One of six privately owned cottages on Crooked Lake in a family oriented park-like setting located near the popular sand bar. This cottage is full of natural light in a comfy, pine interior with all of the necessary amenities. This is the perfect place for all seasons.

The cute one bedroom, large loft (that includes 2 queen beds), and two full bathroom cottage sleeps six. The kitchen is well stocked for whatever you can imagine you might need.

450 feet of shared waterfront frontage and half is a sandy beach. Shallow and sandy bottom water makes for the BEST and safest swimming on Crooked Lake. Relax and kick back in the evening by roasting marshmallows from one of the multiple bonfire pits.

The Little Traverse Wheelway bike trail can be accessed just across the street from our cottage. Enjoy a great bike ride to Petoskey or the cute town of Alanson, just 3 miles north.

If you prefer a walk, there is a one mile walkway past the historic homes of Crooked Lake, which begins just down the street from the cottage. Our comfortable resort also includes volleyball, small basketball court, and horseshoes. You can really relax here!

There is a boat slip in private marina included with cottage rental. Just let us know if you're considering bringing a boat! Jet skis can be anchored in shallow water off the beach. Cottage is approx. 100 feet from the beach and lake.

The cottage comes with the use of 2 parking spots on the road side of the cottage. The spot in front is for the owners but won’t be used very often.

Lots of restaurants, golfing, and shopping close by-and only minutes from Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob. The Odawa Resort casino is only 15 minutes from cottage and Mackinac Island is only 30 miles away. A great location!

The beach and park-like setting with boat docking makes this a unique vacation property. If you need more space, we also own property #1502387, which sleeps 8. Reserve now to rent this cozy cottage only seven miles from Petoskey and nine miles from Harbor Springs!

    Beautiful cottage with a short drive to Mackinaw and Petoskey. There's a nice beach that our kids enjoyed winding down at. We would utilize this cottage without reservations for future adventures.

    The location and house was just as advertised.we had never been on crooked lake with a sandy beach. We had a terrific week of weather,short drive to northwood family restaurant,Bob's place,and golfing at chestnut valley. We hope to be back next summer.

    This was a great place for our family to stay. It was in a quiet location outside of Petosky but close enough it to all the main attraction. The cottage was very clean and well stocked with all the things need to cook in the kitchen. Nice little beach to relax at night. The owner was also very quick to reply to any questions we and even gave us suggestion on places to visit. I would recommend this place to friends and family and would even rent again the next time going to Petosky.

    Had a great weekend away for our anniversary with the kids. The use of the lilly pad was absolutely perfect and my the kids LOVED spending a bunch of time at the beach.

    House was very clean and well kept. Beds were comfortable. Cluster of lake homes share a beach and small marina. Simple check-in and out. Close to everything needed while on vacation. If you have kids, renting the lily pad and kayaks is a must! Perfect vacation to Petoskey.

    Cute clean cottage on Crooked Lake with shared sandy beachfront. Perfect for children, shallow waters go out for a large distance from shore. Light, bright and has everything you need for a great stay!

    This cabin is cute and clean and the owners are great hosts! The location of the cottage has zero private space and is very close to the highway consequently making it too noisy for us.
