Cob webs all over, couch dirty, storm door broke, bathroom rugs dirty, carpet in downstairs bedroom musty, screen blew out of patio door and maintenance man didn’t come to fix it after a phone call, ceiling fans dirty. We cleaned everything and left it in better shape. Location is good and convenient. Owner was friendly via text.

Great vacation! I have gone up to burt lake all of my life. this house was perfectly suited, close to Indian river, on the lake. house perfectly suited our needs. Owner and care taker were very nice and helpful. all in all an excellent experience. if you are going to Burt Lake in Indian River Michigan, you won't find a better place to stay.

The house was just right for my family. We had nice sun sets every night. It was only a half hour drive to Mackinaw city. The golf course that was close by was nice. No complaints .

The family had a wonderful time. Cottage in great location and Indian River is a delightful town to vacation in.

Because I am familiar with older cottages on northern michigan lakes, some issues that would be unpleasant for some did not bother me. The good: The person who maintain the cottage and handled check in was great. The location is great for getting around the area and to Indian River or Cheboygan fairly quickly. Good selection of reading material. The deck was used by my 80 year old mother every day. The fire pit. The downstairs bedroom (for my mother). Comfortable beds. Awesome weather. 5 and 6 year old loved the lake and playing in the water (with water shoes). Things to Fix or Improve: Poison ivy in the unmown part of the yard. (Teach your kids how to identify it.) Upstairs bathtub drainage, (slooow). Dock needs minor repair. Couches get worn quickly in rental environment. The two here are no exception. They also need to be moved and cleaned under. Windows in both showers that should be removed in favor of a wall. (Not a problem with exposure due to the shades but it must be a maintenance nightmare and it is awkward trying not to splash water when the windows are so low.) For my two boys, elderly mother and I, this was an excellent place to stay. If you want luxury or immaculate surroundings, find a different place.

Besides a couple days of bad weather it was a great week and the place was really nice. Definitely would stay here again if we come back to this lake.

We had a great time. Two families 4 adults and 6 kids under 9 to 3. The place is the perfect size for the number and age of kids we had. Even sleeping arrangements worked out great with all the kids in 1 room with a fan/ac unit drowning out all noise from downstairs (allowing the adults to enjoy the evening). We tied to think of what we would change, but only a few minor things with an older house was all we could come up with. It was hard to leave. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

We spent a wonderful week up at Burt Lake. It was a 3 family get away and it did not disappoint. The cottage is as shown in pictures, and the location on the lake is perfect. The cottage had all the amenities we needed, and our families felt right at home. We had one small issue, not at the fault of the owner, and it was taken care of immediately, what service! This will be one we keep on our list for returning to again! Thanks for sharing your home, we had a great time!

The house was centrally located to take advantage of several day trips. We vacationed with another family and the house was spacious enough to accommodate all of us comfortably.

We spent a delightful week this past July at this cozy charming cottage. We had three teenagers, four adults, and two pre-teens and there was plenty of room. The sunsets are beautiful, loved boating and jet skiing on Burt Lake. Took a day trip to Mackinac Island which was only thirty minutes away. This cottage was truly comfortable, clean and everything we needed for a wonderful vacation! Can't wait to come back again!
