Great location! Right on Crooked Lake with access to the inland waterway, near the bike trail, short drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, the state park and much more. Large, well organized and equipped kitchen. Dining table inside and on the deck. Large, comfortable living room. Owner lives next door and is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Vacation

We had the best time! Hosts were awesome, house was nicely updated, fluffy towels, best fresh baked cookies, easy to get to and the lake is clear and beautiful. Having a boat to rent onsite was icing on the cake. Definitely would stay here again.

The location is the best on the lake as it sits across from the sandbar and is a close drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Place is very clean. The owners are fantastic and the list responsive of any I’ve ever rented from on VRBO! Also got some good fishing tips from Justin (thanks Justin the boys caught a ton of fish!)

Such a quaint place to stay on the lake! The location is central to so many things and was the perfect size for our girls getaway of five. Our host couldn’t have been nicer and easy to work with.

Very clean cottage with Great Lake location.

This property was very clean and we were very pleased with the location on the lake. With teens ages 12-17 we were able to let them go the sand bar which is right across the lake in the rented kayaks and paddles boards. The owner of as very responsive and easy to communicate with. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend to everyone.
