About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

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.

Total misrepresentation of this property

Upon arriving the front storm door broken and the exterior of the siding has green & black mold everywhere. This property has not been kept up. Above going inside the house had such a mildew smell especially in the cupboards and walk in pantry, laundry room and pool table area.The rugs are old and dirty we had to remove them due to the condition and smell. The reason I bring my family up north is so all my grand kids can swim, well not in this lake with all the sea weed and the gross slim at the bottom. The grill was dirty and old, also lawn chairs dirty & some were broken, lawn was covered in goose poop. All in all this property was a huge disappointment.

2022 Family Vacation

This is the 2nd year we stayed at CLC and had another wonderful time! The weather did not cooperate and it was cool and windy so didn't take out our pontoon much but there are so many other things to do around the area that we were busy! The house was comfortable and afforded our large group of 9 plenty of space to move about. Unfortunately the beach area at the house is not the best, too many geese and that is nothing you can change so be understanding about it! A short ride out on the boat and you will find a great sandbar and you can access a beach on Pickerel Lake. The owner is very accommodating about bringing a pontoon, last year we rented from the area this year we had our own. There are also several area beaches within driving distance. The garage ping pong table also kept the kids busy and the big dinning room table gave us plenty of room to eat and play games.

A lot of fun - not enough time!

Here are the things we liked and felt were excellent: - The upstairs bedrooms were great, plenty of room and light! - Large closets. - A highchair - Large kitchen, eating, and family room combination with a large island. - two large "family" rooms at the back of the house - We especially liked the "extra" room at the back of the house for quiet time. - The backyard/beach was lovely. - We really liked the deck area that had a clear "fence". We were able to let the baby and the dog be outside without worrying about safety. - The garage had a pool and pingpong which we used when it rained. - Fishing off the end of the dock -Kayaking -bonfire Here were the things we did not enjoy: - The downstairs bedroom was very small and dark with a memory foam mattress. You could hear the traffic on 31 at night. However, it had a walk-in closet that we were able to use for dressing and storage. There was an attached bathroom. - The upstairs bedroom with a Queen sized bed had a "hard" mattress. - Some of the boards on the dock was a little shaky, and we had to watch the toddlers very carefully so they would not fall off while fishing (yes they caught fish off the end of the dock, much to their delight). -The dryer was broken so we had to use a laundromat -Not enough towels for everyone's needs Overall this was a great place to spend time with family. We are thinking seriously about coming back next year. If so, we will bring beach and extra bath towels. There was lots to do very close to where we were plus lots to do on the property as well. Getting a comfortable nights sleep was the only real problem anyone had. I highly recommend the property, but suggest that a 4-day weekend was not long enough to really explore all the activities that a family might want to do. We had a great time. We are also thinking about coming back here for a winter adventure.
