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!

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.

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.
