About this property

Cabin on the lake orv’s and campers welcome!

Need a peaceful and comfy place to reset? Come enjoy the tranquility of Crooked Lake! Take in the views while sitting at the campfire and enjoying your getaway. In the warmer months, enjoy hanging out in the water by the dock, or throw a fishing line in off the dock for the ultimate vacation relaxation! Not only is the water fun, but there is plenty of yard for kids to run and play, too. The snowmobiling and cross country skiing trails are endless! Plus extra camper power 110 and water hookup!

The cabin is a cozy 3 bedroom, 1 bath home. There are two bedrooms downstairs, one with a smart TV. The third bedroom is a large bonus room on the second floor with three full size beds, smart TV, tons of DVDs and player, and a bin of toys and games for kids to enjoy! The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pots, pans, silverware, cooking utensils, anything you need to cook. The kitchen and living room are an open space, with a large smart TV. All smart TVs have a Roku set up - enjoy free channels or feel free to log into your streaming channels while you're there.

The cabin is just 2 miles from downtown Atlanta where you can find a hometown coffee shop, restaurants, grocery store, antique store, hardware store - anything you could need during your stay. Atlanta is the Elk Capital of Michigan! Hop on your quad, snowmobile, side x side, dirt bike or in your vehicle to go check them out! There are also several great fishing lakes in the area. Amazing walking / hiking trails all over Northern Michigan start right here in Atlanta.

Get on the ORV trail system from the cabin at 489 Rd. Head into town for gas then out to explore the many miles of trails!

There are plenty of state parks nearby, such as beautiful Clear Lake State Park, which offers a beautiful sandy beach and shallow swimming area that is perfect for kids. It also has a trail spur that offers a direct connection to the Atlanta ORV route and the Michigan Cross Country Cycle Trail.

Come enjoy Atlanta, a peaceful great escape from busy home life!

Wonderful place minus cleanliness and mouse problem

Wonderful, cute place and great location, loved it. The only downside and reason for the low rating was we paid over $600 to stay for 3 nights and had to wash anything we used as there were mouse droppings all over beds, floors and tables upstairs and throughout the kitchen cupboards and drawers. When we first arrived there was a dead mouse in the toilet which was fine, we can totally handle knowing there might be a couple critters being this time of year. But the house should have been inspected if there's a known infestation, saw a few rodent poison bricks around, and also it should have been cleaned properly before guests arrive as a cleaning fee is included. Host was very apologetic and offered to try to send in a cleaning crew but we were leaving early next morning so we declined. Would love to stay again if it were properly cleaned drawers. drawers.

Nice views

House was easy to find and get in. Beds were very comfortable, nice little living area, and kitchen was cute. We did have some ants on the counter by the sink, as well as a dead bird out by the water (looked like it had been there for a few days). Also bugs all over the kayaks/peddle boat, and no paddle board as stated on listing. Otherwise, house was nice.

Best vacation everr

The house was very clean. Loved how well stocked everything was. Loved the fact we could sit on the dock and fish with the younger kiddos but still be close to the house. Would definitely book again. This is actually our second time booking this house we have been booking it every year for the last couple of years. I honestly don't in have anything negative that I could say about the house or even the property/owner.

Very quiet getaway!

The cabin has been undated and was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck watching geese swim by, kayaking on the lake, and catches up as a family. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the appliances and tools we needed. It is very close to a small town and to miles and miles of state owned wilderness and trails. We're so glad we booked this place!

Great Up North Hideaway

We had an amazing time up north at this rental. The cabin was the perfect spot to relax, fish, and kayak. We watched the davis park/Atlanta fireworks from the street, talk about front row seats! The house had all the amenities necessary for our trip. We had a great time on the Jon boat fishing and caught a lot of fish (bluegills, bass, pike) from the dock + on Crooked Lake. The cabin is situated on a quite street and within a short drive of downtown. Looking forward to booking another trip here!

Home away from home

It was very well stocked, very clean and accommodating for all 9 people that stayed there for a week. We would definitely book again and recommend to others. We loved the dock access for fishing with 3 kids under 8 we didn't have to worry about them getting close to the water or falling in. Great communication with the property owner with any concerns or questions we had. Loved the fact it had a washer and dryer on site especially with that many people and staying a week. The home and area was very peaceful and quiet but convenient to things we needed. Easy access to and from the cabin. Great little restaurant in town called Chatters. We traveled from North Carolina so it was nice to have a relaxing place to stay.

Perfect for us

We needed a place to stay during the Sno*Drift race and it was perfectly situated near the school and senior center where those related events took place. Clean and tidy, had more than enough towels, coffee and blankets for us. Very happy. Only thing that was confusing was the lock to get in the door, it malfunctioned.

About the host

Hello I’m Paul!

I’m here to help make your stay fun and easy. I am the owner and property manager. My family and I love coming up north and enjoying the lake with fishing, swimming, kayaking. Our other favorite thing up here is riding our quads, dirt bikes and side x sides. The trails are amazing, and we like to cruise around looking for elk, deer, and turkeys. We are planning to make many more memories up here, so feel free to ask for ideas on fun things to do this is nature's paradise!

Why they chose this property

Great location on the lake for paddle boats, paddle boards, kayaks, or just playing in the water off the dock. The lot is extra big for relaxing space with your company enjoying a campfire or grilling out. There’s lots of room to park many vehicles and trailers. Trails for riding start right off the property and can lead you to Gaylord, Traverse City, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan and more.

The cabin is almost 1,100 sq ft, and with a complete remodel and updated open space, it’s ready to accommodate guests comfortably.

What makes this property unique

Atlanta is the Elk Capital of Michigan and there are miles of ORV trails to explore!
