About this property

Relaxing cottage on Burt Lake

Come and escape to this remodeled cottage with over 150 feet of lake frontage. Sit and relax in the living room only 12 feet from the waters edge or lounge in the chairs on the deck while enjoying the view. Dip in the hot tub as you stargaze. Enjoy the best sunrise from the living room. The 2 bedrooms on main floor include a queen bed in the master bedroom with a private bathroom and a king bed in the guest bedroom. The bathrooms have tiled showers. Narrow staircase to upstairs consists of 4 twin beds in 2 separate areas, there is a low ceiling which makes it a perfect place for children. In addition, there is a small playhouse with a twin bed loft for one who wants to venture and sleep in the woods. An outside gas grill, patio table and 4 chairs make for a lovely outside dining experience in the summer. You can also roast marshmallows and gather around the fire pit at night. A private dock allows for easy lake access where you can fish right off of the dock! To complete your stay, kayaks and life vests are provided. The water on the west side of Burt tends to be calm. Would recommend water shoes due to rocks on the shore.

Best holiday home on the lake

We had an amazing 2 weeks on the lake. The house is fantastic with everything you need. We had fabulous days/evenings sitting outside and just taking in the views. Greg and Melissa are with out a doubt the best hosts we have ever had. Very responsive, proactive and going the extra mile to ensure our stay was the best it could be. When we go back to northern Michigan this place will for sure be on the short list.

Awesome home!

We loved our stay at Burt Lake. The home was beautiful, in a great location. We rode bikes, hiked, drove ATVs at Big Bear, went to Mackinac Island, and shopping in both Harbor Springs and Mackinaw City. The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor seating area was perfect. My teens especially enjoyed the hot tub. My only negative is that I’m used to sun blocking curtains at home, so I woke up really early everyday! The owners were quick to answer if we had any questions. We would love to visit this home again someday.

Perfect summer get away!

This was a perfect summer get away! The house was perfect for our family of five plus one more. The house has everything you need for cooking any and all meals. We ate outside at the picnic table for every meal. The hot tub was a huge bonus and the fire pit too. Our kids were never board! They have games, outdoor things and a nice yard to run around in. Beds were very comfortable. We can’t wait to come back next year! Melissa and Greg were great and very attentive when we has any questions. Thank you again:)

Perfect Up North Lake Cottage

Our large family of 6 typically has to compromise and either stay in a large house or little up north cottage depending on what we are prioritizing. This comes with a sacrifice, amenities and climate control or true cottage experience. No compromise here. We had sleeping space to spare. Each room had its own ac and heat. A good night's rest keeps the lake life going. Gregory had us provisioned beyond our expectation. Didn't matter what little comfort I forgot. He had me covered. Spacious living room and amazing out door living. Our one rained out evening we spent watching a moving while feeling we were on the lake. That is a beautiful way to relax and watch a storm. After logging long days on the lake the kids enjoyed the hot tube while my wife and I grilled, relaxed on the deck and burned a fire. Your family will love this little cottage!!!

Awesome Property

This was our second year staying in this cottage and it did not disappoint. Great location, clean, has everything you need and even things you may have forgotten. We like coming in late August…it’s quiet and not so crowded. Excellent communication with the Owner.

UP vacation

The property was a little more secluded than we expected, but it was so nice. It was cozy but with enough space for our family of 6. The view was spectacular & we enjoyed the patio/hot tub. Would definitely stay there again.

The best! Will never forget our stay

We were traveling cross country and needed a place to stay for a week to work. After much searching in the UP, this spot was the best we could find. The aunt rises and sunsets were both exceptional, especially the latter from the hot tub. The view from the living room is all lake. Everything else was above average. Bring food and condiments and you won’t need to leave the whole week you’re there! The internet was solid too, only dropped occasionally, while two of us were on our computers all day and often doing video calls. Thanks!!!

Peaceful and fun for everyone!

The house and amenities were all great and we enjoyed using them all, the hot tub, fire pit, kayaks, and of course, the lake with sunrises over it!! The home is comfortable and had plenty of room for the 6 of us. We really enjoyed our stay and the close proximity to Mackinaw, Petoskey, hiking and golfing. Thank you to our hosts for kindness shown.
