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.

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!

Great location, biking, water sports, golf…. This property is clearly loved by the owners and it feels like it is your private lake house rather than a “rental”. Clean, spacious and up to date. A real gem.

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.

We rented the lake house for a soccer tournament in Petoskey and it was absolutely wonderful! Tons of space and amenities… truly a great experience. The bunk beds and huge couch in the game/tv room were a big hit with the players. Grill worked fabulous as we cooked a ton of chicken and brats on it for a team bbq. Kitchen had everything you could need to cook up a storm. Parking enough for 4 vehicles. Clark and Kate were amazing hosts and really did a great job with communicating and providing for a great experience. We are actually sad that this is our last year at the tournament as we really wanted to rent this home again. Instructions for the home were detailed and easy to follow. Loved the history of the home and family! Thank you so much Clark and Kate!

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.

We are still smiling after our stay here. There is something to offer for everyone from 1 year to 80 years of age at this cottage. There were plenty of kayaks and even a paddle boat. The little ones loved playing in the water and fishing off the dock. The house was updated, very clean and spacious. Communication from the owner was top notch. Thank you Clark!

Fantastic place to stay - Crooked Lake Haven - Oden, MI

From start to finish this was an incredible easy and fun filled experience.Before booking I had some questions on parking, dockage etc., and Clark and Kate very very quickly, (within an hour max., mostly within 20 minutes thoroughly answered eachquestion)The house was very clean, well set up with various amenities, lots of cups, dishes, plates, pots, pans, etc., for cooking. Many jigsaw puzzles and games for a rainy day, which luckily we did not incur. Also had a basket with dog items, big tub with beach kid toys, kayaks, pedal boat, paddle board, great beach and dock.The covered porch and the lake room with huge windows was our favorite. Having early morning coffee and watching the ducks, swans, loons from the porch was a nice reason to rise early. That along with seeing a beautiful sunrise over the lake. Only improvement would be to possibly have some more life preservers for kayaking, and other water activities, or in property description notify guests bring these as needed for their group.
