Log Cabin home on the Sturgeon River in Indian River

Relax by the Sturgeon River or enjoy the fresh air on the back porch of our fully furnished log home, watching the ducks play and float past. Our lodge is tucked away on a quiet road that follows the Sturgeon River and yet is also right in town. Walk or bike ½ mile into downtown Indian River to shop with Devoe Beach on Burt Lake, the Indian River, and bike / snowmobile trails less than a mile away. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or tubing down the Sturgeon River and Indian River. Fish for trout or walleye right in from the edge of the backyard. At the end of the day, enjoy sitting by the firepit.

Our Lodge:
After your adventures, wind down with a cool house during summer turning on central air when necessary or stay toasty with the gas fireplace during the winter.

Your group will sleep comfortably in 3 bedrooms with 2 containing queen beds and one containing both a queen and twin bed. Getting ready in the morning is easy with 2 bathrooms. In the evening, play games at the dinner table, watch a movie on 47” flat screen TV, or curl up in the loft to read a book or surf the web (free high speed WiFi). For mealtime, dine out, enjoy dinner in the backyard watching the wildlife and river, or dine inside using the fully equipped kitchen.

Our lodge sits back from the road with plenty of driveway for whatever toys you may bring with you.

Indian River area:
Our lodge is located directly on the Sturgeon River. Quaint downtown Indian River and grocery store are located less than ½ mile. Both Devoe Beach on Burt Lake and the bike / snowmobile path are less than 1 mile.

Perfect location for both outdoor and indoor activities year round. Boat down the Indian River to either Burt Lake or through natural wildlife habitat to Mullet Lake. The public launch on Indian River is about 1 mile away. Kayak, canoe, or tube on Sturgeon River. Rentals are located in town or bring your own. Enjoy Indian River’s Summerfest the 3rd week in July, or the Top O’ Michigan boat races in August. Venture a little further to swim in spectacular waterfalls about 30 miles east at Ocqueoc Falls.

Winter sports include snowmobiling, snow shoeing, or cross country and downhill skiing. Snowmobile trail is less than a mile away. Skiing areas are about 20 minutes away.

Springtime includes enjoying the area or fishing. In Autumn, take a drive through the Tunnel of Trees about 25 minutes away to see the colors.

View or drive over the Mackinac Bridge about 30 miles, visit a haunted lighthouse about 60 miles, or spend a magical day on Mackinac Island with a ferry from Mackinaw City about 30 miles.

Shopping options abound right here in downtown Indian River, or nearby historic Gaslight Village in Petoskey, or Harbor Springs. Indian River provides wonderful dining options nearby or venture a little further (about 30 min) for a wider variety of selections Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw City, and Cheboygan.
