Family vacation on Burt

Our family has vacationed on Burt Lake for many many years but we are outgrowing the ability to stay in one house. This rental suited our needs perfectly, was private and comfortable, and the view of the lake was lovely. We’re grateful for our memories and plan to come back.

WEEK STAY AT COZY LAKESIDE CABIN

We had a wonderful time during our stay! Amenities and cleanliness were top notch. This is a very cozy cabin with beautiful views. The only downfall is that Burt Lake has a tendency to become extremely rough. All in all, we would definitely recommend staying here! Michelle L.

Good place

The place was very clean. The owner was readily available to answer questions. The only negatives were the rocks in the water. I know nothing can be done about that, however, my 75-year-old mother was very anxious to walk over the slippery rocks to get in the water. Also, the owner provided firewood which was very nice. however sitting around the fire ring on the beach was a little tricky, as it was on the hill. But overall it was a great place to stay!!

Wonderful stay

The property was exactly as listed, plenty of room for all. Don’t hesitate to rent due to no air conditioning, i brought one just in case and never unpacked it. Lake breeze was more than enough! Beds are comfy. Bunk rooms are small. Property owner was quick to answer any questions we had and if he wasnt available had a back up # to call-excellent communication!

Wonderful Get Away

This property was exactly as advertised. With an awesome lakefront location it made Burt Lake and Indian River perfectly accessible. Communication was prompt, wifi was strong, and accommodations were comfortable. Could consider putting clocks in the bedrooms but other than that we had everything we needed AND wanted.

Waterfront renovated cabin has a great view

Very nice renovated cabin. We loved the deck and spent most of our time there overlooking Burt Lake. The weather was perfect - the evenings cool so sleeping with the windows open was wonderful. The last two nights were warm and humid—sleeping not so great (home has no A/C). Fans did help a little, though. Very comfortable home overall. The back cottage needs a few additions—cable tv, bedside tables and lamps. The guest bath in the main house with the great renovated shower needs a better hot water heater (hot water goes away fast). Still, this VRBO deserves five stars. We will definitely use this VRBO home again. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay and the view was marvelous. Owner was fabulous! Highly recommend.

Great lakefront cabin

Cabin met all of our needs and the water access was superb. There were a good number of beds in the main cabin so everyone could have their privacy. And it was nice to have the separate, smaller cabin for my mom. The location was convenient to downtown Indian River for groceries, dinner, etc. Cabin itself wasn't super fancy, but had everything we needed. And the lake was beautiful. Really nice little "beach" area with chairs and sand for the kids to play, plus a dock for the boat we rented for the week. The water was shallow so our kids could play endlessly without concerns about them getting too deep. Very quiet street that's tucked away...saw deer almost every day we were there. We texted with the owner a few times and he was quick to provide responses to our questions. Slight downside there was no onsite laundry, but plenty of linens available for our use.

A week at Burt Lake

The cottage at Burt Lake was great. We had a tremendously hard rain storm and had some minor water problems. I talked with the owner Justin Whitman and he could not have been more accommodating to me and my family. He made sure our every need was taken care. He even refunded some of our rental fee because he wanted to make sure we were taken care of. I would highly recommend the cottage at 465 Sturgeon Bay to anyone knowing how we were treated and taken care of by Mr Whitman and his associate Molly. I would give our week at this cottage five stars. Thanks Mr Whitman and Molly for making this week a wonderful week for me ang my family.

Great Place for A Getaway!

We enjoyed our stay on Burt Lake. The location is great for boating the Inland Waterways. While the cottage is older it is clean and maintained and has everything you need! We were very happy with our decision to stay at this location!

Lovely place on the water

While the weather could have been better, the place was great. Very clean with a lot of supplies. Beds pretty comfortable but soft. The beach was fun. The wifi is slow but I was still able to use my Roku. Plenty of room for us but if you had 10 people it would be crowded. Very quiet at night. Less than 10 minutes from Indian River stores.

Great cabin!

This is the cutest cabin with the best location! I will definitely be coming back. The property even has an additional cabin which would be great for family. We had a great time enjoying the lake and bon fires on the beach! The property owner was super easy to contact and made it super easy to check in!

Weekend getaway with friends!

We had the best weekend! The cabin was simple but had everything we needed! The location was perfect, we had a blast floating in the lake and having beach bonfires at night. Thanks Justin!
