FAMILY FRIENDLY COTTAGE SLEEPS 12 !!! BEAUTIFULLY UPDATED
The Crooked Lake Cottage (CLC) is a newly updated 2800 square foot cottage that has everything anyone could want in a vacation home: Wake in the morning to a stunning sunrise from your Master Suite- take a morning Kayak to enjoy the calm and peacefulness of the Lake. Everything you could want to do on vacation is at your fingertips. Bring your boat and have it waiting at your private dock (or Rent a boat from the marina 1 half mile away). Cool off with a swim or grab a raft and float in the pristine waters of Crooked Lake. If you feel like exploring you can cruise the Historical Inland Waterways chain of lakes popping off at a sand bar to cool off or stop in for lunch at one of the restaurants along the route. If you are feeling adventurous use the CLC as a launch pad to all things Northern Michigan has to offer. Be on the Beaches of Lake Michigan in less than 10 minutes. Shop, dine and savor all things Petoskey has to offer. Golf at one of the many golf courses in area including Boyne Highlands and Bay Harbor. Mackinaw city and Island are just 25 miles down the road so be sure to put that in the books! When returning from a long day of fun come back home to your completely updated cottage! Plenty of space to relax- hang out around the fire pit, grill out or make a gourmet meal in your well appointed Kitchen with granite counter tops and all new stainless steel appliances . With spacious bedrooms and large flat screen TV's in each room the CLC truly has something special for everyone!

Loved this home- plenty of room and beds for all 10 adults. Close to Nubs and Boyne highlands. Great surprise was the garage with pool table not in the description and was also great to hang store and dry snowboarding equipment. Will rent again l.

Family Ski weekend
Highly recommend! Wr had a group of 12 and everyone slept comfortably. Excellent location even being on a busy road. We had a variety of ages. The game room in heated garage was a big hit with pool table and darts. We were able to close the door to the main house to avoid the teenage noise! We skied Nubs knob which was a short drive. We went bowling at Northern Lights and walked around downtown Petoskey. Centrally located to most activities and also spent most of our time hanging at the house. It was spacious and very comfortable! The owner was very nice and quick to respond to our questions. We will definitely be back.

Room for all!
Nice, clean home on inlet lake that channels to other waterways and lakes. The grandkids enjoyed the sandy beach front. It is on a busy but convenient road. Our family of 6 adults and 2 children had plenty of lounging area, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The kitchen was great with 2 convection ovens, large island, and walk in pantry. Close to Mackinaw, Boyen Mountain and Petoskey. The only thing I would warn about is no air conditioner. We stayed in cooler fall weather so that was not an issue for us.

95th Birthday on the lake
Our family stayed in this home while coming to celebrate our Mom's 95th birthday. She loves to be by the lake so this was the perfect spot! I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a lakeside cabin with all the conveniences of a modern home. The location on the lake and the views are breathtaking. We met everyday with a beautiful sunrise on the lake and ended each day by the firepit and lake moonglow! The house has plenty of room to spread out and enjoy company or have some quiet time on your own. The deck is lovely and there is a dock with kayaks to enjoy the lake. We also brought our paddleboards and the lake was calm and perfect for early morning and late afternoon floats. The beds are all comfortable from king to twins. The kitchen is very well equipped with cooking and serving plates. Owner was quick to respond to texts and pleasant to work with. We are looking forward to returning.

nice inland lake
Very nice home, we had 6 adults and lots of space. Very close to Petoskey State park, where we enjoyed the beach. The only drawback was the busy road. Lots of traffic so just had to be cautious in and out. We took a few excursions to other places in northern Michigan, the location was a good hub.

Petoskey was a great location in northwest Michigan
Our family enjoyed our stay in Petoskey. We were able to take day trips to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island. Our family enjoyed all the local beaches where our adult children and grandchildren loved looking for Petoskey rocks.
Our accommodations met our family’s needs. There was plenty of room to spread out in the house and the lake was beautiful for sunrises and the night sky was great for star gazing.
Our only issue with cleanliness was seeing a mouse in the laundry room attached to the garage and a couple of mouse droppings in the pantry. We didn’t notify owner since this was the evening before our departure.

Nice spot, no hot tub
This is a nice spot on Crooked Lake, one of the best lakes anywhere. But, the listing says they have a hot tub and they don’t. The owner was very friendly and communicative until I asked her where the hot tub was. We just figured it was an oversight on her part, but we would have loved an apres ski soak! That was part of what we booked it for. Take that off the listing and it’s 10 out of 10!

Perfect for family vacation
This is our 2nd time using this great lake home for our family vacation. The house fits our large family and dogs perfectly. The only reason, I did not leave a 5 star rating was we did run into an issue with the master bedroom shower leaking on the lower bedroom, that resulted in us not being able to use the shower in the master. The owner was responsive and did send the handyman to look at it, but this is something that should have been revealed to us prior to our stay. Overall a great house in a great location.

Beautiful view of Crooked Lake
Cozy and spacious home giving 6 adults lots of room to hang together or separately if needed. 4 nice bedrooms with the master bedroom exceeding our expectations. 2 kayaks & a pool table for rainy days. The kitchen has everything for the cook and family, including a large island with many chairs to sit and relax by and a double oven and gas stove with lots of cooking utensils, pots & pans.
The lake is warm and has petoskey stones in the rockier areas along the sandy point. The hiking trails begin a couple blocks away and are wide and free from limbs & debris. Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charkevoix, Boyne and even the tunnel of trees are close by for touring. After a busy day on the lake, sit by the fire pit and enjoy a fire or roast marshmallows on the many skewers that are provided. The perfect cottage for summer vacation.

Another wonderful week on Crooked Lake
This is the second year we stayed at Crooked lake Cottage -- and we are already planning for next summer. This year, my husband I travelled with our 2 kids, my mom and an aunt. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and we never felt crowded. The location is SUPER convenient to so many things to do. We loved fishing, kayaking, sitting on the deck and playing ping pong. Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Lovely, cozy, perfect family gathering spot
We picked the fall knowing weather could go either way for outdoor excursions. This place was perfect on rainy days with two living areas to spread out. The kitchen / dining area is nicely laid out to accommodate many cooks in the kitchen. Location was also great for shopping and nice hikes for the whole fam and our pups. The little lake it’s on was beautiful each morning

Great layout for a group gathering.
The only major complaint.... rain but that just moved us indoors to play pool and ping pong. There was plenty of room in the livingroom, den and kitchen. The kitchen table gave us plenty of room to spreadout at. There were 2 refridgerators which helped us store the extra food we brought.
