Photos and Description of the Indian River vacation cabin rental
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 10-12.

Gorgeous, custom-built cedar log home on the Sturgeon River completely surrounded by Northern Michigan’s best golfing, kayaking, trout and walleye fishing, canoeing, boating, mountain biking, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, and x-country and downhill skiing! This is a brand new home and is perfectly situated 50' off of the beautiful Sturgeon River and walking distance to Trail #7 of the infamous Rails-to-Trails mountain biking and snowmobiling trails. There’s nothing like this 4 bedroom (plus loft), 3 bathroom home in Indian River so close to everything, including:

1. 20 min. from all the Gaylord golf courses, Bay Harbor Golf Club, Boyne Highlands, Little Traverse Bay Golf, Black Lake Golf Club, and Crooked Tree Golf Club

2. 20 min. from Mackinaw City

3. 20 min. from Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and the Odawa Casino

4. 5 min. from the Inland Waterways for boating and jet skiing.

Plus, there's lots of parking space for your boat trailers, campers, motorcycles, and extra vehicles!

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.

Extra Features: 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!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 16, 2009 Stayed: 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!

Fantastic winter holiday

My family rented this cabin between Christmas and New Year's 2012. We had a formidable vacation here. The cabin is very spacious and well-maintained. Most of the people in our group went skiing to Nub's, Boyne Highlands and Boyne Mountain. The drive was not too bad. The view from the living room is wonderful. I guess it must be even prettier in the summer with the river in the back of the cabin. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. In addition, Doug is very organized; a pleasure to deal with.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much, Paola, for taking the time to write a very thoughtful review for our cabin. It means a lot to us to know that our home is enjoyed by our guests and that everything in the cabin is to your satisfaction. It also means a lot to us to hear that you enjoyed your time in N. MI! It is a true slice of heaven and the perfect place for an adventuresome getaway :)

Please keep our home in mind for your next trip to N. MI. You're always welcome to stay at our cabin!

I spent a weekend at this wonderful log home with some family.We had plenty of space to relax and enjoy this great Up North retreat.The hot tub and sauna were two highlights of the home.As was the kitchen, that had everything we needed to make meals.The beds were comfortable.There was a full bathroom on each level .Which made it easy for all of us to get ready in the mornings.I believe if I'm going to rent a home.I should be able to contact the owner or manager and have questions or problems taken care of.I've rented places in the past as to where I paid and never hear nothing back from the owner.I just get my deposit back in the mail. This is NOT the case with this home.The owner Doug along with his caretakers of the home were great. Doug had contacted me within a half hour of putting my request in to rent his home on a Sunday night.Doug was right on top of keeping in contact with me right up to the day that I was arriving.And told me I could call him anytime throughout my stay and he would do what he could to answer any questions I might have.His caretakers met me at the home and told me information on it.They lived a short distance away and they also told me to call them at anytime if I had a problem.This was one of the best experiences I had renting a home.I would definitely recommend this place and hopefully be able to enjoy this log home again.

Awesome Vacation Cabin in the Perfect Location!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 1, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our entire family enjoyed our stay at the Slidel's cabin in Indian River! The home was beautiful, clean, spacious and located in the perfect area, remote but within a short distance to every attraction and interest you can imagine. We went to Mass on Sunday at the beautiful Cross in the Wood's, within two miles of the cabin. Our family ranges in ages from 7 to 69. There were activities for all of us to enjoy even Jack, my son's lab, who swam everyday at beautiful Burt Lake at the Doggie Beach. We enjoyed a day at Macinac Island, Petoskey and don't miss the raspberry pancakes at Paula's Cafe in Indian River. Vivio's has great pizza too! We made most of our meals in a cook's dream kitchen at the cabin. Kayaking, rafting, swimming, biking and family time around the open campfire, are memories we will never forget. Doug, the owner, was absolutely fantastic to work with and answered all our questions and concerns promptly. I wanted to take the scenic route to Mackinac Island and Doug recommended the drive along Lake Michigan on route 119. He was right, the views were phenomenal!!! My youngest son found sand dunes and the most pristine beaches at Wilderness Park we have ever seen. I would definitely recommend this incredible vacation home to all my friends! Thanks again Doug!

Very nice vacation home

5 of 5
Submitted: February 10, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
We had a great time staying at the house. There was 10 of us and we had plenty of room. Very clean which is important to me. Kitchen was stocked with everything you needed including soaps, pots and pans etc. A lot of homes that we've rented you had to go out and buy dish soaps, paper towels, garbage bags etc. It was fully stocked with all of those things. We really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna which again was clean! Doug was so good to work with and when I e-mailed him with any questions, he was quick to respond. We planned on snowmobiling but, there wasn't enough snow. We rented cross country skiis in Indian River and went snow tubing at Gaylord's Tree Tops. We went wine tasting in Petosky which was great! You won't be sorry in any way if you rent this vacation home and Doug was great at giving advice on where to go and what to do. We are hoping to rent it again next winter! It would probably be great in the summer time too since it has a fire fit and large back yard right on the river. The interior was very well decorated. The living room is small which was the only downfall with a large group. We just set up the lawn chairs, which was provided, and it worked out great. There is a really nice deck on the back of the house and it was relaxing to listen to the river and watch the deer in the backyard. Again, great house you won't be sorry renting this one in any way!
Owner's Response: Wanita,

Thank you for writing such a wonderful review and for sharing your experiences at our cabin! Krista and I sure appreciate your honesty and kind remarks. Please keep our cabin in mind for future trips Up North with your family and friends. You're always welcome at our home away from home :)

God Bless!
