House was clean, comfortable, and everything was as shown in pictures. Amy was responsive with answering any questions/concerns I had during my stay. I did see another review concerning water temp in the showers but that was not a concern during my stay.. hot/cold both worked as expected. Great centralized location. Overall everything was great- I enjoyed my stay and will be booking again next time I’m in the area.

This property is amazing, right on the lake with amazing views. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The hosts made it easy to check in and out. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place on the lake. If you enjoy fishing I was able to go out on the lake one morning and caught about 20 blue gills with a family friend. 10 out of 10 property if you are looking for a peaceful getaway. I even got to see a bald eagles nest in the trees.

We had the best week on Crooked Lake! The house was so clean, cozy, and comfortable for our family of 5. We loved being so close to many adventures and towns to explore, but nothing beat coming back to playing in the clear lake followed by the incredible sunset while sitting on the deck or by the fire each night. We did rent a boat and explore into Pickerel and Burt Lakes - highly recommend! We've been staying in various places in Northern Michigan for the last 8 years and this was definitely a favorite. We'd definitely be back!

Lovely home on Crooked Lake! We enjoyed watching the birds (swans, loons, herons, cranes) and the sunsets each night. The house was clean and conveniently located to Petoskey. The kitchen was pretty sparse and we had to buy some essentials for cooking (sugar, foil, etc). Despite not having AC, there were plenty of fans provided that helped the house cool down at night.

Amy, Thanks for the review. We take pride in the cleanliness of the cottage and appreciate your feedback. We do stock a complete kitchen full of dishes, bowls, pots, pans, silverware, glasses, tupperware etc. everything needed for your kitchen preparation needs. We do advertise that paper products, soaps, and bathroom needs (although we do have hand soaps and dish soaps and toilet paper, enough to get you started for your vacation stay) are not supplied. Renters are responsible for bringing their desired food and baking ingredients and soaps. Also as advertised we do not have air conditioning but typically there is a nice breeze that comes off the water and the overall temp usually drops significantly at night so air conditioning is not needed most of the summer. As you stated, we do have plenty of fans if temps are above average. Thanks again for choosing our cottage for your stay! Sincerely, Amy

Great stay!

Clean and cute home. Comfortable beds. Peaceful setting. Just some things to note...you cant really play in the water as its shallow for quite a ways out, weedy and mucky. Have to be careful bringing the boat to the dock as its shallow, grassy and lots of logs to watch out for. It is still a beautiful view and nice peaceful setting and view. No AC in the home but they have a few fans to place where you want them. Water temp in the bathroom is very tricky. Either scalding hot or cold so you have to play with it a bit. We enjoyed our stay. The communication was great.

Stunning Sunsets

Absolutely wonderful week !!! Amy and John were fantastic hosts and responded quickly to enquiries. Cottage was immaculate. There is lovely breeze off the water and the cottage stayed comfortable and even cool. We rented the kayaks and paddled out on crooked lake and enjoyed watching the swans. The owners have spent years dumping sand at the lake front so the ground wasn’t mucking but Sandy off the ladders from the private dock. The property front got sun for 80% of the day !! A definite advantage. Centrally located and close to grocery stores, farmers markets and downtown Petoskey, Harbor Springs ! Nice treat - the beds were very comfortable and the sheets - super soft. Nice treat ! Would definitely recommend !

Beautiful Property!

We had a wonderful week at this cottage. We rented the cottage right beside it as well for our whole family. Cottages are clean, nicely decorated, furnished, and close to anything you could need or want. We docked 2 boats- plenty of space for that. We rented owner's kayaks and paddle board. Kids loved them. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone else. Thanks for a great week!

Great lakeside location close to Petoskey

We loved the place. Great communication with the owner. We rented the kayak and had several nice trips on the lake. Didn’t use the fire pit due to rain but nicely setup for it. Kitchen was stocked for basic cooking needs but plenty of plates, cups, etc. The nonstick pots and pans are pretty worn and could be replaced. Chairs in living space could benefit from new covers and the sleeper sofa mattress a bit thin for an adult to sleep on. No dishwasher or soap (as listed correctly) but plenty of towels to dry dishes and stores a short drive away. Great washer and dryer. Also, only a short distance to Oden Island nature preserve and petoskey area sights. Would recommend to others.
