About this property

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

The Apple Blossom Cabin

This unique 3 bedroom, 3 bath, multi-story home sits quaintly on the Indian River. Whether you're looking for a memorable family getaway or a restful retreat, this river cottage offers the balance of both worlds. This cottage features a generous 70 feet of river frontage, complete with a new seawall and dockage for almost any size boat. A relaxing deck area at the riverside will lend itself to a quite book, a lively cocktail hour, or perhaps a riverside get-together with friends and family.

COMFORT ACCOMMODATIONS: Driving to a destination, investing in a week or long weekend away, the last thing you want to be is hot and sticky! Well, we are happy to share that we've had central A/C installed in the cottage. Enjoy the summer sun but keep it comfy and cool inside!

CONNECTION: We understand that even when your away, sometimes staying connected is important to you. To meet this need, we have super fast WIFI and charter cable. The password is available on site.

SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS: The expansive floorplan offers comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to 10 people in beds. We want your stay to be amazing so we've dressed the bedrooms up to look and feel fresh. Focusing on details like soft sheets, cozy blankets, lots of pillows and space, we hope your make yourself right at home.
1) The master bedroom, The Indian River Room, presents a serene sense of relaxation and retreat. With it's new king size mattress, rich furnishings and full ensuite bathroom, you'll truly enjoy the privacy and spa-like feel as you take in the exclusive river view from your private deck.
2) The Guest bedroom 1, The Mullet Lake Room, features a king bed and furnishings with lovely décor that will make you want to stay just a little longer.
3) The Guest bedroom 2, The Burt Lake Room, is a bright and airy room filled with tons of natural light and offers a brand new queen bed and furnishings.
4) The Sleeping nook, located on the river level of the cottage, features a comfy bunk-bed set up. A twin on the top bunk and a double on the bottom. Great for kids! There is also a bonus pullout trundle beneath the double in case you need to tuck in on more little one. The trundle is only meant for kiddos so please don't overload it.
5) There's always room for couch floppers or blow up mattresses, so don't hesitate to bring them along.

THE KITCHEN: One of the crowing jewels at The Apple Blossom Cottage is the main kitchen. This recently remodeled kitchen boasts lovely hickory cabinetry as well as all updated stainless steel appliances. Completely stocked with pots, pans, flatware, dinnerware and numerous glasses and mugs, you really don't have to bring a thing. A Keurig K-cup style coffee machine, a regular coffee maker, toaster, blender, hand mixer, and panini maker are all at your full disposal. All you'll need to do is stock the fridge for your stay! This area also features a huge dining area to fit your whole family around as well as a breakfast bar and expansive island for entertaining, food prepping and more. A beautiful Weber propane grill is situated on the deck for all your grilling needs as well as a 6 person outdoor dining table with umbrella to enjoy dining outdoors.

THE LIVINGROOM: We can't decide if it's the all natural hickory flooring, the cathedral ceilings, or that one-of-a-kind view of the riverside outdoors, you will feel like you are right at home. A cozy sectional sofa and a 50" LED TV make for a great place to cuddle up at the end of a memory-making day on the Indian River, Burt Lake or Mullet Lake.

THE FAMILY ROOM: Located on the river level of the home, this room has so many uses, we will let you decide which is your favorite. This area has tons of room for a game night in, a family movie, or a snuggle spot near the gas-logs fireplace. The family room faces a wall of windows with the best in the house. There is an adjacent entertaining kitchen, we call it the party kitchen, to help you put on a patio party or just a secondary fridge and snack station for the days spent on the riverside. There is also a newly remodeled full bathroom located off of the family room as well as the full washer/dryer laundry room.

OUTDOORS AT THE APPLE BLOSSOM COTTAGE: Being on the river gives you so many options for fun, entertaining and making memories. The cottage is laid out to enhance whatever your goal is for being on the river. On the main floor level of the cottage is a huge deck stretching the entire width of the cottage. Featuring a brand new 6-person dining set and a brand new Weber gas grill, there is tons of room to sip coffee quietly in the morning to a full house dinner party outdoors. On the river-level of the cottage is a concrete patio, well-established lawn and an artesian well free flowing with the natural spring waters of the straits. The soft trickle of the fountain adds a certain charm to your outdoor time here, something that all of our guest will never forget.

DOCK AND RIVERSIDE: Just a few years ago, a brand new 70+ foot seawall was installed to improve river access for our guest that enjoy boating, kayak, canoeing and more. You have access to numerous boat-let in's for the river including 2 marinas and a city dock nearby. There are several sets of tie-down cletes to accommodate all sizes of watercraft. A gorgeous dock and sitting area was also installed at this time. Made of composite decking so you'll always have a sliver-free and beautiful dock to enjoy. We've also recently added a pub-height table and chairs set with an umbrella to enhance your river experience and give you as much shade or sun dockside as you want.

And as the sun goes down on the river, you can cozy up around the fire. We've provided a fire ring to set off the full experience. Just bring your own firewood and s'mores supplies and you've got the full experience.

Thanks for checking us out, and we hope to see you soon at The Apple Blossom Cottage!

Sincerely,
Jason and Christie

Great location for boating the chain of lakes. Our family, adult children and grandkids were very comfortable with the accommodations. The house is nicely furnished and the yard and grounds are lovely. The owner was quick to respond to questions. We really enjoyed our time there only wish we would have taken a day or two to just enjoy the house, yard and neighborhood.

Treat yourself to a wonderful stay

Had a wonderful time at the apple blossom cottage. it was just perfect for my family and I. lots of room , laid out well, the best stocked kitchen I've ever rented from. beautifully decorated. Nice, nice sea wall to pull up 2 at the end of a wonderful day on a lot of water. The only reason I would reluctantly give it a 4 star instead of 5 is because the Mold smell in the garage would sometimes come through into the house. But not a real huge problem. I would recommend to anyone. Your sure to make wonderful memories.

The best rental we have ever had

We planned a trip to Indian River with 4 other couples and enjoyed every single second. We have a 21 ft Malibu surf boat and our other friends brought a pontoon and we had room to leave both boats in the water. The location is perfect super close to Burt Lake. The neighbors were fantastic and house was SOOOOO clean. Big kitchen and beautiful rooms. I totally recommend this house and we will be booking again!!!

Boater’s Paradise

We loved staying right on Indian River and having access to Burt & Mullet Lake as well as neighboring rivers like Crooked and Cheboygan! Pure Michigan at its best! After a fun-filled day boating, we came “home” to a beautiful, comfortable place to relax and watch other boaters as they drifted past! The cute town of Indian River was easy to walk to and we enjoyed the shops & restaurants close by. But no need to buy supplies as this cottage came well stocked! We look forward to another stay at Apple Blossom cottage soon!
