You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Northern Retreat in the Heart of Indian River!

This one-story, ranch home featuring easy access and an open concept will not disappoint. The cottage is located in the heart of Indian River with three bedrooms and one & one-half baths. Its a quick walk to Burt Lake, downtown restaurants, coffee houses, ice cream parlors, boutiques and even the local grocery store.

The full kitchen boasts a gas range, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave and most any appliance you could want. The AC is ice cold for summer months and the gas fireplace is perfect for those cold winter nights. Amenities are extensive with a washer / dryer, high speed internet, 60 channels of Spectrum, as well as a firepit. You'll enjoy how spacious the home feels, as it sleeps up to six people comfortably and is stocked with towels, linens, cooking utensils, laundry detergent, firewood, etc.... Vacationers can also use the private boardwalk in the backyard that leads to Burt Lake waterfront and the driveway to the home is paved with available space for parking roughly three to four vehicles.

Please review house rules prior to booking in order to assure that the cottage is conducive to your needs. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding house policies, as I'm always available and eager to help with your vacation needs.

Second stay here at the Northern Retreat! We had an incredible time relaxing. Took advantage of the location as it seemed like it 20 to 30 minutes from all the great Northern towns. Super friendly people at the local restaurants and stores. Met some great people! Looking forward to staying again!

Was a beautiful place to stay and the host was amazingly responsive to any calls that we made any questions that we had. It is a place that I will go to again. If you want a beautiful cozy little place with beautiful flowers this is a place to stay And you can’t ask for better host than the people that we had.

This host goes over & beyond to make your stay perfect!! We arrived and were ecstatic to see the home was even more spacious than we thought (including the backyard/patio) on top of the cute & quant vibes. Not to mention cleanliness! If you want a spot to stay that checks all the boxes, this is it! We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Thank you Melissa for the welcome sign when we arrived & all the extra details you thought of like a fun popcorn night, extra toothbrushes, xtra paper towel, beach chairs etc etc! I could go on & on! It’s the little things that make stays like this just so much fun. By far one of the best rentals we’ve stayed at yet!!
