About this property

Peaceful lakefront cottage, Prime location, Nature Preserve at your back door

This tranquil cottage in a quiet setting is nestled between the edge of Burt Lake and Colonial Point Forest. The 350 acre nature preserve is a spectacular place to walk, jog. or ride your bikes among the towering White Pines, and is right outside your backdoor. On this west side of the lake, you will be protected from prevailing winds and enjoy the beautiful sunrises each morning. Your family will love the flat, sandy, 200ft beach for playing, shallow water for swimming, relaxing on the spacious dock and campfires at night. End each day by gazing at the thousands of stars in the dark Michigan sky above you.

This home is located within 15-20 miles from Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac Island. These towns provide wonderful shopping, entertainment. family activities, world-class golf, skiing and great restaurants. Those who want to cross the Mackinac Bridge and explore the Upper Peninsula. it is only a short drive away. The Great Lakes Shipweck Museum / Whitefish Point, Tequamenon Falls, and Soo Locks are popular day trips from the cottage. To the south, you'll also find Bay Harbor, Charlevoix and Traverse City which are exciting areas to explore.

Beautiful home
Wonderful roomy, clean, and bright home. Well equiped. Beach is nice. On a quiet road not far from a boat ramp. This is a pretty quiet part of the lake. The yard has a nice mix of shade and sun. We enjoyed are stay with no surprises.

Group Vacation
My husband and I plus 3 other couples vacation every year somewhere in Michigan at a different place every year. We chose this cottage as it had the required 4 bedrooms (plus an extra) and right on a lake. It was a beautiful cottage and we had a wonderful time. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed. We had many corn hole tournaments, went kayaking and fishing, and many card games in the evening. Our favorite place was on the extended deck with chairs and tables. We may come back to this cottage sometime!

Heavenly week on Burt Lake!
This is our second year vacationing on Burt Lake, but first year in this house on the west side of lake. The house was perfect for us - grandma and grandpa on one side of house and parents and grandkids in the 4 bedrooms on the other side. Beautiful home with all the amenities we could possibly want. Two fire pits, one on the beach and one next to house, that we really enjoyed. We rented a pontoon for two days and had a blast tubing, hitting the sandbar, and taking great cruises around the lake. Will definitely book again!!!!!
