Further details for this vacation cabin rental in Indian River, Michigan

Inside Details:

This is the perfect home for Northern Michigan enthusiasts looking to live large while on vacation Up North. Holidays, weekends, and weekly trips here will certainly be extra special with your family and friends! The home comes complete with oak hardwood flooring throughout and terra cotta tile in all the wet areas. It has custom-built cabinetry and stainless steel appliances in the chef’s kitchen and a BBQ deck and gas grill just off of the dining area. The main level also has a tidy living area with comfy seating and a 46” flat panel TV (complete with an Onkyo surround sound system) and a master bedroom with a private entrance to the deck overlooking the Sturgeon River and a queen-size Tempur-Pedic mattress for extra comfort . The upstairs is perfect for a couple and at least 4 kids; two in the smaller bedroom and two in the loft overlooking the great room. The upstairs master bedroom has gorgeous views of the Sturgeon River, vaulted ceilings.

Outside Details:

Outside, between the home and the river, is a nice lawn to run around on with your dog and a beautiful stone enclosed bonfire pit with firewood and seating provided. Just outside of the walkout, finished lower level is a brick patio with a new hot tub for soaking in and relaxing. The home has landscape ground lighting all around the foundation so it is well lit at night while you’re enjoying the late night bonfires at the river. On the deck overlooking the Sturgeon River is a nice picnic table for relaxing, an outdoor dinning set, and a staircase that goes down to the lawn going to the river. In the front of the home is a smaller lawn and driveway as well as another vacant lot for exra parking space for your extra vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. Also in the front is another smaller deck with a gas grill just off of the indoor dining area.

My vacation cabin comes complete with two kayaks for my guests to use at no additional cost. Also, on the patio outside the finished, walkout lower level is nice new hot tub overlooking the large lawn and Sturgeon River. In addition, the finished lower level has a custom-built cedar suana! All three levels have full bathrooms, at least one bedroom with a queen-size mattress, and custom-made furnishings.

Awesome Cabin, Great Location, Very Helpful Owner!

Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our family really enjoyed staying at Doug's cabin! It was perfect. We really enjoyed all the fun things to do in the Indian River area. Some of us kayaked, some biked the trails (right close to the cabin), some played golf. The hot tub and sauna were super popular too; sat in both most every night. What was especially meaningful to us is how well-decorated the cabin is with very nice furnishings and all the space. Of course the bonfire pit near the river was relaxing for us, too. We all highly recommend this cabin. The owner was very good to work with as well. Plus we could bring our dogs at no additonal charge!

Definitely recommend!

Review Submitted: October 11, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. What a clean, beautiful home on a gorgeous, waterfront setting. This was a relatively last minute booking and Doug was more than accomodating. It was a work weekend for a couple of us, so decided to have our families join us and we had a wonderful time. Only wish we had more time to spend around the cabin and on the river. The kids enjoyed the bonfire as well as the adults and the sound of the river nearby was relaxing.

I would definitely recommend this home and will stay again when I can. Doug was a real pleasure to work with.

Amazing retreat!

Review Submitted: September 11, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
What an absolutely gorgeous cabin!!!! Very clean, EXTREMELY spacious, and a beautiful location!!! We only stayed 3 nights but it was wonderful! I fell in love with the HUGE kitchen the moment we walked through the door! Plenty of roomy bedrooms and bathrooms on each of the 3 floors. Great hot tub and sauna. A very large backyard with terrific views of the Sturgeon river. Nice and quiet location and just minutes from downtown Indian River, Burt Lake, and Mullet Lake.
I personally spent alot of time in the kitchen and it had everything I needed to prepare all of our meals. We had brought a few items from home ( some pans, measuring cups/spoons, etc.) but never needed to unpack them.
There is a nice patio w/ grill on the front side of the cabin and a large patio in the back. We enjoyed our coffee while sitting out on the deck which overlooks the backyard and river. This place is just unbelieveably GORGEOUS!!!
We are looking to stay here again for at least a week next summer...maybe even two if our schedules allow.

Excellent Quality For The Price. Owner Easy To Work With

Review Submitted: July 27, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We arrived July 9, 2011 for one week vacation and had a great time. There were 13 of us (6 adults and 7 kids). Everyone had plenty of room and each had a bed. The family room and kitchen were never crowded. But, weather was great so we spent most of the time outside. Kids played on the grassy back yard or by the river. Adults relaxed on the back deck, near the river, in the hot tub, or by the fire pit. Great Kayaking on the river. Home was clean and well maintained. Will definitely recommend to friends. Thanks for sharing your Home wih us Doug.
