Welcome to Turtle Harbor Lakehouse!! A place for family and friends to gather and escape the normal stresses of life.

In the fall, enjoy the colorful leaves, drive through the tunnel of trees or visit one of the local cider mills.

Any time of year, you can enjoy barbecuing and sharing meals out on the deck while watching the local wildlife. Catch fish or watch the birds and spot the turtles from the large deck or private boardwalk before enjoying a famous Burt lake sunset!

With three bedrooms featuring a queen bed, a full bed, and 4 twin beds, a spacious family room and large well-equipped kitchen, there’s plenty of space for family or friends to unwind.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
I grew up in southern Michigan. Every summer, I would come up north and stay at a lakefront cottage or camp with my family. These memories helped shape me as a person and my goal was to pass on these similar experiences to my children. Turtle Harbor Lakehouse has been the perfect place to do that! With the blend of a clean, comfortable house and the outdoor amenities that I loved with camping, such-as a campfire pit, charcoal barbecue and lots of outdoor seating we have created the perfect northern Michigan getaway.

Turtle Harbor Lakehouse is a place where my family and I have been coming for years to make great year-round memories. Now, we would love to give others the same opportunity to have the same experience and create their own memories of northern Michigan lake life.

Every day of the week there is a new place to explore by car or by boat!!

What makes this property unique
