Burt Lake is wonderful. The views from the house and deck are great. The large seating area at end of dock was especially fun. It is the most equipped house we've ever stayed in. So many extras were provided.

We had a great time at this very nice house. We had high expectations, which the house exceeded. The house and furnishings were excellent. Even fresh flowers in every room. The lawn, beach, dock and lake were also excellent. And we enjoyed walking in the nature preserve just across the street.

We have stayed in Burt Lake many times and this house is by far the nicest place we have rented. Host was very responsive and helpful, house was clean and comfortable and a great lakefront property. Would stay again.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2017
Burt Lake is a beautiful lake but next time we will be looking for another house. The owners clearly take pride in their decorating but the house smelled very musty and some of the windows did not open and close properly. We could not use the dresser drawers as they smelled of mildew and the shower curtain needed laundering to remove thigh high orange mold. They boasted a gourmet kitchen which was missing basic necessities like a basting brush for grilling. The living room furniture was pretty, but very uncomfortable...which might have been on purpose as we were greeted with house rules posted everywhere including don't eat anywhere but at the table and don't sleep on the sofas. In spite of being respectful renters, we felt followed by the proverbial wagging finger all week long. Oh yeah, forgot to mention the noise from construction on the next lot over and the run away toilet. On the positive, we enjoyed the hammock, kayaks and canoe, the beach area for fires, and the yard was large enough to set up our badminton set. The large size kitchen and table seating eight was perfect. The pie was also nice, but did not make up for the shortcomings we encountered.
