Great for large groups
This spot is perfect for very large groups of 20-30 people or so. We appreciated the ample dining space and room for people to spread out and do their own activities. The large kitchen with two ranges and refrigerators (though one was not working at first) made cooking for 32 people relatively quick and painless.We were unable to get hot water running in any of the showers, which was quite unfortunate and many of us in the group were not able to shower. Sounds like maybe this is just an issue in the winter. Additionally, there was a cleanliness issue upon first arrival, which caused us to have to clean and sanitize the kitchen for an hour, which was less than ideal after a long drive to get up north. Overall was a great property and we would consider returning, particularly during warmer weather.

Great place for a graduation
The lodge was overall amazing so much to do and everyone was able to relax and enjoy our time together as a family under one roof. We did share the residence with a mouse which is to be expected this time of year but he kept his distance and we kept ours :-) my favorite was the jukebox that played the classics. Plan on making this our go to for graduation celebrations over the next few years

Family Vacation
A great place to stay in the Indian River/Burt Lake area. Conveniently located about 25 miles from Petoskey and 30 miles from Mackinaw City. And the grandkids love the beach at the Burt Lake State Park. The Lodge is very comfortable and able to accommodate large groups. A++++++ stay.

Great House for a Family Reunion
We found the house to be accommodating, clean and great for all ages. There were plenty of bathrooms, the bedrooms were a good size, and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated having three refrigerators and two ovens for our large group. The pool table and juke box were fun additions, and the WiFi worked great, even with many people using it at the same time. I did not realize when I booked the house that bed linens, blankets and towels were not provided (as well as shampoo and body wash), so we had to scramble at the last minute to get what we needed. It would have been helpful to have that explicitly stated in the listing. But the house itself was great.

Perfect Place
We were able to stay for a week for a family reunion. It was perfect! Good driving distance to all the things we wanted to do (Sleeping Bear Dunes, tahqualmenon Falls, Mackinac Island, Burt Lake and more…). We had a little issue but the host was on top of it and got it taken care of so quickly. I was overly impressed. Everything was great.
