time! Love this cottage. It’s like a time capsule. Will be back!

Spent a long weekend hiking in the woods around the area. Had beautiful fall color ... timing was perfect. This home was a great spot for access to outdoor activities.

Super easy and plenty of space. Brought 3 boats up here to fish and there was plenty of room to park and charge overnight!

Very comfortable house to enjoy a great town and area. Thank you.
