If you’re looking for fun while enjoying the comforts of home, you’ll find it here!
Welcome to Stone’s Throw Cottage, your Up North getaway with a name that’s no joke! This spruced-up, super-cute and quirky cottage is tucked among grand old trees on a half-acre of partially fenced-in yard and is literally a pebble toss from all of Indian River’s top hotspots, shops, and eateries. With three spacious bedrooms, it comfortably hosts six adults, and there’s a freshly revamped sleeping cottage for four more adventure-seekers. After a day of lake splashing, river roaming, trail trekking, golfing, shopping, or Mackinac Island exploring, stretch out in our spacious dining and living rooms, enjoy the patio complete with grill or settle in around the firepit with a bag of marshmallows.
While we can’t promise a private beach, we’re a hop, skip, and a jump (less than a mile) from multiple public boat launches. Got a fleet of boats and toys? Our extra-large lot can handle it! Plus, the river park is just across the street, and the public beach is a breezy 10-minute stroll away.
Northern Michigan’s natural charm will sweep you off your feet! Burt Lake dazzles with 17,120 acres of crystal waters, towering trees, and friendly wildlife. And, if you’re lucky, you might stumble upon the legendary Petosky Stone along the rocky shores. Prefer sandy adventures? Sandbars extend from the shore a football field’s length before diving to a depth of 73 feet.
With 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths, Stone’s Throw Cottage comfortably hosts 6 adults.Have a few more Up North adventure seekers in your party? The bright and cheery sleeping shack is just 7 steps away, sleeps another 4 people and offers another hangout area complete with Smart TV and poker table.
The fun doesn’t stop in Indian River; nearby gems like Petosky, Harbor Springs, Bay Harbor, Boyne Highlands, and Mackinaw City are just a 30-minute drive away. Need ideas for your stay? We’re seasoned Indian River explorers and can fill your itinerary with Up North magic!

We came for the boat races and this house was just perfect! The house is absolutely adorable and plenty of space so our group was not on top of each other. It was right across the street from a city river access park so whether you’re just looking for a quiet morning cup of coffee on the water or the perfect seat for some boat races this house has it all! You can easily walk up town to several bar/restaurants/ice cream shops and it’s really not far from anything you need/want. We had a great stay and the hosts were very helpful with any of our questions!

Stone’s Throw Cottage is a wonderful house in a beautiful location. Loved being so close to Devoe Beach, shops, and the green docks. Our kids were absolutely thrilled to stay in the bunk house; such a great space for them! Thanks again for a great week. We will definitely be back to Burt Lake and would rent here again.

Our stay at Stone’s Throw was amazing. The house, and additional cabin, fit our group perfectly. It was in a great location to food and the boat launch. And the “To Do” list was a great touch!!

Great location, perfect spot to enjoy river, town, ice cream and beach. As a kid Indian river was my favorite place to visit family. So I took my family back to relive those memories. House was the perfect size for four generations, fitting comfortably.

We had the loveliest time at Stone’s Throw Cottage! The house was in a great location, walkable to the small town (restaurants, ice cream shops, cafe) in Indian River, and right across the street from the river itself! The house was so comfortable and surprisingly spacious – large bathrooms and an extremely well-stocked kitchen. In addition, the backyard was perfect for a family with kids room for them to run around while we enjoyed the patio and grill. Host was very responsive throughout, and the home was well cleaned. There was so much to do in Indian River, enjoying the river and nearby lakes, Mackinac Island and the Upper Peninsula only a bit north! Highly recommend! We loved our week here!!

This cottage has it all. Plenty of space, all the amenities you need and a FANTASTIC location! Plenty to do in Indian River, or just relax, play games and have a fire. Close to Mackinac Island and Petoskey is a great place to visit.
Time permitting you can rent a boat or just walk along the channels and Lake Burt. Can’t wait to come back.
Thanks Marc and Michele!!

Perfect stay, ultra responsive host made it easy to relax and enjoy. Quick drive to Nubs Nob.
The cottage and detached room is very nice and homey, we were very comfortable in the home. It provided everything we needed for our stay. It’s a quaint place, a little old cottage feel and new. They had a fire pit we used and lots of games to play in our downtime.
The cottage is very close to many things, we were a 1/2 block away from a little park on the river. We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping and ice cream shops.
We also golfed and rented a pontoon boat to spend a day on the lakes and river, both of these places were close to the cottage.
We spent an afternoon on DeVoe beach which is very nice, the water was clear and calm. Great for little kids to swim in.
We also went to Cheboygan, Ocqueoc falls and Mackinaw Island which were within 30 minutes from the cottage.
I would stay here again and recommend it for a nice place to stay.
Have been going to Indian River my whole life. Was nice to find a spot for 4 of us as a place to stay for a golf/boating weekend.
