About this property

This iconic home sits on beautiful Crooked Lake just north of Petoskey and west of Harbor Springs. You are just minutes from shopping in the Gaslight District of Petoskey or strolling the streets and shops of beautiful Harbor Springs. Historic Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, and the Mackinac Bridge are 45 minutes north.
In the summer months, you can enjoy relaxing by the lake or take a kayak, paddle board or rent a boat to go out on the water. If you own a boat, there is a private dock available.
This location is just 5-10 minutes from Lake Michigan and has quick access to local biking, hiking, and snowmobile trails. This location is also a winter haven for the snow enthusiasts, with ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice skating, snow shoeing, and cross country skiing. Additionally, you are just down the road from some of the best down hill skiing in the Midwest at Nubs Nob, Highlands of Harbor Springs, and a short 20 minute drive from Boyne Mountain.
Crooked Lake is connected to the Inland Water Ways which can take you to Burt Lake, Pickerel Lake, Mullet Lake, and even Lake Huron and Lake Michigan if you are up for it.
Enjoy the early morning sunrises and after a fun filled day, an evening campfire.

Beautiful Family Ski Getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend at the home on Crooked Lake. Everything was clean, beautiful, organized and perfect to house our family of 7- including two small children, two grandparents and a dog. We especially enjoyed the lake room - watching the gorgeous sunrise and active wildlife around the lake. Proximity to downtown Petoskey, as well as the ski resorts was optimal for our mixed group of skiers and non-skiers. All communication with the Hewitt's was efficient, pleasant and easy. I would definitely recommend this home -and we are hopeful to be back for future stays!

Awesome place to stay!

We plan a ski weekend with our adult kids and their spouses every year. Unfortunately we never got to the slopes because of the poor winter weather conditions in the midwest this year. HOWEVER this Lake House was a god-sen. We were able to spread out and be comfortable playing games, cooking, talking, watching Rugby on TV, and sleeping. It helped that this VBRO was the best equipped rental we have ever stayed at. I kinda wish it was summer so we could have taken advantage of the lakefront and lake. But the view was awesome. There seems to be plenty to do in town and the surrounding area. We did walk downtown Petoskey then visited a winery out side of town. No question best rental we have stayed at and would recommend it to anyone.

Annual ski trip

This property had enough room for all of us as well as a separate space for the kids to hang out. The house was very clean and stocked well with items needed.

Lovely house and location!

Had a great time at this house skiing at Nubs Nob over MLK weekend. Easy drive to the hill or into Harbor Springs or Petosky for dinner. We had snow overnight every night we were there and the house manager had us plowed out every morning before we wanted to leave. Would love to visit in the summer sometime to enjoy the lake! Will definitely plan to return.

About the host

Hosted by Clark Hewitt, Kate Hewitt

This property is owned by Middle Brothers LLC. We are third generation property owners consisting of the second and third sons (Clark and Steve) of William B Hewitt. William B Hewitt was the son of William F and Lois C Hewitt ( original owners). This property was bought from the Conway Lumber Company in 1936 when the mill went out of business.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family since the Conway Lumber Company sold this property to our grandparents, William and Lois Hewitt in 1936. Our father, William B and JoAnn Hewitt inherited the property in 1989. It is our desire to keep the property in the family and allow others to enjoy the home and picturesque scenery that we have grown to love.

We hope you enjoy your stay at this historical property and are able to explore all the beauty that Northern Michigan and the surrounding area has to offer.
