About this property
Northern Retreat in the Heart of Indian River!
This one-story, ranch home featuring easy access and an open concept will not disappoint. The cottage is located in the heart of Indian River with three bedrooms and one & one-half baths. Its a quick walk to Burt Lake, downtown restaurants, coffee houses, ice cream parlors, boutiques and even the local grocery store.
The full kitchen boasts a gas range, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave and most any appliance you could want. The AC is ice cold for summer months and the gas fireplace is perfect for those cold winter nights. Amenities are extensive with a washer / dryer, high speed internet, 60 channels of Spectrum, as well as a firepit. You'll enjoy how spacious the home feels, as it sleeps up to six people comfortably and is stocked with towels, linens, cooking utensils, laundry detergent, firewood, etc.... Vacationers can also use the private boardwalk in the backyard that leads to Burt Lake waterfront and the driveway to the home is paved with available space for parking roughly three to four vehicles.
Please review house rules prior to booking in order to assure that the cottage is conducive to your needs. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding house policies, as I'm always available and eager to help with your vacation needs.
Thank you!!
