This was our family’s 3rd year staying here. The house has everything we needed, super clean, and the location is perfect. It’s the best of both worlds having the view of both the lake and the river. The lake breeze and sunsets are amazing. Being able to park our boat right on the dock made it so convenient. And we loved walking and riding bikes into town for ice cream, coffee or a beer. We had a fabulous vacation week!

Great Location close to beach

This is our second visit here and the place works out great for our family vacation. Kitchen is well stock as we ate all of our meals in except for one during our stay. Home is located one house away from park and beach, so easy to get to. Plenty of room to sleep for our group of nine.

Fun location

Very nice home with great location to the inland waterway. Indian River is a fun little town. Bear River sports has awesome old school Mini golf and a fun ATV tour. Only had one issue come up with the house and owner addressed it ASAP. The family is already talking about wanting to come back here again.

This is our third time staying at this property. As in the past everything was great. The house handled all 13 of us and the kids enjoyed staying in one room together. The views from the deck and dock were great and bonfires were awesome. Would highly recommend this property!

Summer Get Away

This cottage is a perfect location for our 3 daughters and their adult children. Many activities take place during the week with Boarting being the prime one. Bicycling, golf, kayaking and eating ice cream top the list.

Great location for family vacation

House is located right on the river with easy access to Burt Lake and short walk to Beach/Park. Plenty room indoor and lots of outdoor seating. Rented a pontoon boat for the week and had plenty of room to dock it behind the house. Nice dock area with table and chairs and benches. Would definitely go back again in the future. Had minor issue with some of the bed linens, but it was quickly resolved by the owners.

Good time had by All.

The location worked well for boating, biking, kayaking swimming and fishing. We were a family of 12 from 3 generations. The cottage and grounds were extremely well kept. Being a family of Michigan State Spartans, it was somewhat difficult flying The Ohio State University flag for the week.

Quick stay - used for extra housing at Christmas

Everything was very nice. We really only slept here and ate breakfast as our family has a home in the area. This was used for extra bedrooms. Very clean, and modern, right on the river and in town. I have had issues with VRBOs canceling on me and right from the start I had interaction with the property and felt good about the reservation. Highly recommend.

Great location and house has everything you need.

Only a couple complaints. The price per night should be changed to better reflect the cleaning fee and the service fee. Large fees charged after booking and we would have likely chosen other location.

What makes this property unique

The beauty of our home, aside from its comfort and aesthetics, is the convenience of being on the river, just off of the lake, and less than a minute's walk from the beach. The best of all worlds! Not visiting during the summer? No problem! Skiing and snowmobiling are within minutes!
