About this property

LOG CABIN ON STURGEON RIVER

This family log cabin in the woods sits on the Sturgeon River, close to downtown Indian River and I-75. Indian River has access to the 2 largest inland lakes in the state, Burt Lake and Mullet Lake. You can put in your non motorized watercraft off the small dock and float to Burt Lake, or your larger boat at the nearby public boat launch.

This home is built as a family retreat, perfect to rejuvenate and be close to nature, yet it’s an easy walk or bike ride to downtown Indian River. This is a half hour drive to Mackinaw City, Gaylord, Petoskey, Harbor Springs. There is plenty to do and plenty of nothing to do, hang a hammock by the river, enjoy the sound of the water, read a book or take a nap.

The home has an open floor plan and completely furnished. There is wifi, TV in the living room has Roku with Disney+, Hulu, etc, DVD/VCR player with movies found in the cabin. Washer and dryer location is unconventional. The large washer is located in the main floor under the stairs. The large dryer is upstairs in the loft.

Pets are not allowed for guests but know that the owners bring their cats/dogs in when they come up. Those with pet allergy especially to cats and dogs must be aware.

This is also non childproof therefore not recommended for small kids, and not handicap accessible due to presence of stairs to enter.

Indian River

Enjoyed the cabin as we used as our launchpad for different day trips; 30 min to Mackinac and 30 min to Petoskey. To improve, leave notes on how to run washing machine, that gave us trouble.

Last minute ski trip

We stayed 3 nights over Presidents’ Day weekend. Would have preferred staying closer to the ski resorts. It all worked out. We skied at Boyne highland on day one.(35 min drive). On day 3 we skied at Boyne mountain(on the way home downstate)

Cozy Cabin

The cabin is located next to the river, giving a very good vibe. Jay has taken care that the cabin is equipped with everything that a traveler may need - toothbrushes, oils, ziplocs, grocery-bags and many other things. We had a comfortable stay.

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful town

The rustic feel of this cabin, inside and out, is a true Pure Michigan getaway. The peaceful and serene natural beauty surrounding it adds to the experience. We went during beautiful Fall colors but I imagine it's perfect in any season. Jay is a good host, always ready to answer any questions. Would highly recommend.

Great cabin and location

Perfect spot a 1/4 mile from town but felt like you were way out in the Forrest. Very clean cabin. Love that past renters have left items in the past. i.e. spices etc. as we did. Only improvement I can suggest is some more comfortable beds. ( we are spoiled with our sleep number at home). Strongly suggest this cabin to anyone looking for someplace up north and on a river. We ate at a couple places just south of Indian River. Two Wheel bar and Thirsty Sturgeon. Great food at both.

About the host

Host profile image
I like to travel especially with family and have used accommodations from sites like these. I take comfort in being able to prepare meals, have plenty of space than a hotel room, and do my laundry.

Why they chose this property

My family and I have spent many summers in Indian River and enjoyed our time. We would like to share this special place and have guests experience this beautiful place.
