Great place, wonderful views and accommodations. Wish we could have accessed the river easier but once the downed trees are cleared up from the ice storm maybe that will change. Fire pit wasn’t set up because of the storm clean up also. Would stay again

Second year staying on the Sturgeon River. Great place to stay. Very nice accommodations. The host has thought of everything. The pool table is a huge plus. Very private upstairs accommodations. Minutes away from everything needed including the beautiful Burt Lake State park.

Glorious Getaway

Our family loved our stay at the cabin! It was wonderful to be tucked away in the woods with such a scenic look over the Sturgeon River. The cabin was super cozy and had every convenience one could possibly need. Our boys loved hanging out in the game room area downstairs and having their own space. They also setup a whole outdoors game course and held family olympics with the fun activities that are offered for guests. It was a quick drive to swim at Burt Lake and so close to many other great places to visit such as Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Cheboygan or The Bridge. Our hosts were easily accessible to answer any question that came up and the cabin was immaculately clean. We just can't say enough great things about the Sturgeon Riverfront Cedar Cabin and hope we get the opportunity to stay again in the future.

Very clean and cute cabin

Overall we had a nice stay. The property was very clean and situated close to many of the popular up north towns. Sits on a pretty part of the river and has everything you need for your stay. A few things not mentioned is that in the summer there are a lot of kayakers going by because there is a pick up and drop off at the edge of the property. It probably won’t bother most people, but I was looking for a quiet getaway. Sitting out by the river was not quiet as people kept going by and saying hi and commenting on how much they liked my house. Another thing that was not mentioned and upset my stay was there no use of the closet in the master bedroom. It was locked. I like to unpack when I arrive and hang up my clothes. The option that was given to me when I contacted the owner was to use the closet at the bottom of the stairs where the vacuums are stored. There was room in there, but who wants to go up and down the stairs every time they are getting dressed. It irritated me everyday. Having access to the closet would have gotten the 5th star.

Beautiful, clean, and peaceful property.

From planning our trip, to arrival, and through our stay, communication was great. The place was very clean! My husband and I went for our anniversary trip and we couldn’t have asked for more. Petoskey is 30min, mackinaw is 30min. Fished on Burt Lake (min down the road) and Mullet Lake (25min). We had everything we needed at the cabin and it was super comfortable! Definitely would recommend and stay again!

Perfect Home-base for Fun

This cabin offered comfort next to the beautiful Sturgeon River. The sound of the river flowing past the fire pit was so relaxing. If you want some adventure launch your kayak from the backyard. My family and I were able to have so many adventures while using this property as our home-base. -Petosky Beach -International Dark Park -Mackinaw City -Kayaking in the Sturgeon River, Burt Lake and Lake Michigan -Putt-putt in Petosky -Tahquamenon Falls -Whitefish Point -Glassbottom Shipwreck tour/snorkeling in Lake Huron (yes, it was cold) -Sleep Bear Dunes National Park The property owner, Rich, was extremely helpful. He answered all my questions promptly. I appreciated that he took time to give me suggestions on activities and restaurants in the area. We had an amazing time discovering Michigan. This property allowed us to relax and refresh between our adventures. I really hope I can return.

Upper MI vacation "Uncle Bucky's"

The home was very clean with an excellent view of the river. Very spacious allowing plenty of room to spread out. We built a fire in the fire pit most every night and enjoyed listening to the river pass by.. Very convenient location to the UP, Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island, which we visited all 3. We will definitely book again on our next visit to upper MI..

A Relaxing Getaway by the River

We LOVED staying at the cabin. It was very relaxing, everything you can think of was provided (a very neat and organized home) we definitely felt at home for the week. Everything was super clean upon our arrival. Anytime we thought of something we needed, it was there! My mother-in-law, son and my grandson came along with us and we enjoyed the beautiful river, sitting by the fire making s’mores, fishing, playing in the river, going on walks down the nearby trails, hanging out together watching a movie, sitting on the patio, playing a board game, or an evening match of pool. Honestly an amazing getaway, great memories were made. We would LOVE to come back soon. One day we drove 30 minutes to Petoskey Beach and collected Petoskey stones and beautiful colored rocks. Another day we drove about 35 minutes to the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac City for shopping, coffee, and fudge. Another day we drove less than 10 minutes away and had dinner at the Thirsty Sturgeon, all food was terrific! Then we went in town for awesome ice cream. We have not stopped talking about the week. I personally loved sitting inside or outside and just watching/listening to the beautiful river flow. Rich and Lori have been wonderful throughout. Regardless of questions we had, they have been so quick to respond and very helpful. You can rest assured if you stay here, you will be able to relax and enjoy your get-away.

WONDERFUL STAY

What a wonderful stay my wife and I had at the Indian River cabin. The cabin and property were everything that was described on the VRBO website. The cabin is exceptional and the property is fantastic. We enjoyed the quietness of the surroundings and the Sturgeon river flowing through the property. The cabin location allowed us to take sight seeing trips and then come back to relax in the evenings. We enjoyed our stay immensely Rich and Lori are exceptional hosts. They kept in touch with details for the upcoming stay and always with an immediate response to messages. Truly a great experience. We hope to be back in the near future THANK YOU again Rich and Lori for making your cabin available.

Great getaway!

This place was fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Northern Michigan. The house was immaculate and true to the photos. It had everything you could possibly need. The bed was also very comfortable. The check in and check out process was a breeze and the communication was great. Great Proximity to everything. We fished from the backyard and caught rainbow trout. We canoed down the Sturgeon river a couple of days. We checked out downtown Indian River, along with Burt Lake and Mullet Lake, both lakes were so nice. Each day it was great to head back to the cabin for a fire in the fire pit while listening to the river, we even tried night fishing. The neighborhood was quiet. All in all it was just a great place. Thanks to Rich and Lori for sharing your awesome cabin with us. We hope to come back.
