Welcome to the Waterway Inn of

Indian River. We are located between Burt and Mullett Lakes, where you will

find some of the best fishing and power boating that Northern Michigan has to

offer.

Our spacious and clean rooms include free wi-fi, air-conditioning,

refrigerator, flat screen TV, direct dial phone, microwave, free coffee, and

all our double rooms have a gas fireplace for those cold winter nights. In

addition, we have four two-bedroom rustic style mobile homes that are air

conditioned and completely equipped with everything you need. Mobile homes have

a minimum night stay of (2) nights and are available from mid-May to

mid-October. These can only be reserved by calling Waterway Inn directly. We

currently do not accommodate pets.

Our shaded picnic area includes grills, picnic tables, kids

swings, bonfire pit, basketball court, and horseshoe pits. Ride your ORV or

snowmobile on some of Northern Michigan's best-groomed trails right from your

front door. 

The Waterway Inn is just 20 miles from beautiful Nub's

Nob and Boyne Highlands ski resorts and close to Odawa Casino in Petoskey and

Kewadin Casino in St. Ignace. We are 28 miles north of Gaylord, 30 miles south

of Mackinaw City, and 21 miles east of Petoskey, which boasts some of the most

unique shopping in Northern Michigan.
