The Hideaway of Crooked Lake

We stayed here in mid-October and we had a great time! Stephanie the hostess was so quick to respond to any questions or if we needed help! The location was perfect and the décor was so cute! We would definitely recommend this location to our friends!

Clean quaint cottage. Easy communication with the owner. Owner was very responsive. Good location for up north activities and tourist hotspots.

Loved our stay at the Hideaway of Crooked Lake! Very clean with great amenities. We took the kayaks on the lake, enjoyed the firepit area and, of course, the inside of the cabin was great! The host was very thoughtful and quick to respond to messages.

It was delightful! The place was extremely clean, spacious despite the small size, and had everything we could need. (Including a washer and drier in case you didn't pack enough clothes or might want to pack light and just do laundry.) On top of meeting our needs, they provided a handy guide to the area in case we didn't already know it, and a few extra amenities that went above and beyond. A little fire pit in the back, kayaks in the shed, quality internet and good tv options with the Roku. If the weather got too hot or too cold, there was a handy window ac unit, and a cute little stove fireplace in case it got cold. We never needed heat, but that AC was a godsend! The weather was delightful, and Ponshe is always welcoming. We enjoyed the water, walks down to the boathouse, and plenty of stargazing. When we weren't out on the town or exploring little Traverse Bay, we were in the hideaway enjoying a delicious homemade breakfast with goodies from the local Dutch Oven Bakery, and Plath's Meats! Can't wait till next year.

We enjoyed our short stay. Cute cabin, has everything you need including nice size refrigerator and washer/dryer! It is an older cabin, but inside it is nicely decorated. It did get a bit hot, even with the window unit they have in the living room, but there are a few fans to put in the bedroom. Lake access is limited. We felt like we were always being watched by lakeside homeowners when we put the kayak in on the shore (can't use docks). But the cabin has everything you need and is in a nice area.

The house is situated in a nice neighborhood a very short walk to a lake. The accommodations are accurate as listed online. The owner was good about communicating. My only complaint was that the floors were dirty on arrival and could have used a more thorough swiffervacuum.

I will definitely go there again with my husband we had such a pleasant time and the host was wonderful.

This property accommodated all our needs. However, being from a construction background this place could use some love. Windows are old, floors uneven, and no central heat. Bathroom door was changed from a left hand open to a right hand open by simply turning the door upside down. That's kind of hillbilly in my book. But all things considered this place covered all our needs, management was very responsive when we had a small problem, and overall the place was okay. It's not actually on the lake, but several houses down on a shared driveway. While I may be more critical when others I really would not discourage anybody from staying here.

Clean and cute cottage. Great location, close to Petoskey attractions and nearby wineries.

Cute cottage by the lake with all the essentials at a great location.

The place is very cute and conveniently located between Petoskey and the surrounding area. It was well stocked with things a person might need whether kitchen or bathroom, and cutely decorated. Kitchen appliances were nice. There was unfortunately gunk on one of the bathroom towels, slight mold on the shower curtain, burns and stains on the comforter, some silverware was dirty, and it was difficult at times to know if the front door was locked or not. Overall a nice place, however for the expected cleaning fee we expected the place to be even cleaner than it was. Otherwise it was cute and lovely, thank you :)

We loved the amenities and kayaks provided. Highly recommend.

Clean quiet and relaxing!

Perfect property for anything you need to do in the area. Everything was clean and comfortable. Would definitely use the property in any future stays.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It was very clean, stylishly decorated and well stocked. There was nothing that we needed that wasn't provided. We'll definitely keep this place in mind for another get away!

This was the perfect place to stay with my wife for a mini honeymoon. Minutes away from petoskey, close to harbor springs and mackinaw! Very clean and organized with all necessary cooking items!

Rented the property for my mom and daughter to stay at while my daughter did a day camp in Harbor Springs. Very clean, beautifully decorated and perfectly situated. Host was very easy to communicate with.
