We were super impressed with the property and the location, perfect for our Northern Michigan family vacation! Perfectly located for our trips around the area, and so nice to come back to after long days to relax, eat, and sit by the fire. The river was idylic, and the kids had fun waving to the rafters and tubers floating by. Would definitely stay here again when we need a place up North!

Cute cozy place to stay and enjoy the amenities of the northern part of Michigan. Easy and short access to the highway and grocery store, without losing the charm of a cabin right on the river.

Love this Little Cabin!

Ideal location on the Sturgeon River, close to Burt Lake, the North Central State Trail and all that the town of Indian River affords. We appreciated the updated kitchen and new wall opening direct to the dining area on this trip and plan on returning again next year.

Another lovely stay at the river cabin!

This was our family's second stay. This cabin is immaculately clean. The beds are comfy and cozy. A storm caused the power in Indian River to go out a second, and when it came back on a fuse had blown. It was 10 pm and the property manager happily came over within five minutes. Our kids love this place, and we especially love sitting outside watching the river go buy. Bonus, there are always a few duck families that are very fun to watch!
