The location was great, the cottage was well stocked and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable- i fell asleep quickly every night and slept 10-11 hours which is amazing for me. The yard was large, flowers pretty, peaceful river you can enjoy. It was so peaceful and comfortable. Things to do for the whole family, or sit back and relax. The hosts were great! We look forward to returning.
The river cabin was perfect for our vacation! The cabin was decorated with an up north fishing theme and had everything we needed. The flowers and landscaping were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside with a view of the Sturgeon River. We took a nice walk and bike ride around the neighborhood and would stay there again!
Had a great time. Primo spot for fishing and getting out on inland waterway. River location is nice for docking since you are far enough down river to be out of wind.
Such an adorable cozy cottage! Located on the peaceful Sturgeon River. We Enjoyed our week as it is close to everything you could need. The owners are wonderful people offering so many extraâs. You could not be disappointed in choosing this vacation rental.
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 didnât make it there but thereâs 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.
This property is so incredibly nice! Clean, Wonderful decor, awesome location and amenities! So much to do in the area. Owners were extremely nice and communicative. They even let us change our guest situation at the last minute. We would definitely stay here again and hope they would welcome us back!
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!)
Quaint, clean, and the perfect location! Can not say enough about our experience at the cottage. Deb and Joe were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and were very accommodating. Will be staying again :)
There are not many out there like this special well loved property. The setting is peaceful and quiet with a beautifully landscaped yard to enjoy, as well as a campfire pit. The owners have taken every care to make your vacation a one of a kind memory. You will be sure to want to return! Comfortable furnishings with decor reminiscent of early Michigan vacation land-with many special pieces. Easy access from the beautiful Sturgeon riverfront onto Burt Lake and beyond via provided kayaks or your boat you may moor in front of property. We have rented many vacation properties around the State of Michigan. This one is one of our very favorites! We have booked already for next summer! Thank you Deb and Joe for sharing your "Happy Place."
The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location was great.
Deb and Joe we're great to work with. Very responsive and excellent hosts. The location was perfect - quiet and relaxing which is just what we needed. We will definitely be back again!
This was a great stay all week. The property is located in a great spot. Very close to the lake, beaches and town. Everything is within reasonable walking/biking distance. It was great that we were able to dock our boat right at the cabin on the river. My son enjoyed the fishing available right outside the back door. We had great nights of camp fires and a little BBQ. The owners are close by and very helpful to any of our needs and/or requests. It was a pleasure to stay. The cabin is just large enough for our family of 4 to be inside if needed, but to be honest, who goes to Gods country to stay in doors. We loved being out enjoying our boats and beaches. Great stay.
My wife, kids and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin was everything and more that was listed. Deb and Joe are wonderful host and to talk with also. The kids loved the kayaks, swimming and fishing from the river's edge!! They also loved Murphy when he came over to visit. A++ cabin to rent, would highly recommend a place to stay. Hope to see you next year, thanks.
This quaint little cottage is beautiful clean and relaxing. one of the nicest rentals I have ever used. The host is great and everything goes smoothly. A wonderful quiet setting in a beautiful place. I would give this an A+++
Thank you.
