This is an immaculate rental with every amenity you can think of in place and the owners were next-door, ready and willing to help out with whatever you might need. We really enjoyed the location which is extremely convenient right off of I 75 and on the sturgeon river just less than ~10 houses in from Burt Lake. We use the kayaks and the paddleboards, which was a lot of fun on the river. We brought a very large boat that is 22 feet long and quite deep and had a little bit of difficulty getting out into the lake, but nothing insurmountable. There were some spots that were very shallow, so just listen closely to directions and you should be fine if you are bringing a deep v boat. Both the owners are incredibly kind and helpful, which our kids who are between the ages of three and 10 commented on multiple times. And we would agree. Their dog is super sweet and great with kids too. The house itself is very updated with a well-stocked kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the pull out couch fit two small kids no problem. Everything felt very high quality and thoughtful. Definitely not a rustic upper Michigan cottage. This is a very comfortable, upscale place to stay. We didn’t make it there but there’s also a nice beach just a block or so away. Easy to walk and accessible. Overall this was a great stay. I would highly recommend!!

The cottage is quintessential in its appeal as a northern Michigan getaway. Perfectly situated near the mouth of the Sturgeon River as it empties into Burt Lake. The river is feet from the back deck of the cottage. We kayaked up the Sturgeon and rented a boat from a nearby marina; the Inland Waterway is remarkable, with tens of thousands of acres of lakes and rivers on which to traverse. Joe and Deb were remarkable hosts; super responsive to various inquiries we had about the area. The cottage is very well appointed and definitely harkens back to vintage summertime vacations with family.

Our little vacation at the Riverfront Cottage was unbelievable. Exceptional location on the Sturgeon River. Very nice two bedroom cottage. Extraordinary decorations ~ with outdoorsy appeal. Love the maps on the walls of the lake location and surrounding area. The accommodations very outstanding ~ we had everything we needed and more. Nice surroundings on the tranquil riverfront. We always looks for cottages with firepits so we can have the one thing we always enjoy - time around the campfire. The location was perfect ~ close enough to town we could walk, but secluded enough that we enjoyed the quiet outdoors. Lots of wildlife ~ deer, ducks, right across the river, and nice state and city beaches with vacations close by to have fun. The cottage is amazing and we were grateful to her the story of their family cabin from Deb. We did not need the air conditioning even with weather is the 80's. We most definitely will try to secure some time next year. This is exactly what you are looking for if you have a small number looking for a great place to stay. I could go on and on about all the details. You'll have to book your stay to see what I mean. Thanks again to Deb and Joe, and of course Murphy (we might be getting a dog too!)
