About this property

Cozy Burt Lake Cottage

Enjoy beautiful Burt Lake's crystal clear water, sandy beach and awesome views. Endless boating and water sports on Northern Michigan's Inland Waterway. Boat to three other large lakes on this chain of lakes or take a boat ride to Mackinaw Island. Perfect place to relax and listen to the waves roll in or take advantage of all the area's activities. It is a short drive to many of Northern Michigan's attractions and dining. Public access to launch your personal watercraft is within walking distance from the cottage. Take in some of the local cuisine with famous Hoppe's Tavern for great food and drinks.
This property is located on Burt Lake's East side with over 300 feet of sandy frontage. We have all the best of Burt Lake including million dollar sunsets, this is the ultimate family getaway. The home has 2 bedrooms and features 2 queen size beds. Lots of space to sprawl out at the cabin or hang out at our community fire pit and meet some of the neighbors. The porch has a wonderful retractable awning for enjoying the sun or shade, we also have lots of furniture (although not pictured currently). There is a gas grill if you prefer to cook outside and perfect for outdoor dining. Bring your boat, kayak or canoe, we have a V-hull lift for smaller boats (16-18'). A great swimming area and awesome fishing lake. Your own vacation paradise.
During the winter season, enjoy other activities like ice fishing, snowmobiling, Snowshoeing, or Skiing at Nub’s Nob or Boyne Highlands.

Quiet Clean With Beach

This location was nested in a small community directly on the water with a beach. The check in and out was very easy. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was completely stocked. The property and surrounding properties were clean and nicely maintained. The air conditioner however wasn't as powerful as it needed to be for the whole place. They provided fans but we did bring an extra one. I personally was comfortable but I get cold easier than the rest of my family. Overall I would say they were not to uncomfortable but the weather was a bit cooler than usual the first part of the stay. Thank you for letting us stay and we would definitely go back.

Family vacation

We were in town to visit family & had a memorial lunch for my father in law. We were able to rent this house for 3 days and very thankful as most places require a week stay. Jeni was very accommodating and always available when we needed anything. The house was great & right on the water. Very nice beach & community.

Cozy Cottage

Nice location. Well stocked with many unexpected supplies. Games, books, movies, bikes, kayak. Home was adequate in size for us and great location on the lake. Had a very strong wind the last night and two of the windows blew open in the middle of the night. Scary and chilly moments.

Cute cottage

The cottage was nice. I was told it was unlocked and keys would be on the table but none were found. I sent two messages to the property manager but never got a Rey. We had a nice time. The kitchen was well stocked and the property has a kayak and bikes to use which was fun. The neighbor kept an eye on us!! Lol I would stay here again.

Family Getaway

The cabin was perfect for our family vacation to northern Michigan. The location was great - we went on a few day trips and came back in the evenings to play whiffle ball or frisbee in the yard, or just sit on the deck and enjoy the view of Burt Lake. We had a wonderful time and the cabin had everything we needed to feel right at home.

Great place to stay and lakeside experience

The property was clean and well equipped. Great view right on the water both from inside and on the lovely deck. I used the larger bike of the two provided and the 2-person kayak which was great on the water, a little heavy for me to handle on land. The property is well located for travel in the area. Neighbors were helpful and lovely. Thanks so much. It was a lovely experience.

Very nice stay, but boat is required to be out of the water

Like everyone else has already stated, the neighbors next door were very nice; the place was very clean; the view was nice. However, the Home Owner's Assocation requires the use of a boat to be lifted out of the water after every use. Furthermore, the lift is very outdated compared to most everyone else nearby. The lift does NOT have carpeted bunk boards running lengthwise under the hull to give the boat and motor ideal support. Rather, the lift has 2 wooden crossbeams and 4 metal poles and that are wrapped with cushioning that does not always stay in place. That concerned me because of potential scratch damage to the hull of my new boat. I simply won't take a chance and therefor would not return to this place unless the lift was upgraded. For me, this is very important as we are avid fisherman.

Summer time relaxation

Great view of the water. Cottage has all that you need to eat and sleep well. It’s a semicircle of 18 cottages facing Bert lake with a large grassy area leading to the water. Year round neighbors very friendly. Birds of all kinds everywhere. The only drawback was the gas’s grill. No lava rocks and some parts need replacement. It worked fine but could have been better. All in all a fantastic experience on Bert lake.
