Alanson, Michigan
Looking for the perfect Northern Michigan escape Be sure to check out this cozy cottage nestled on a private drive with shared access to Crooked Lake.
The Hideaway is an older cottage full of character with a private backyard and shared access to Crooked Lake. It actually has some fun history behind it and was used as a hideout by bank robbers back when the Mackinaw City bank heist took place. We wanted to keep that historical feel so this place has that traditional lake cottage charm with some modern conveniences that will make your stay more comfortable.
It is located on a small, shared easement close to the main US-31 highway. There are only about 5 houses on Cedar Lane. It is close to the main highway US-31, but is tucked behind a row of trees to help with the noise and privacy. There is a shared access point to Crooked Lake at the end of of the private drive. Kayaks are available for your use, the main bike path is across the road, and marina is in walking distance.
The Hideaway is also conveniently located near Harbor Springs Downtown (10 minute drive), Petoskey (12 minute drive), the Mackinac Bridge (30 miles north), and Mackinac Island Ferry Service (28 miles north).
For summer guests, it’s located close to local marinas, the bike trail, hiking, state parks and much more! For fall and winter guests, it’s located close to orchards, the tunnel of trees, snowmobile trails, and the ski hills.
We were born and raised in Northern Michigan and love all that it has to offer! We can’t wait to host your stay and are more than happy to help with local recommendations.
Great location, quaint little place for my husband and I to spend the weekend. Equipped with everything you might need and clean, but the structure itself is on the older side and you can certainly “feel” that during your stay. Thank you!
What a lovely compact cottage. Everything we needed. We could get everywhere (despite the roadworks). Also HIGHLY recommend House of Pies down the road. Made for a cosy lunch back at the cottage.
Cute property, nicely updated decor, great location! Surprisingly comfortable daybed! Only downside was we didn't realize the only access to the only bathroom is through the bedroom. Being there with brother and favorite sister-in-law made that not a problem, though! Otherwise probably best for a couple with kids. Wonderful stay!
Very cute house that gave us a great base for exploring the area. Everything was clean & felt fresh. Great TV & comfy living space. Huge fridge & the kitchen has everything you need.
Property was exactly what it advertised to be. Bed and murphy bed were very comfortable. Amenities were as promised. Enjoyed our stay immensely, will return.
This is an adorable cottage, decorated nicely, very clean with all that you need. There was plenty of firewood left for our stay and we had access to two great kayaks and could sit at the water's edge just down the road. We would definitely go back. We had a few instances that we needed to speak with the owner and she called us/texted us back immediately. It was a great stay!
Cute. Perfect for just us dropping our bags and going. Communication with property owner was outstanding. Fits our simple needs for this stay.
Comfortable base for visiting Petoskey
nice location - we walked a lot and rode our bikes. bed great. living room and bathroom were both clean and neat. TV worked fine.... we used the stove and fridge and kitchen supplies - all good. Stephanie was easy to communicate with and very helpful. thanks
It’s a super cute cottage with a lot of charm that had everything we needed for our little family! You can tell that the owner’s have made this cottage so charming and clean they really care about making your stay enjoyable!
