Modernized Single Story Cottage on Beautiful Burt Lake.
The feel of its' warm past history, coupled with modern additions makes this a great get away.
On the East (Sunset) side of Burt Lake, surrounded by pines, this cottage embodies the best of summers in Michigan. With its knotty pine interior and updates in decor, furnishings, and appliances over the years we have added amenities far beyond what we originally thought we might ever need. Among these are Heating/Central Air, Satellite Dish, and Wi-Fi.
Yes this cabin has lots of perks. (We also still have a beautiful wood burning fireplace)
The front and back porches are "all weather"proof..not just screened in.
We have had 3 decks built, one off of the back porch, where we grill out, one is down at beach level for lunches and long lazy days, and one is at the end of our 40 foot dock.
Our water is crystal clear, our 90 ft plus private beach is powdery sand and small smooth stones. The same holds true for the lake. From 4 feet deep at the end of the dock, the crystal clear waters go on gradually deeper for the next 300 plus feet. Wonderful for children, as well as adults. Childrens' Playscape in backyard.
Because our beach is private, you may store your kayaks, small sailfish, or rafts safely on shore there. Rock hounds find treasures aplenty on this stretch of beach, as well.
A Jetski hoist is available if you should need one.
If you have a larger powerboat we can make arrangements to make our covered hydraulic Shore Station hoist available.
This can accomodate up to a 22 foot boat.
Any trailers can be stored at the back of our property off-site.
I-75 Exit 310 Indian River We are only 3 miles from town on the East side of Burt lake.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1941
We are part of a multigeneration family who have lived and loved summers in this very cottage on Waubun Beach since the 1940's...as are many of our dear neighbors here. It's a great place to enjoy your family...we all have played and made wonderful memories over the years...no matter what the ages, a sharing of the spirit of "Up North" as we swim, ski, sail and laugh together followed by nights around a beachfire under a canopy of stars. This summer, other pursuits have precluded us from enjoying the entire summer here so we decided to share it. We trust you will discover the magic of the place as well.
Why the Owner Chose Burt Lake
With Fall just around the corner, visitors flock to our area for the beautiful Fall colors. Our particular location serves as a central point to homebase and investigate the variety of small towns within a half hour from the cottage. Plentiful harvests and beautiful vistas in nearby towns are breathtaking. A particular favorite of ours is the "back roads" route to Petoskey which takes one to one of the highest picturesque views around. Tom's Farm Market sits proudly "up top" with a selection of offerings you'll never forget.
Even closer to to your doorstep to experience...if you bring your own boat,a Fall adventure awaits at the end of your dock right here on Burt lake.
A trip by boat through our Inland waterway and wetlands marshes is incredibly beautiful in Fall. Fall fishing yields its own surprises either right out in front or a short ride to Petoskey to witness the Salmon attempting to leap the waterfall by the Bay marina. Make your reservations now.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We have fantastic sunsets. Our location is "prime seating" for the best show at "days' end" that you will find anywhere. After a day of enjoying the water, woods, hiking, golfing or the beach you can enjoy dining beach-side or on one of our decks or porches. Following dinner you might wish to explore the lake once again, as Burt lake is great for fishing....(perch, walleye, bass, even sturgeon) As we've gathered around a beachfire under the stars we can't help but notice the little lights on fishing boats as they gather around some of the various fishing "holes" on the lake. In bed at the end of the day, you can hear the waters lapping at the beach, the birds calling in the pines and the smell of the forest wafting in your window. Such a nice break from city life. The beauty of nature renews a person.
We are, however, only 1/2 hour from some of the best shopping and events in the "Tip of the Mitt" (as they call our part of the state) Thirty minutes and you can be in Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Gaylord, Mackinaw City or boarding a Ferry to "World famous" Mackinac Island....(remember "Somewhere in Time"?) As you return to the cottage you might also plan a hometown trip to "The Largest Cross in the World" at our Shrine, right here at the south end of our lake and our town. So many things to do, so close to many varied activities. We love it all. We're sure you will too.
