Great beach location! Super clean lake, and the property has an awesome backyard that walks right out to the water with a large sandy beachfront. Perfect area for kids to play or swim. House was very clean with a well-stocked kitchen and fire pit. The hosts definitely think of every detail! We rented the pontoon they have available at the dock and it was super convenient. It is only 40 hp, so we weren’t able to go tubing (not enough power/speed), but it was great to leisurely cruise around the lake. We were very happy with our stay!

A big mid-summer Michigan storm knocked power out of the house and the surrounding town for a few days, shortening our trip. However, this only highlighted how great of a host Brenda's Beach House really is. Brett communicated every step of the way and got us in to the house at the earliest point possible. Everything was as expected, maybe even better than the pictures. Beautifully appointed house and grounds on a really nice mid-Michigan lake. They had everything you could ask for in a summer rental and more. Beach lounging, boating, games, a well appointed kitchen. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the kind comments. It was a pleasure to have your family come stay with us. We were able to pinpoint the issue with the whole house generator and Consumers Energy is installing a 3x higher capacity meter to ensure the generator gets all the natural gas volume that it could ever need again to power the house during an outage. Hope to have you stay again!

Beautiful House on the Beach

Great vacation on the lake!

This is a very nice house on the lake with all the amenities (comforts of home) for a memorable family vacation. Lots of space for family to gather. Nice sandy area and big shallow water front with sandy bottom. It was great for all kids (ages 1 - 35) and big enough for the kids to have their own space.

Great cottage!

Your cottage is a great place for family. Nice sandy beach for the little ones on a beautiful lake that wasn’t overly busy. We had fun fishing, boating, taking the girls tubing, kayaking, making s'mores by the fire and enjoying a couple of beautiful sunsets. Nice to relax and be together in such a comfortable cottage.

This lake house really checked all the boxes for our family of 10: nicely remodeled home, close to the water, very well appointed home and kitchen, fire pit with plenty of wood, clean, boat at the dock, great owner, nice local stores, great fishing all week, and comfortable beds and linens.

First time on Upper Crooked Lake and we loved it. The house was exactly how it was listed and was perfect for our family. Tons of beds for everyone. The beach was great for the little kids and the patio/fire pit was great! The inside made it feel like you were at the Beach. Communication was great with the Owner. Highly recommend this place!
