About this property

Waterfront Crooked Lake Home - Family Friendly 3-Bedroom in Petoskey

Picturesque waterfront home on Crooked Lake just minutes from Petoskey. This recently updated home boasts 3 inviting bedrooms, including a king bed, a queen bed, and a bunk bed perfect for families and couples. Huge waterfront windows, incredible sunroom and spacious porch overlooking the private dock make this waterfront oasis the perfect place to gather, relax, and enjoy Up North.

The fully remodeled kitchen has stainless steel appliances, custom countertops and cabinets, and an open floor-plan that allows everyone to connect while making food, sharing a meal, and looking out at the lake. Located in an area renowned for its artesian springs, this home's freshwater is some of the best water on the planet.

Guests find 2 full bathrooms with refreshing showers, making mornings and post-lake swims easy and comfortable. Primary shower has bluetooth speaker inside and both showers are stocked with natural soaps and shampoo.

The house stays comfortable year-round with heating and air conditioning. The family room features an epic bookshelf of good reads, new flatscreen TV with Roku, and plenty of room to gather. The sunroom has room for games, puzzles, and watching the wildlife on the lake. Both the family room and sunroom have queen sleeper sofas to accommodate the whole family.

Sit and watch the swans pass by, observe otters swimming through, and enjoy sunrises that will take your breath away. The back porch is the ultimate outdoor hangout spot - complete with comfy chairs and loungers, and a brick walk to the fire pit along the water. Enjoy a post-dinner bonfire by the water, roast s'mores, and take in the evening sitting on the dock.

The wide open driveway is easy to get into, has room for 8 cars, and provides direct access to US-31. Inside the heated garage, you'll find a ping-pong table for family game nights, ample room for storage, and other backyard supplies.

This home is perfectly located to everything that Up North has to offer! Located 5 miles from downtown Petoskey, 7 miles from Boyne Highlands and Nub's Nob, 7 miles from Harbor Springs, and less than 3 miles from Petoskey State Park and Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan. Mackinaw City is only 30 minutes away, the Upper Peninsula (the U.P.) is 45 minutes north, and Traverse City is 90 minutes south.

Surrounded by local wineries, farm markets and fruit stands, and beautiful countryside and coastlines, you're on the water, and near everything.

The property was super clean on the inside of the house. Had 5 guys there for a bachelor party and all kinds of room for sleeping and hanging out. House was full with amenities and extra food and goodies.

The house was beautiful and spotlessly clean, and we had a wonderful stay. We loved it so much that we're already talking about bring some more family members with us next summer. As others have mentioned in their reviews, the wonderful fresh produce, frozen foods, and other provisions were such a welcome surprise. I have stayed in many summer rentals over the years and have never seen anything like it. Crooked Lake is just lovely, and Anne's house is exactly as described. She was the perfect host, and I recommend her house to anyone.

House was well appointed with high quality cookware, supplies, towels, firewood, camp chairs, etc. All new appliances making the kitchen very usable. There is no grill, which is rare, but was not expected as listing was accurate. Host provided a welcome gift basket stocked with many local food items which the family enjoyed. We were able to dock our 19ft boat at the property, however it is very shallow. Many weeds in the water near the dock, do not plan to swim near the shore, but Crooked Lake is amazing and great for boat, kayak, paddle boards, etc. U.S. 31 road is busy, but had no issues with noise or safety. Driveway is large allowing us to drive in and turn around to avoid backing out onto the busy road. Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. The bike path is nearby. Kids loved playing table tennis in the very clean and comfortable garage.

Our stay at the Crooked Lake property was amazing. Our group of three adult and two teen agers were greeted with a vase of fresh flowers and a very generously supply offrozen food from the Bear Creek organic farm plus staples , fresh produce and snacks a real luxury. Having all the ingredients for dinner our first night there a great convenience. The meat pies were delicious, plus fresh tomatoes. The beds are very comfortable, including the sofa beds. You can watch the sun come up over the lakefrom the sofa bed in the sun room; beautiful sight. The kitchen is newly remodeledand has everything. The house is cozy, spacious and very well furnished.
