Log Cabin home on the Sturgeon River in Indian River

Relax by the Sturgeon River or enjoy the fresh air on the back porch of our fully furnished log home, watching the ducks play and float past. Our lodge is tucked away on a quiet road that follows the Sturgeon River and yet is also right in town. Walk or bike ½ mile into downtown Indian River to shop with Devoe Beach on Burt Lake, the Indian River, and bike / snowmobile trails less than a mile away. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or tubing down the Sturgeon River and Indian River. Fish for trout or walleye right in from the edge of the backyard. At the end of the day, enjoy sitting by the firepit.

Our Lodge:
After your adventures, wind down with a cool house during summer turning on central air when necessary or stay toasty with the gas fireplace during the winter.

Your group will sleep comfortably in 3 bedrooms with 2 containing queen beds and one containing both a queen and twin bed. Getting ready in the morning is easy with 2 bathrooms. In the evening, play games at the dinner table, watch a movie on 47” flat screen TV, or curl up in the loft to read a book or surf the web (free high speed WiFi). For mealtime, dine out, enjoy dinner in the backyard watching the wildlife and river, or dine inside using the fully equipped kitchen.

Our lodge sits back from the road with plenty of driveway for whatever toys you may bring with you.

The public launch on Indian River is about 1 mile away. Kayak, canoe, or tube on Sturgeon River. Rentals are located in town or bring your own. Enjoy Indian River’s Summerfest the 3rd week in July, or the Top O’ Michigan boat races in August. Venture a little further to swim in spectacular waterfalls about 30 miles east at Ocqueoc Falls.

Wonderful house, great stay

Lazy Sturgeon is a beautiful, new 3 bedroom house with tons of space and great amenities. We sat on the back porch watching birds for hours, made dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, did puzzles and watched movies in the comfy living area. Beds were great, showers were hot. Getting in was easy, as was check-out. We will be back!

Fabulous Cabin on the Sturgeon River

We stayed at this lovely cabin for a little over a week. The check-in and check-out process was easy. Clear and detailed info was provided before arrival. They gave a lovely card and welcome gift. The place was clean and spacious. We definitely enjoyed the view of the water while sitting on the nice patio out back. We had little kiddos and it was nice that they had some games for the days we weren’t at the beach. This place feels secluded but is very conveniently located to shops, restaurants, and the beach. I would highly recommend this place to others!

Perfect accommodations and awesome location!

We spent a week in this beautiful log cabin for a family vacation. The accommodations were clean, organized, and well cared for. It was a great location to tube down the Sturgeon river and hop out right in "our" backyard. The backyard set up was great for dinner or relaxing by the firepit. Super close to Burt Lake beaches and the ORV trailhead. Its a great place to make memories! Thank you!
