Alanson House | Charming Lakefront Cottage in one of the best locations on Burt Lake

6 Bedroom House in Alanson

This charming lakefront cottage on the east side of Burt Lake is available for weekly rentals in the summer (Sunday to Sunday) and shorter rentals in the spring and fall. The vintage cottage has a great open floorplan with two bedrooms downstairs and four bedrooms upstairs.
The featured attraction is the stunning lakeside porch which is perfect for watching the sunrise and relaxing in the shade. The screens on the porch were just replaced in July 2024.
The master bedroom downstairs has a queen bed and full en suite bathroom. The downstairs guestroom has a full size bunk bed perfect for two or more children to share. There is another half bath for the second bedroom and downstairs guests to use.
Upstairs there is another master suite with a king bed, a/c unit and en suite bathroom
There is another king bed in one of the upstairs guest rooms that shares a bathroom, "Jack and Jill" style, with another guest room that has a full size bed and an a/c window unit.
The fourth bedroom upstairs has plenty of room for 3 children to share with two twin beds, a full size bed and an a/c window unit.
The Great Room downstairs is perfect for hanging out as a group after a fun day on the lake with free wifi and board games.
The dinning room is large enough to sit 6 people comfortably for breakfast or dinner and there is another table out on the porch to sit another 6 guests.
We have a buoy that a boat or jet ski can be tied to, but there is no shore station or hoist on the dock available to guests. Boats and jet skis can unload at the dock, but they cannot be tied to the dock overnight.
Sorry, but we have a firm no pets policy, due to prior issues.
We have two Ring cameras set up outside the cottage in the front and back entrances for the safety and security of our home and guests.
The house is available for weekly rentals only. CHECK IN AND CHECK OUT ARE ON SUNDAYS ONLY.
Rentals for 2 weeks or longer save 10%.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. The porch overlooking the lake was the perfect place to gather. Especially during short bursts of rainfall. The lake is perfect for younger swimmers.Beds were comfy. Towels plentiful. Lots of dishes, silverware, pots and pans. The downfall was my expectation of air conditioning throughout the house. It was a hot week. In the listing, it said air conditioning.I thought the three window units were bonus units for areas that didn’t cool down well, but it looked to me like the whole house had air conditioning. Had I had any doubt, I would have inquired before booking.
