If you love water & outdoor activities this is the place for you!!

I have always vacationed in Indian River and fell in love with the people and all the season activities. There is so much that I love to do such as water sports, biking, hiking, taking long walks, down-hill skiing, snowmobiling, side-by-siding, and visiting the surrounding areas such as my all-time favorite Mackinaw Island! I also love to raft or kayak down the Sturgeon River in the summer or the winter. So needless to say I never wanted to leave Indian River when I visited so we have decided to move to Indian River permanently this year.

This cottage is right in the center of all the activities. There is usually a planned event going on somewhere on the beach, downtown or at the parks. You could go to Mackinaw City and catch a ferry to the Island for a day trip, or Petoskey (look for Petoskey stones on the beach). Harbor Springs (lunch overlooking the bay), Nubs Nob & Boyne Highlands (for down-hill or cross country skiing), and Gaylord (view the Elks) are all very close. If you don't want to go anywhere you can just relax in the shade right at the cottage, do a little grilling later on for dinner then a bonfire in the evening. Don't forget to walk to the pier to watch the sunset on Burt Lake.
