Fall fishing and color tour!

This is a great find!! You get the combination of private lake view and you’re close to restaurants and grocery stores. The owners were excellent, communication before and during our stay made it easy to navigate. The home is 100% as you see it on line. Clean, plenty of space. The kitchen is equipped so no worries,! The home is located on Crooked Lake so lake access is in your back yard. The dock is large is perfect and was a great hole for my fishing boat. We would absolutely stay here again.

Crooked Lake Cottage

We are a group of four friends who take a girls trip every year. The house was perfect for us. We had our own bedroom. The accommodations were lovely. And you can’t beat the view from the deck. Everything was flawless. The host even left us cookies, which we devoured we definitely recommend this house. It was close to everything. We had a wonderful time.

It’s even better than it looks

What a beautiful place for a family vacation! We were quite comfortable even on a rainy day when we mostly stayed inside with our group of eight adults and an infant. However, when the weather is good this place just shines. The deck and yard with a well-maintained dock make a sunny northern Michigan day here close to Heaven. Highly recommend renting the pontoon (new upholstery!) or at least the kayaks for easy access to the lake, especially the sandbar. Look in closets and cabinets for just about everything you’d need. We also enjoyed the pack n play and sand tent available for use! The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating or responsive. On top of the fresh baked cookies upon arrival, Jessica brought over another box of goodies after our bad weather day. Really such a perfect experience, start to finish. We already can’t wait to visit again!

Such a quaint place to stay on the lake! The location is central to so many things and was the perfect size for our girls getaway of five. Our host couldn’t have been nicer and easy to work with.

Awesome space and fabulous lake!

Lovely updated cottage, well laid-out and more spacious that the square footage might suggest!! Wonderful amenities such as paddle boards, kayaks, and rental of the Pontoon on a beautiful clear lake with sand bar right across the way providing crystal blue shallow waters. Our kids also enjoyed the shallow swimming area right off the docks and fishing off the boat (which was EXCELLENT for catching perch, blue gill, sunfish, etc.). Location was so fun for us to check out the smaller towns and local favorites like House of Pies, Bob's Place in Alanson, Northwoods Restaurant, and other quaint places! All while being super close to bigger city amenities in Petoskey. So much to discover! Jessica, was above and beyond with host communications and check in was an absolute breeze! Don't miss out on this little slice of heaven in northern michigan!!!

Very clean cottage with Great Lake location.

This property was very clean and we were very pleased with the location on the lake. With teens ages 12-17 we were able to let them go the sand bar which is right across the lake in the rented kayaks and paddles boards. The owner of as very responsive and easy to communicate with. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend to everyone.
