The cabin is a perfect, easy to access location right on the Sturgeon River that provided a beautiful backdrop during the winter.
Curt was a helpful host with great communication and was very accommodating. I will definitely keep this cabin in mind for future snowmobiling trips since it was the perfect size for a smaller group and very close to the trails!
Highly recommended!

Lack of snow didn’t ruin our short getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy with enough room for our group. The background is lovely with the river flowing by. Very peaceful, but close to everything. Will definitely stay there again!

Listing was accurate. Plenty of room for us two but can easily accommodate 6-7 adults with no problem. Adequate space but still a cozy, warm feel. Near the end of the dead-end means no traffic. Walking distance to grocery and other amenities. Super clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Nice to have some access to the garage space.

Great cabin close to lots of great stuff right on the river. Super clean, with plenty of beds, a big kitchen, fire pit next to the river, and everything you need for a fun weekend up north. The hosts were amazing and we’ll definitely be back!

We had a great time at the house for the weekend. The home was very clean and well thought out for a rental home. Loved seeing the river and we are wanting to come back next summer to actually
Enjoy the river. Out of all the rental homes we have rented over the years this was by far one of the best! Highly recommend this home.

Perfect cabin in the perfect location for a perfect stay!! The cabin exceeded our expectations. The view from the back porch was better than the pictures and coffee and cocktails by the river were exactly what we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will be back and hopefully get to stay here again!!

We took our 9 yr old and 14 yr old grandkids and had a fabulous weekend. This place was close to everything yet felt like we were in the woods and secluded! House was perfect for the four of us and very clean. We’ll be back!

The Lodge has a great location and a serene setting. The river is very relaxing with the occasional entertainment provided by rafters.
The cabin is very nicely equipped and furnished. Nothing is overlooked. We will almost certainly book a return visit.

Loved this cabin located on the Sturgeon River and tucked away from the center of town. Hosts had the property in immaculate and clean condition. Loved the little extras like the note that was left, and the bag of chocolate covered cherries and a few incidentals like mustard, mayo, ketchup and other pantry items. Great place to stay!!

The cabin was perfect for my family of teens plus adults. The beds and linens were super comfortable, kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with necessities and the place was clean and well kept. Check in was easy and the host is really responsive if needed. The location was very central, about 30 minutes to Lake Mi to hunt for Petoskey stones and 30 minutes to Lake Huron and many state parks in between. We didn’t get to enjoy the sturgeon River but we plan to next time we visit. We saw families tubing down it and it looked like a blast. In town I highly recommend Christopher’s Cafe for delicious breakfast, the biscuits and gravy there are great! We’re definitely hoping to return someday.

We enjoyed our stay at Indian River cabin on the Sturgeon River. The cabin was very clean , roomy, with comfortable seating inside and outside by the fire pit. We loved all the art work displayed in every room. We even saw a deer in the front yard of another cabin. Very close to town but still felt secluded as we enjoyed a very warm late October weekend with beautiful fall colors. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

We had a great experience at the cabin and enjoyed the relaxing river in the backyard. We saw ducks floating down the river and signs of deer too. The cabin was cozy and comfy and the restaurants in the area were yummy. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin with us. The Rodgers Family

As advertised and with so many 5 star reviews it speaks for itself. Our golf group of 4 had a great time. Property is very clean and love the location. Close to town but off the beaten path. Great to sit outside and listen to the River.
Communication with owner and check in was easy.
Will definitely stay again!

This was our third year in a row staying at the Lazy Sturgeon Lodge, and we will definitely be back again next summer. The new patio and fire pit are a great addition to an already beautiful cabin. So relaxing to sit in the new Adirondack chairs and listen to the River.

Family Holiday
My family and I rented the cabin for the fourth of July weekend. It was perfect the location was out of the hustle and bustle. But just a short drive away from waterfalls and the Mackinac bridge.
It comfortably slept seven people and they provided towels and linens.
The outdoor area was just as co for table and enjoyable as the inside of the cabin.
Very pleased and would recommend to anyone!
