About this property

Perfect in-town location. Walking distance to beaches, shops, restaurants and local taverns. Cute ranch home with an early 90’s flair. Home has updated kitchen, soaking tub, deck and gas grill. Although the house is not directly on the water, there is a small Public park on the Indian River, just kiddy corner down the street to park your boat during the day, fish off the dock or just enjoy boat watching. You can also ride your bike just down the road to get on the great bike and walking trails which are also the snowmobile trails in the winter months. This is a great property to enjoy ALL of Northern Michigan’s SEASONS in beautiful Indian River, MI.

Nice quiet place to stay

We have been to Indian River before and knew the area where this property is locate. It is a nice quiet neighborhood that is only a couple blocks from whatever you need. The check in was super easy, the house was clean, and had all the normal amenities. The owner lives next door and was very helpful when we arrived. The only issue we had was the cable TV went out sometime while we were out, not the owner’s fault and she fixed the issue as soon as we brought it to her attention. Check out was also very easy, get rid of trash, and generally pick up and the owner took care of the rest. Would definitely recommend this property.

No Issues

The home worked out great. The location worked well and the bed was comfortable and it had all of the amenities we needed. The property is old and not updated but in a quiet community and we were comfortable. Our only complaint is the shower head. Thanks for a great stay. P

Upper Mitten

Indian River was a good central location to see all of the sites. The house was clean and very well furnished with kitchen utensils, towels, blankets, etc. The gas grill was the cleanest grill I have seen in any vacation rental. Loved sitting by the fire pit in the evenings. Internet signal was stronger than in my house.

Felt Like Home

This was the perfect location for our trips to Mackinaw Island and Sault Ste Marie. The house felt very comfortable and that made it easy to relax. Walking distance to beautiful Lake Burt. We also enjoyed Wilson Edge Restaurant and Vivio's Italian Restaurant. We had a great weekend staying at Cliff's Landing!

GREAT PLACE AND LOCATION

We had a great stay -- we were attending a wedding at Fay Martin Resort just up the road. The location was close and the property well suited to have other family members stop by between the wedding and reception. I will definitely book this property again if/'when we return to Indian River.

Clean and Cozy

We needed a place for the five of us, on one level especially with an elderly parent that uses a walker. Other than the three steps to get in the house and the narrowness of the back hallway, this house works like a charm. There is a shower that elderly people can use with grab bars and a tiny step into the shower. It is clean but there is no central air. We happened to arrive at one of the hottest weeks in Indian River. If you don't use the fans and turn on the window air, you will roast. But other than that, it was a very nice place to stay. We did cook a lot of our meals there, which is nice. We stayed there so we could visit Cheboygan, Whitefish Point. Petoskey and Mackinaw City. We all love Burt Lake. Never could find the swimming beach at Mullet Lake. This is a cozy house, perfect for what we needed. I didn't meet the hosts, but they do live next door and never was intrusive, which is very nice esp on vacation. They did respond to a small emergency quickly but that was it! So glad we got to stay there!

Comfy and Roomy!

We enjoyed staying at Cathy's place. There was a lot of space for the 4 of us, all adults. While many of the furnishings were dated, the house was comfortable. The beds were amazing and it was easy to get a good night's sleep. We would stay again!

Central location for our adventure.

Very clean. Plenty of kitchen amenities. Great parking space. We went to Mackinaw and Sault Ste Marie, so this was a convenient location. We made several trips to Burt Lake to swim, which was only a couple of miles away. Be sure to see Cross in the Woods. Gaylord has the Elk park and Call of the Wild Museum.
