BURT LAKE RETREAT - 200 Feet of Private Waterfront - 5 Bedrooms and 3.5 Baths

This exquisite home overlooks a wide expanse of Burt Lake and allows one to be agape at the entry. With access to an immense main-level wrap-around deck, gaze out over the children cavorting and playing in the yard, or plying their talents in a game of cornhole. Away from the action, sits a quiet firepit for a soft evening singalong. If it’s pickleball you crave, no problem. The front drive has a mapped-out court. Back inside this lakeside retreat, the cozy emanates from a warm media room beside the open, professional kitchen. Catch a ballgame or listen to music as you parlay your culinary skills. After dinner, stroll past the wet bar and grab a glass of wine or a snifter of a fine single malt and relax by the fireplace. A few steps away, and the master ensuite is at the ready. Included is a large walk-in tiled shower and a peaceful sitting area and office opening the imagination so that you may begin the day catching up on work. Downstairs, another large living expanse with a fireplace opens onto the backyard and out to your private beach and dock area. Don’t worry about the noise. There are four bedrooms and two full baths downstairs to accommodate the party, including a room full of bunkbeds so the youngest can share timeless memories in between giggles. For that long-extended stay, there is a laundry room and ample storage for anything and everything you may bring to enjoy this very special experience.

*Access to water toys and boats is not included in the rental of this property. If you would like information on watercraft rentals, please reach out to us for recommendations! * All-wheel or 4-wheel drive is recommended during the winter months to access the property.

Beautiful property. We were impressed with the high end appliances and amenities. We often rent on Lake Michigan in the summer, but many of us liked watching the boaters and skiers on the lake, and viewing the hills on the other side of the lake. We didn’t miss Lake Muchigan

Beautiful, spacious, and private lakefront home on the Northwest part of Burt Lake. Property manager was very communicative and did a great job assisting with any questions or needs. 25 minute drive to Mackinac, so we spent a day on Mackinac Island to break up the trip a little bit. The kitchen was great and kids had blast parties playing pickleball and running around the property. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks again for all of your assistance in making this an enjoyable stay, Danielle.

Family Vacation

The property met our needs during our family reunion. The home does some repairs and updating. some of these were communicated to the property manager. In addition we would suggest upgrading internet service as it is so slow that it is almost unusable. The rental company was very helpful throughout our stay and I would highly recommend booking direct with them for any future stay.

Enjoyable stay in a lovely setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a great size and slept 12 of us comfortably, with room to spare. We enjoyed beautiful views of the lake, a large, private yard and outdoor space with plenty of seating, a peaceful pier, and a calm lake that was great for swimming. The management company was responsive when we needed assistance or had questions. The house has some quirks (e.g., the freezer lives outside) and could use a few updates - specifically, the toilets and dishwashers - to minimize inconveniences, but overall, we had a nice stay.

Be very careful renting this property. When we stayed in June 2026 the dock was not installed and we had no access to boating or fishing. I had asked to reschedule and later dates were available however the host and management company were dishonest and lied to us. I would not recommend renting this property.
