Great place from the location, amenities, house etc. We have done the inland waterway for the last 20 years. This was probably our favorite place to stay during that time. Would book it again next year.

Great location on the lake.

We truly enjoyed our stay on the lake. The place was completely stocked with supplies for the week and there was plenty of sleeping areas for everyone. Close by stores and restaurants and given a list of other restaurants in the nearby area. The swimming off the dock was great for my grandkids as the water was only a few feet deep.

Amazing VRBO for relaxing weekend!

Truly had an amazing time at this house, everything was as described in the listing. The view was even better than the pictures! Could spend everyday down on the dock relaxing. Our group didn’t have any kids, but found the space to be exceptionally kid friendly as well. Mostly laid down on the dock with friends and read books and enjoyed the sunshine. Burt lake itself is so beautiful. Hoping to come back again! Really loved it here and would recommend to anyone. Joe was super flexible and wonderful to work with!!

We have stayed at many VRBO’s and this was by far the best equipped especially the kitchen! Two decks and a dock were awesome for a family.Joe was very responsive and was always available!The view from both decks was stunning! We did not want to leave! So close to stores and restaurants too!! Thanks for the memories- we will be back!

Beautiful views of Burt Lake throughout the house

This house has incredible views of Burt Lake from the two main bedrooms and the living room, plus multiple levels of decks. The dock is great as well with chairs and shallow water. There is a small beach area with a bit of sand for kids to play. The house was well stocked and clean. The double full size bunk beds are great for kids! Very close to Vivio’s and the state park for a full beach and small playground. Easy to get to Indian River as well.

Relaxing and fun!

We arrived at a well kept and clean home that was just like the listing described. We had plenty of space for five of us and it would have been comfortable for up to 14 I would say. There was comfortable sitting in the living room, the kitchen had enough space for three of us to cook, and there was enough outdoor deck space to thoroughly enjoy it and not feel cramped. It was especially great to walk from the deck down to the dock and go for a swim. I had my two kayaks and after maneuvering them down one flight of stairs to the dock, the lake was very accessible and we just beached the kayaks at night. It ended up being very central to many things. We went to Petoskey, we played disc golf nearby, we went for a hike, we went to Mackinac Island, and just enjoyed the whole general area.

Beautiful lake but trouble with mice

This house on Burt Lake is a lovely location with great swimming and beautiful views. The house was comfortable with everything that we needed. We did have a couple issues with the rental. We saw a mouse in the house on the fourth day of the trip and contacted the home owner about having it removed. The home owner was not able to get someone to come out until our last day of the stay. We ended up leaving a day early as we continued to see the mouse running through the main living area daily. While this is an "up north " home, it was clear that the mouse could enter at will through the front door crack when closed as well as though the holes in the screen on the deck door. We did not leave the deck or kitchen windows open with screens because there were large holes in both. We also had some issue with arrival times. When asked to switch our rental date from a Saturday arrival to a Friday arrival, we complied. Arrival was set for Friday at 4:00pm. We had nearly completed our travel to the house when the homeowner called to tell us that we would not have entrance until 6:30pm due to cleaning still taking place. This was pretty inconvenient as we had basically arrived already and just had to kill some time until we could get in the house. Overall, a great location but I am disappointed in our experience for the price.

A week with the family on Burt Lake

Our stay at Burt Lake was very relaxing and tranquil. The house was just as described; each room was clean and well suited for our needs. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans and supplies. The bedrooms where comfortable and extra linens where provided. The house does have air conditioning ; however, the bunk room was rather warm. A few small fans where provided. The house does have several decks and seating areas outside. They are spacious and comfortable. The steps down to the dock, on the lake, are steep. My elderly parents struggled with the steps as well the lack of hand rails. Our only complaint was the lack of parking. There are 2 parking spots near the house. If you have additional cars, you need to park upon entering the property, at the top of a hill. Our week at the cottage was wonderfully relaxing. The Glanzman's cottage was a beautiful spot to unwind and spend time with those you love. My family and I look forward to another trip to Indian River, in the future.

The Perfect Family Getaway!

We traveled all the way from CT for this family retreat and it was absolutely worth the trip! The home was better than expected, very clean, neat and updated furnishings. The outside property is so inviting, the upper deck for reading/eating or just chilling. The dock & water was enjoyed all week with swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and watching sunsets. Owners are incredibly easy to work with and communication was very clear with the check in/check out process. It only allows for 5 stars but our family would give it 10! Thanks for the relaxing family vacation!

Great house! Great location!

We had a wonderful stay at this property on the lake. The house was clean and comfortable and the outside deck and dock were perfect. The house was very well equipped, too. Pretty much anything we needed was already there. In fact, we typically bring some kitchenware ourselves when renting but didn't have to here at all. I would stay again with zero argument. :)

Fantastic lakefront rental for summer vacation!

WOW! Awesome lake house with spectacular views of Burt Lake. The house had everything we everything we needed and more. Our family of 10 had a great time. The hard sandy bottom and clean water of Burt Lake was wonderful. We had seven nights of lovely sunsets. House was clean, comfortable and basically spoiled us for the week! Owners thought of everything one would need. Loved all the hooks to hangs things (yes it’s the little things that count). Large decks and docks were great for lounging and dining. Awesome location - close to Indian River town and waterway. Highly recommend and definitely plan to return.
