River Pines features 3 bedrooms, including a master suite with a stunning river view, and 2 full bathrooms. Additionally, there’s a convenient pullout couch for extra guests.
The family room features two full-size couches, a high-top game table for puzzles and games, and two swivel chairs. There's nothing more relaxing than sitting in the swivel chairs in the morning, sipping on coffee with a cozy blanket, and watching the river critters. Furnished with a dedicated workspace and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with brand new appliances, a slow cooker, large stew pot, and all your cooking needs. Our coffee bar features a drip coffee maker, Keurig, tea kettle, and a startup assortment of coffee, teas and hot chocolate.

Located on the North Central State Trail, our home is ideal for snowmobiling, walking, running, and biking. We're within walking distance to Devoe Beach, perfect for watching sunsets, fishing, and swimming. Less than a mile away, Big Bear Adventures offers year-round fun with rafting, tubing, kayaking, guided SideXSide tours, and unique winter raft trips. Several nearby areas that provide hiking, cross country skiing and snow shoe trails.
Nearby attractions include:
• Indian River Golf Club (1 mile)
• Cross In The Woods National Shrine (1 mile)
• Mackinac Island, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Gaylord (30 minutes)
• Northern Michigan’s top alpine resorts: Nubs Nob, Boyne Highlands, Boyne Mountain, and Treetops (30 minutes)
Our spacious driveway easily accommodates boat and ATV trailers. Across the street, you’ll find a public boat and kayak ramp providing access to the Indian River Inland Waterway, connecting to Burt Lake, Mullett Lake, and even Lake Huron.
Our home comfortably accommodates 9 people, but please note it's not suitable for young children who can’t swim due to the proximity to the river. This is a riverfront house in Northern Michigan, so you may see insects from time to time. Only small Jon boats or kayaks can use the river at our dock due to an underpass that limits the size of boats and the depth of the river.
Come and experience the best of Northern Michigan with us at River Pines!

Summary: This is such a beautiful and comfy home! Perfectly decorated and had all of the amenities we needed… including super close access to the Indian River boat launch if you’re looking to enjoy the nearby rivers/lakes by boat. Sarah was extremely responsive. Highly recommend this home and we hope to come back someday!
