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!

I have debated over what to say in the review. First of all the pros- location is great, host is very responsive, house has plenty of space for separation with multiple areas to lounge. There are many entertaining options from kayaks to pool/ping pong and several TVs.The cons- there is no ac, which for the record is my fault for not looking farther and just assuming It did. Didn’t realize until 3 weeks before stay. Maybe a normal summer It could be fine but this summer was extremely hot. There are 8 fans in the house plus two ceiling fans. 4 of the 8 were very weak. We brought two more and had to go buy two more. There were two days that the house was in the 80’s and all14 fans were running just to help a bit. To say the least sleeping was terrible. The WiFi is weak if you plan to work at all. We could text and call but the rest is spotty. The beach is full of weeds and only 2 feet deep for several yards out so swimming was not possible and last, which may be the biggest con, is the amount of spiders in and around the house. I grew up on a river so I am used to spiders but imo if you are renting out property, spraying for these creatures is a must. They were literally in every room and some of them were large. I understand wifi can be iffy in more remote locations and weeds grow but the other two could be addressed. In all I give the property a 3 star as is but if the air and spiders were addressed I rate It 4.5

This cottage was absolutely the best! It had everything even a crockpot! Every kitchen utensil, even dish soap , laundry soap, foil, spices, 2 refrigerators and double ovens. It has so much space, and a first floor bedroom. Even a room with a ping pong and pool table. Our grandchildren loved the little sandy beach and 2 kayaks for fun! We couldn’t have had a better cottage for our family!

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!
