About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Home- Crooked Lk-Petoskey/Harbor Springs/Nubs- boat/bike/ski

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.

The place was great. We enjoyed the living spaces. The place was very spacious. The kitchen was great. It was well stocked with all the supplies, tools, pots/pans. There was plenty of towels. Loved the welcome book with recommendations and the history in the house. The location was ideal for snow skiing and short derive to many different restaurants. Our hosts were very responsive. Clark was great. He cleaned the driveway early to make sure we got to the ski slopes early.

In the area for a wedding. Great home base. Central location to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Loved the view of the swans on the lake every morning fishing. Charming atmosphere and very kid friendly with a step stool even for the kitchen - loved that. Highly suggest this property.

Clark, Kate, and Heidi could not have been better hosts! So accommodating and friendly— Kate responded so promptly to all of our messages!The house is exactly as pictured, very clean and fully stocked. The lake is lovely with swans visiting us every day. The largest swans I’ve ever seen! It was delightful to take my morning coffee on the back porch or even on the dock and watch them fish. This is a beautiful area to visit, and we could not have asked for a better location as our home base. We would definitely stay stay here again when we’re in the area!

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.
