About this property
Devils Elbow Cottage on Crooked River with HOT TUB!! Ski and Golf nearby!!
Come relax with the whole family on Crooked River. Enjoy 650ft of waterfront on Devils Elbow!
Boat well available for your own boat or rent one nearby for your vacation! About an 8 minute boat ride to Burt Lake or 15 minutes to Crooked Lake. Spend the entire day enjoying the inland waterways.
Hang out by the fire pit or hot tub after a long day of enjoying the great outdoors! Literally the best star gazing at night!
*Only 22 minutes to Nubs Nob or The Highlands for skiing/Snowboarding, snow shoeing, cross country, etc!!!
The River Cottage is centrally located and gives you the true meaning of being “Up North” year round!!
Crooked River is one of the main connecting bodies of water in the famed Inland Waterway. We are located on a no wake zone so it adds to the peacefulness of the cottage! The interconnected inland lakes and rivers provide over 40,000 acres of inland protected waterways. The lakes allow boaters the ability to explore many different areas all within the relatively calm waters that inland lakes provide.
For those that want to expore by vehicle, some of the most popular towns in all of Michigan are a short drive away. Petosky is about a 25 minute drive and Mackinaw City is 30 minutes away! Take a ferry over to the world famous Mackinac Island! Things to note:
- please be respectful to our neighbors
- boat rentals fill up fast! So call well in advance if you would like to rent a boat:
•Marooners Marina (pontoons, kayaks and SUP)
•Ryde Marine
•windjammer marina
•Indian river marina
•Lake to lake rentals
(just add a .com after those listed above!)
Or want to try your hand at ATV rides or snowmobiles during the winter months:
